Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) was outraged at people who were mocking Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) after he fell while walking in a Senate building, posting a tweet scolding “no decent person…should mock an 83-year-old’s fall” — but he himself is guilty of a similar offense.
McConnell took a tumble this week while walking through the Senate Russell Building basement, the moment caught on video by activists who were trying to ask him questions about ICE raids.
After the video drew ridicule — including from the right — McConnell’s former chief of staff Josh Holmes tweeted a long thread defending his former boss’ legacy.
Lee shared Holmes’ tweets and added his own comment.
“No decent person—any certainly no conservative person—should mock an 83-year-old’s fall,” wrote Lee. “That was heartbreaking, and the thought of anyone finding it amusing is hard to fathom.”
As other social media users were quick to point out, however, Lee took a far different tone in July when he tweeted a photo of former President Joe Biden tripping on the stairs to Air Force One.
Lee has a history of edgy and controversial social media posts in recent years, especially with his “@BasedMikeLee” account.
In June, he was loudly criticized for several tweets he posted that were viewed as heartlessly mocking the targeted shootings of two Democratic Minnesota legislators and their spouses, and baselessly blamed the shootings on the left. He later deleted the tweets.
