'We need heroes for the Republic': Mike Lee blasts 'Uniparty' Republicans in Congress

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) slammed other Republicans in Congress for staying silent over Donald Trump's conviction that occurred on Thursday, saying that we "need heroes for the Republic." The case has been widely seen by conservatives as a case of lawfare and a politicized process against the 45th president ahead of the election.  

"I’d be willing to bet that the Republicans in Congress who haven’t expressed outrage over the Trump trial and verdict are the same ones who have:," Lee posted, and then listed off several points, such as those who have "voted consistently for spending bills that helped put our country into debt to the tune of $35 trillion," "never found a war that they didn’t want [the US] involved in," "always voted for debt-ceiling increases without meaningful reforms attached," "voted for the continuation of the unconstitutional spying of American citizens through FISA," as well as "capitulated on border security even though they are well aware of the national security concerns of most agencies regarding who and what is being allowed into our country."  

He added that the country is in "desperate need of leaders willing to fight for the long-term health and security" of the United States.   

The Utah senator has been a consistent constitutional conservative voice in the Republican Party and has opposed measures such as FISA, open borders, and has worked on his and GOP Kentucky Senator Rand Paul's long-standing REINS Act that would curb the ability for continuing resolutions to fund the government in Congress.  
 
"We need leaders who understand that progressives are waging a battle against our way of life and will stop at nothing to accomplish that. We need those leaders now—not later," Lee added in his post. He then concluded, "We need leaders with the courage to fight for the American people and against The Uniparty. We need heroes for the Republic. This situation is too dire for us to settle for anything else."
