Before the Diapered Don pulled him into the MAGA cult, Utah’s Republican Senator was just an average boneheaded conservative pol, respected in some corners as an astute constitutional scholar and a razor sharp lawyer. But allegiance to Trump and his base voters has transformed MAGA Mike into as big a clown as his fellow Ivy Leaguer and Senator Ted Cruz. Sometimes it seems as if he and Cruz are in a competition to determine which of the two of them can post the most ridiculous Trump fluffing conspiracy theories to their Twitter account on any given day.
Well, today is Mike’s day.
Earlier a rather nondescript MAGA type on Twitter isolated some video from House Speaker Mike Johnson’s recently released January 6, 2021 drop and concluded that what he sees in the following is a Fed dressed in MAGA finery flashing his badge to exit the Capitol after a hard day of pretending to be a MAGA rioter.
The thing is there is no need to present a badge or anything else when you are exiting the Capitol, the “badge” in question is really a vape and the man in the video is clearly the same guy who has just been sentenced to 4 years in the big house for entering the Capitol and stealing a cherished photo belonging to Speaker Pelosi with John Lewis and a $150 dollars from one of her staffers who had left his coat and wallet in her office.
This guy here:
That, ladies and gentlemen, is Kevin Lyons who is currently serving 4 years in prison for stealing a photo from Nancy Pelosi’s office. Not. A. Fed. https://t.co/r3B7sbMyKo

Who is clearly the same guy flashing his vape here in The Gateway Pundit’s conspiracy tweet which was quickly corrected by Twitter and was probably where Mike Lee read all about it:
BREAKING J6 VIDEO: Undercover Officer Disguised as Trump Supporter Flashes Badge to Cops As He Enters US Capitol on Jan. 6 via @gatewaypundit https://t.co/SX7Y3WeRWo

Mike couldn’t wait to spread this disinformation.
I can’t wait to ask FBI Director Christopher Wray about this at our next oversight hearing.
I predict that, as always, his answers will be 97% information-free. https://t.co/m3rRE4Byfu

And Twitterers couldn’t wait to respond:
Here you go https://t.co/KdJuw3AAD4

Yup
It's a fucking vape. You post such vapid shit because you believe your followers and constituents are dumb as rocks, and you know you won't be insulting their intelligence.

Exactly.
Wherever there's disinformation, there's always Mike Lee amplifying it.

Putin’s own little bot.
I predict that you will delete this embarrassing tweet without notice or apology, Senator, after a staffer or concerned colleague tells you this man is holding a vape. https://t.co/3cqlVETio5

🤣🤣🤣
I don't vape but as soon as I saw the image, thought of this advertisement that I've seen
If you were serious, you would have your staff earn their pay and check out the details before spreading wild dangerous nonsense to provide cover for criminals pic.twitter.com/KZgf6Uuqcw

But he won’t.
This is just the first small example of what MAGA idiots will do with the newly released Jan. 6th material.
Thank God only their fellow cultists will believe this made up crap.
Mike…I thought all you morons in Utah were out looking for those golden plates that are the bedrock of the Mormon’s ‘faith’. Jim Jones also had ‘faith’ and it ended badly on their way to see ‘Jesus’. Maybe you can do the world a phucking favor and make yourself a cocktail. By the way, given your mental acuity, I was wondering…who helps you get dressed, go to the potty, and tie your shoelaces? Clearly you’re too stupid to be independent.
I said yesterday that this would be exactly what they’d do and I’m glad the pushback has been so awesome.
Refucklicans are going to keep spinning J6 and trying to gaslight. I don’t know about anyone else – I watched it all on t.v. in real time. I saw the bear spray. I saw the flag pole and more being used to pummel the capitol police. Mofo’s I watched it. It’s something that becomes seared in one’s brain. No shame – no integrity – no dignity – lots of b.s. though in the Refucklicans.
this is their way of returning to the scene of the crime and
loitering like escaped convicts trying to find that money they
stashed after the big heist.
It Ain’t Me Babe
– Bob Dylan
“Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I’m not the one you want, babe
I’m not the one you need
You say you’re lookin’ for someone
Who’s never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain’t me, babe
No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I’m not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say you’re lookin’ for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain’t me, babe
No, no, no, it ain’t me babe
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe
Go melt back in the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There’s nothing in here moving
And anyway I’m not alone
You say you’re looking for someone
Who’ll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it ain’t me, babe
No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe”
Thanks for the ear worm, Timmah. Actually, this is a lot better song than many to be stuck in your head all day.
There were several good covers of “It Ain’t Me Babe”. The version stuck in my head was by the Turtles. I think it more airplay than the original.
Dylan a true American prophet. You can start with Blowing In The Wind…how many roads musta man walk down before you call him a man? How many cannonballs must fly before they’re forever banned? The answer is blowing in the wind.
Now we’re stuck in the song ‘Idiot Wind’.
Lee can’t wait to bring this to Wray’s attention. I can’t wait to see how Wray cleans the floor with Lee.
You know, these meetings are tuned to trap Democrats in the room into their chairs while they take the time to throw their stones at real workers from Trump’s favorite targets …
I hope our heroes in the meeting, bring their own posters, video and documents to the next meeting, calling Lee a freaking dumb ass and other memes to his face, with applause from the Democrats in general …
a key tactic with these lying liars is
to put out anything that will then be read
by their magananas who wil then spread it
around big time so that it then appears to be fact.
that’s what it is. every single time.
