Anger after senator says Trump deserves 'mulligan' for Capitol riot speech

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Utah senatorMike Lee has prompted backlash after suggesting that Donald Trump deserves a “mulligan” for his speech that incited his supporters to march on the Capitol.

In an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday, Mr Lee was asked whether there was a “double standard” between comments made by Democrats encouraging their backers to confront Republicans.

“It's not different, these are outgrowths of the same natural impulse that exist from time to time among anyone in this business and in many other businesses,” he said.

“Look, everyone makes mistakes, everyone is entitled to a mulligan once in a while,” he added, hours before Mr Trump’s second impeachment trial began in the Senate.

Lee figures why should Ron Johnson, James Inhoff and Tommy Tuberville have all the fun? He wants to vie for the "dumbest senator" award too.

4. Sen. Lee's also the guy all bent out of shape because of an inconsequential inference against him

I recapped it in a post earlier today, but Wonkette has a fuller, better, and snarkier version here.

5. Only people who consistently well perform deserve a mulligan when they goof up

Saying Trump deserves a mulligan implies he normally performs well in whatever he does. There's a pattern of things turning to shit when Trump touches them. When someone repeatedly doesn't perform, you don't give them a mulligan, you get rid of them. That's something any businessperson would know.

6. He GOT a mulligan from the Senate Feb. 5th, 2020.
