Gehrke: Lee should lead in defending the Mueller investigation, not be among the most visible critics

We’re into the Holidays and, in the Spirit of the Season, I’m trying to be more positive. So let’s give some praise to Sen. Mike Lee.

Lee is crossing the party divide to co-sponsor legislation with Sen. Bernie Sanders — yeah, THAT Bernie Sanders — that would seek to end the U.S. support for the Saudi Arabian war against Yemen.

It is the worst humanitarian disaster on the planet, with famine caused by the war killing 85,000 children and leaving millions of more Yemenis near starvation.

On Wednesday, the Senate voted 63-37 to move the bill forward to a vote.
