So Utah is getting interesting...Conservative, former 2016 GOP Presidential candidate Evan McMullin is running as an Independent and has the backing of Utah Dems. There is no actual Dem running as they decided at their state Convention to endorse McMullin.
The Incumbent Mike Lee is a converted full blown MAGA who actually voted for McMullin in 2016 and wanted nothing to do with Trump. Of course that changed when he got elected in 2016, and realized trump was the key to remaining in power. And despite portraying himself as moderate and initially condemning Jan 6, later documents have revealed that he actually played a role in the Stop the Steal movement. But neither Trump or Lee are particularly popular in Utah ,and recent polls show him only leading EM by 4 points...
So last night, Lee went on Tucker and literally whined about Romney not (as of yet) endorsing him. He basically begged Romney to endorse him, and even Tucker seemed to be in shock. The look (dumbfounded) on TC's face is priceless...
Now as cringeworthy as that was, Trump getting involved and showing no shame is even more hilarious. Think of all the times Trump has attacked Romney, and all the other "RINO"s he hates. Then check out this statement he released today that if nothing else demonstrates that the word "irony" has not yet made it on to the list of vocabulary words that Trump understands. This is truly rich...
"Former President Trump slammed Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Wednesday, accusing him of “abusing” his Utah colleague Sen. Mike Lee (R) following news that Romney has refrained from issuing an endorsement in Lee’s reelection campaign.
“Mike Lee is an outstanding Senator who has been abused, in an unprecedented way, by a fellow Republican Senator from his own State, something which rarely has happened in political History,” Trump said in a statement issued through his Save America PAC.
“Such an event would only be understandable if Mike did not perform his duties as a United States Senator, but he has, and he has performed them well,” the former president continued."
Hey Donald, more than a few folks would like a word with you regarding "abusing fellow Republicans".. And both Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are at the front of the line, while Lisa Murkowski stepped out for a beer...
