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.

He makes Mitt the twit look smart.
This Mike Lee is turning out to be one of the biggest douchebags ever!!!
Even dead, Bennett would do a better job than Glenn Beck’s buddy Mike Lee.
An open borders cult idiot to be exact
any flights to pedo island by him?
Huh?
My husband & I & extended family are big Pres Trump champions! Lee & Romney are huge embarrassments to us. Lee just is all over the place & Romney is despicable.
More people are seeing Romney for what he is, a carpetbagger & louse. Lee seem to be mental. Most LDS people here in Utah support the POTUS. However I do believe the Republican leadership here in Utah side with the LDS Church on issues (illegals) that I don't understand or agree. I believe they are sorely misguided.
The tech industry is bringing in more lefties from CA & the East coast who are not LDS. They are heavily democrats & this state is turning blue. Just like Seattle & Portland did when the Ca people invaded those states.
Mr Globalist is a complete fool. He thinks he’s commander in chief. He’s a libertarian not a conservative. The constitution is not a libertarian document. It is why he must never be on the Supreme Court
He’s been hanging around Mitt Romney too long. Something wrong in Utah. Evil Pierre Delecto and idiot Mike Lee for Senators.
Seems to me Utah has something in the water or air supply. Lee, Romney....whose next?
Is there anything more useless on this planet than a United States Senator? A CIA backed coup rages in the executive branch of a GOP POTUS and GOP Senator Lee couldn’t care less. But look out if he gets a briefing he considers sub standard.

Not a peep outta lee on the briefings the senate got from comey, clapper or jihadi john
He has never liked Trump and perhaps trying to stifle the attention and success of the past 2 weeks with Iran. Who knows.. but he does not like Trump.. never has.. and even though there was a time when he tried to like him... and I guess that soured... poor Mike... go home Mike.. just go home.
The thing we have to realize this every single day of every new cycle is managed by the globalist forces. of course they always have the Democrats but they also have their select Republicans like Romney and Lee.. when Trump appears to have won the day and has momentum they are called up to take their shots and give the baby up attempts to show that all sides are disappointed with Trump

Has anyone asked her lately about her position on female genital mutilation?
That question derails her in the most hilarious ways...

That’s the bottom line. Lee does not respect POTUS and the 60 million Americans who voted for him. You see, he knows better. So he’s free to undermine a POTUS of his own party and the agenda he was elected to support at his leisure.
I understand that there is a lot of sand in the Middle East...
There have been rumors online that she’s rather oversexed.

Apparently he wants to prove he is an independent thinker as Republicans are apt to do...Democrats stick together on issues that are important to their Party...Republicans are too smart for that...
If Iran sees there is dissension and no cohesion in the Republican ranks, Trump will have his hands tied when it comes to persuading Iran to do what it needs to do...
What a couple of losers...
Ah the traitor Mike Lee complaining about not being informed.
Something to distract from his lips on Google *ss and his love of hiring only Indian tech workers.
