Letter: What if it were Obama?
(Rick Egan | Tribune file photo) Sen. Mike Lee speaks to Republican supporters during a news conference with second lady Karen Pence at the Utah Sate Capitol, Friday, Nov. 15, 2019.As I watch the unfolding of the impeachment inquiry concerning President Donald Trump and surrounding events, it is clear that two of Utah’s congressional delegation, Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Chris Stewart, are among the president’s most ardent defenders and critics of the process.
I can’t help but wonder how different their behavior would be if absolutely every detail were exactly the same except that the president in question was a Democrat, perhaps Barack Obama.
