Gehrke: Romney and Lee had vastly different reactions to the Mueller report and only one of them referenced Shrek

Those are pretty diverse takeaways by Utah’s Republican senators who presumably read the same report by special counsel Robert Mueller last week.

Where Romney issued the most scathing condemnation of President Donald Trump from a Republican, saying he was “sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty by individuals in the highest office in the land including the president,” Lee dismissed the report as old news.

While Romney is “appalled that fellow citizens working in a campaign for president welcomed help from Russia, including information that had been illegally obtained,” Lee is indifferent.

Lee is making the television talk show rounds, promoting his new book — “Our Lost Declaration: America's Fight Against Tyranny from King George to the Deep State” — but at every stop he is spending a lot of time talking about the Mueller report.
