Democratic Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota confronted Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah over his social media posts about the recent shootings in Minnesota that killed a state lawmaker and her husband.
According to MSNBC, the incident began when Lee posted controversial comments on social media about the shootings, suggesting that the suspect, who was identified by a close friend as a right-wing Trump voter, was a “Marxist.” Lee even pinned this tweet to the top of his social media feed for emphasis.
