Special Session with Bryan Schott

Take away Mike Lee’s phone!

It was a bad week on social media for a couple of Utah's congressional Republicans. 

  • Rep. Burgess Owens reposted an anti-Muslim video on social media that came from an account that frequently posts White supremacist content.
  • Sen. Mike Lee was fooled AGAIN by a fake letter on social media that was clearly generated by AI. Lee likes to criticize the media for inaccuracies, but he should really work on his media literacy skills before condemning others.

    • Sen. Lee joined with Senate Republicans on Thursday to block a Democratic-led effort to pressure the Trump administration to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

    Rep. Celeste Maloy backed a GOP-led push to put First Lady Melania Trump's name on the Kennedy Center opera house, using federal funds as leverage.

    Utah's population growth is on track to give the Beehive State another seat in Congress after the 2030 Census.
