Utah Sen. Mike Lee is facing outrage and calls for his resignation over social media posts that baselessly claim the man charged with targeting Minnesota lawmakers in shootings during the weekend has ties to the political left.
U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) , an ally to President Donald Trump, is in hot water over a social media post.

The first step to overcoming any addiction is admitting you have a problem. That's a step that Lee has not yet taken when it comes to his phone. Perhaps he finds value in being this online. Perhaps it's good for his political brand, or for fundraising. Maybe he just lives for the liberal tears.
But maybe he should enlist the help of a former colleague who quit Twitter after considering "the data about the way social media is designed to create dopamine hits for teenage kids." Until then, you can expect more deranged and adolescent behavior from Lee. In the meantime, props to Sen. Smith for confronting him about it.
