Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee declared in a heated press conference Wednesday afternoon that national security officials had just delivered the "worst military briefing" he had ever seen on Capitol Hill, even claiming that one official had warned during the "lame" and "insane" meeting that Congress shouldn't debate whether additional military action against Iran would be appropriate.
Democrats piled on, with Virginia Democratic Rep. Gerald E. Connolly calling the briefing "sophomoric and utterly unconvincing." Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, for her part, asserted that she has been "stricken with PTSD" due to recent developments and condemned President Trump's new sanctions against Iran as "economic warfare." (Omar and her family fled war-torn Somalia and spent years in a refugee camp.) Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., called her comments "a disgrace and offensive to our nation’s veterans who really do have PTSD," prompting Omar to respond, "I survived war as a child and deal with post-traumatic stress disorder—much like many who have served or lived through war. It’s shameful that you as a member of Congress would erase the PTSD of survivors."
Lee made clear that his response was directed primarily at the classified briefing for lawmakers on the Iran situation and not the White House's Iran policy generally -- but, he said, the slapdash sit-down would have consequences.

Mike Lee is an idiot.
I guess they prefer to be baffled with bullsh*t.
Google pulled some strings.
I think she is suffering from vaginal irritation.
He took bribes from Iran to grease the JCPoA.
Lee is trying to curry favor with the leftists in Big Tech. So they invest more in Utah.
If you haven’t seen the disgusting public statement by Sen. Lee today you need to watch it.
It was disgusting. And, right beside him was Rand, the apple does not fall far from the tree, Paul.
Where were the two “principled” losers when Obama targeted 2800 people for assassination with Reaper drones?
Where were they when Obama used Reapers to assassinate two American Citizens when they went to fight with ISIS?
Yet, they Grandstand when our president takes out who Patraeus, called a far more dangerous and impactful terrorist than both Bin Laden and Baghdadi.
F those two losers. I don’t normally express this level of disgust and disdain publicly but, that Lee POS has really pissed me off. What is it with Utah that they repeatedly send duplicitous _ssholes to Congress?
Another Moron.
Mike Lee also gets his instructions from the god of Kolob . . .
Lee is a rino. his lips are attached to mittens butt.
It’s long past time Mike Lee was primaried.
Why don’t you shut the Hell up Mike, you useless jerk.
$$$$$$$$$$$
Lee, R, Mumbai speaks
I swear, a true patriot would leak the wire transfer histories.
Mike Lee wears magic underwear.
or lack of it
Heard this cry-baby going off on FOX today. Sorry little snit. No appreciation for what Trump has been through especially with leakers and other back-stabbers.
RINO, pure and simple. “Hated the briefing, like the war” is Romney 101.
Lee and Romney are trying to position their church as non partisan so they get more investment (jobs) in Utah from Big Tech. That will give many of their coreligionists a foothold on the tech corporate ladder. It’s 100% about their church. Everything else is secondary.
Should be removed from all Committees ,he’s a Security risk
