A Senator {Mike Lee, R, Utah] looks at a grainy photo of a vape pen 3 years after the storming of the Capitol

[riversedge]

Senator Mike Lee sure made a complete a** of himself. Twitter is nothing but this issue this morning.




A Senator looks at a grainy photo of a vape pen 3 years after the storming of the Capitol and wonders if the smoking device might be evidence that the guy in the MAGA hat was really secret FBI.

1. Not a badge. A vape.

2. Even if it were a badge, it wouldn’t prove anything nefarious like you’re suggesting. It would simply show that even more police officers were on team MAGA than we originally thought

3. You couldn’t investigate your way out of a paper bag.

4. Resign.

@BradMossEsq
That person is holding a vape. Wray will tell you he was prosecuted and sentenced to jail.

@RonFilipkowski
Sen. Mike Lee & MAGA launch new conspiracy based off J6 footage claiming rioter was holding an FBI badge & must be an agent. Except it was a vaping device, he got 51 months, and he stole a pic of John Lewis from Pelosi’s desk & a staffer’s wallet. Story …

1. Do the GQP ever tell the truth?..........................................

It seems ingrain that it's a must to lie, cheat, steal, and make up shit.

GQP's worship the devil.

2. Y'all are letting facts get in the way of an important conspiracy theory!

7. Boy, he's sure taking a page from the old Tucker/Hannity playbook here...

“Hey, I’m just asking questions here…”

8. riversedge is right. This covers most of X the last two days

I posted the story of these being released late Friday afternoon. I called it. Selective editing. They’ve gone from just saying “tourists” (the Capital was on lockdown) to these “they made us do it…not that we did anything” BS.

4. Just so damn irresponsible

for a senator to put this on social media, not knowing what he's talking about but suggesting it could be red meat for his base to get frothy over. He's a dingus!

[Lonestarblue]

5. Well, it's for sure Republicans aren't elected for their brain power, as they have so little.

6. Grasping at straws

When does the DoJ start investigating those in the senate and house that supported the "insurrection" ??

Or will we ever investigate them for their actions ??

9. Ryan Reilly even wrote about this guy in his new book.

10. Why do you waste your time with this?

Seriously. Why?

11. Ignorant. Stupid. Inane. Lying. Counterproductive to American Life.

Synonyms for republican congress critters.

12. He's a liar and a dumbshit.

He's had access to this stuff for years. He's just pretending he doesn't know what's going on.

People really need to stop electing these lying jackasses.

13. Utah...

AKA: West Alabama.

14. I like how readers responded with the exact identity of the person in the photo

as convicted MAGA insurrectionist Kevin Lyons. But wait, MAGA doesn't vape? Only FBI vapes?

This is proof that Lauren Boebert is secretly FBI since she vapes in the face of pregnant women in theaters. In fact it is mostly idiot Republicans who vape in Congress and refused to ban smoking in the Capitol. Sharing second hand smoke is as Republican as sharing viruses.

[Takket]

16. why does this country keep electing absolute IDIOTS???????

yeah because if the police were actually infiltrating the protesters to egg them on to start a riot, then they would certainly be FLASHING THEIR BADGES while they do so.

[Harker]

17. If he doesn't ask Director Wray about it...

I hope Wray brings it up on his own, somehow.

19. I can't tell. Does this picture show Mike Lee selling crack at an elementary school?

Somebody should ask Mike

[captain queeg]

20. These rethugs don't even have the decency to be embarrassed

Being embarrassed comes from realizing how stupid and wrong you were. Guaranteed this ass hat will double down rather than silently skulking away. And most certainly will not publicly admit his error. Look for a flood of cherry picked, out of context photos in support of their hare brained theories. Rather than looking at the huge volume of evidence clearing showing the trump backed insurrection they’ll continue to grasp at straws.

21. Knew this was coming

Spreading disinformation, nothing else they can do

[GiqueCee]

22. Lee is an idiot...

... and his devotion to the Constitution and this country is justifiably suspect.

“Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and [prosperity] are,” he wrote. “We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.”
