Utah Sen. Mike Lee and Independent senate candidate Evan McMullen fought over Lee's role in the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot during their only debate Monday night.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, weighs in on Roe v. Wade getting overturned and President Biden signing gun control bill into law.
When Lee was asked if President Joe Biden fairly won the election, Lee said,"Yes, Joe Biden is our president." McMullen rejected Lee’s answer right away, and called up reports from earlier in the year that showed"For you to talk about the importance of the Electoral College I think is rich," McMullen said.
US Independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin accused Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, of failing to fulfill his oath to the Constitution during the Jan. 6 riot. Lee said he was in communication with Trump’s staff and others because there were rumors that some states would switch out their electors."The rumors were false. On that basis I voted to certify the results of the election," Lee said.
"I disagree with everything my opponent just said, including the words ‘but,’ ‘and’ and ‘the.’ It was an information-free, truth-free statement," Lee said."There is absolutely nothing to the idea that I would have ever supported or ever did support a fake elector plot. Nothing. Not a scintilla of evidence suggesting that, and yet you continue to insist that with a cavalier, reckless disregard for the truth.
