MORE: Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has deleted a series of depraved tweets he posted after a gunman sought out and assassinated a Minnesota Democratic legislator and her husband over the weekend.
But Lee left some other disturbing posts up.

Lee told he deleted his cruel posts, three days later, after talking to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) earlier today.
“It was important to her that I take it down,” Lee told Matt. “We’re good friends. I took it down.”
So, that's why U.S. senator Mike Lee deleted his post saying this after the Minnesota assassinations:
"This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way."
Other things Lee tweeted in response to the MN shootings and deleted today:
“Nightmare on Waltz Street,” an apparent and misspelled reference to Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.
Marxism is a “deadly mental illness."
But Lee didn’t delete a handful of other inflammatory messages that either implicitly or explicitly reference the MN shooting.
“Fact check: TRUE,” Lee posted Monday, in response to an Elon Musk tweet falsely claiming, “The far left is murderously violent.”
Still up.
“Marxism kills,” Lee said in another Monday tweet, in response to someone falsely claiming “the left … kills a MN state rep and her husband and injures a Senator and his wife.”
Still up.
On Saturday, the same day the MN Democratic lawmaker and her husband were assassinated at home, Lee had this to say in response to someone posting about the FBI reviewing the gunman’s cellphone records:
“My guess: He’s not MAGA.”
Still up.
I asked Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) about her convo w/ Lee last night, as she pulled him out of a GOP meeting to tell him how hurtful his posts were.
Beyond the horror of the situation, Smith was also friends with Hortman.
Lee was “sort of shocked” to be talking to her, she said.
“The point here is that there are consequences to the things that you do in the social media world, as a U.S. senator, and he has a big megaphone,” Smith told me.
“He’s choosing to use it to spread misinformation and to hurt people.”
Did Lee at least apologize to Smith after they spoke?
"Not really.”
I asked Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) about Lee's inflammatory tweets and he flipped out.
He angrily avoided answering the question 4, maybe 5 times.
Instead, he attacked Democrats, the media and then tried to change the subject to talk about someone in North Carolina. 
Me, on the 5th try: It sounds like you just don't want to answer the question.
Moreno: “I answered the question for you!"
No senator, you did not! 
Instead of deleting them, he should issue an apology to the family. Deleting them is cowardly bullshit.

He needs to make a formal apology. Any decent person would have done so already.
good he deleted, and we’ll always have this to remind us of his keyboard cowboy to IRL coward reality
He already said it and left it out in the universe. He also didn’t apologize. It means nothing
Good start but he needes to publicly apologize and resign....... has lost the plot......

Well it’s about 3 days too f’n late. The whole world has the screenshots and his church should be ashamed. They said NOTHING about the victims or his pathetic take.
Can’t unring that bell; a silent delete means nothing. His followers have been conditioned to be adverse to fact-checking.
Guess he decided to take the call for toning down violent, decisive rhetoric seriously. How are the Democrats doing on that front?

Sadly, shame had nothing to do with it.
It was just the political blowback.
The scary part is what these people’s true agendas are. They always cover up the stuff we find out about to hide the real dirty laundry from coming out
He should resign in disgrace. He was literally joking about Walz staff, murdering political opposition and their families like FREDDY KRUEGER. He is literally fantasizing about their deaths meanwhile one of them leapt in front of their daughter to take the bullet from her.
Why are people aggressively trying to cover up the Walz connection to the killer?

Stfu. We all know she was killed for voting with Republicans to stop funding illegals
A good man would never make those posts in the first place
A wise man would release a public statement recognizing his actions and the impact they had
A coward runs from questions, covers up their tracks, and tries to pretend like it never happened
is a coward
It's good that he deleted the tweets, but he must resign for ever having posted then in the first place.
Resign

I couldn't care any less what Mike Lee does, apology or not. He chose to debase himself to being a social media troll, and I've written him off a while ago as an unserious, very online clown. He can suit himself, as his actions reflect poorly on him.
Too little, too late. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.
But on the internet, they never disappear.
Where's your apology, Senator Lee?

Doesn’t change the fact that he made those tweets and showed everyone who he truly is as a person

But its effect cannot be undone.
Best could require us a public apology. Or at least a 7 day suspension from Twitter.
But, neither happens in infowar active measures.
FINALLY!
Glad everyone kept up the pressure.
Now he must APOLOGIZE.
Quite frankly he should be impeached for this!
If Congress can't find their spine to remove him, he needs to be censured.
No excuse or room for such behaviour or rhetoric in Congress, or any political office!!
Maybe he saw the video I shared with him which he watched as a youth growing up Mormon.
How about remove him from office? Who wants someone with those morals representing them??
But everyone has screen-shotted them so when he tries to deny them or say “it wasn’t me” somehow, only MAGA cult folks will believe him

On Father’s Day, Mike Lee mocked a political shooting that left two children orphaned.
State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband John were gunned down.
Nov 7, 2028, Utah will replace him.
Retweet if you’ve had enough.

That's step one of a three-step program:
1. Take down the horrific tweets.
2. Apologize like he actually understands what he did wrong and is truly sorry for it.
3. Resign, because nothing else will be enough.
It's not an apology. But at least we know he hears what people think about him as a human.
Deleting texts is an admission of inappropriate conduct, but it is far from the apology decency requires him to proffer.
Catturd issued a takedown notice because Mike Cartturd, I mean Mike Lee, stepped into his little box.
Catturd: stay in yours, Senator.
