MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell condemned the staff of GOP Sen. Mike Lee for sticking with him after the Utah lawmaker tried to justify the alleged Minnesota gunman’s attack on Democratic lawmakers. Days after Lee shared two X posts making light of the shooting—one that said alleged shooter Vance Boelter’s killing of state Rep.

The Utah senator has deleted comments made after a far-right gunman killed one Minnesota lawmaker and wounded another. But he hasn’t apologized.

Mike Lee (R-UT) was among the worst culprits of trying to muddy the waters around the weekend assassination spree of Vance Luther Boelter in Minnesota – and Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) was having none of it.

Police arrested Vance Boelter, 57, late Sunday on suspicion of dressing up like a police officer and fatally shooting state Rep. Melissa Hortman, 55, and her husband Mark, 58, early Saturday at their home in Brooklyn Park. He is also accused of shooting Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife on Saturday.

Mike Lee refused to answer questions about his controversial X posts making light of the targeted shooting of lawmakers and their spouses in Minnesota. The post WATCH: Mike Lee Goes Stone Cold Silent,
