Call for Mike Lee to resign

To: Sen. Banks, Rep. Baird, Sen. Young

From: A verified voter in Martinsville, IN

June 16

Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota were killed this week by a Republican extremist who voted for your ideals. No matter how anyone may spin it, this is the absolute truth of the matter. The responses from several Congressional representatives in the GOP caucus have been nauseating to say the least. Marjorie Taylor Greene knew EXACTLY what she was doing when she posted a picture of herself at a gun range minutes after news of the shootings occurred. But, the worst, by far, was Senator Mike Lee from Utah and his tweets suggesting the gunman was not MAGA while glorifying the shooting with his tweet: "Nightmare on Walz Street" In any previous time, both of these would be actions requiring censure and expulsion. However, you are guilty of using the phrase "Radical Leftists" in regards to democrats and any one of your Constituents who disagree with your policies. You are supposed to represent ALL of us- but you choose to only represent the MAGA element and encourage potential violence. Words matter, and I am done with all of your willingness to promote violence and then acting shocked when it occurs. Speak out today against Mike Lee especially and demand his removal from the Senate, then speak out against a President who promoted the same level of violence against Blue cities and states with the same rhetoric last night. You are fully complicit in these acts by using that same language and continually refusing to condemn your colleagues.
