Letter: Lee’s town hall “skirt” was very revealing

On Aug. 23, Republican Sen. Mike Lee held a town hall meeting in Lehi. Many citizens attended, and the Q&A component was lively. Attendees had questions for him about the Afghan Adjustment Act, border control and concerns about his support for indicted sexual predator and twice impeached Donald J. Trump. One brave man (unknown to me) — a military veteran, retired professor, businessman and Utah resident of nearly 80 years — asked this question:

“In October 2020 you stated your allegiance and respect for Donald Trump by comparing him to one of your heroes in the Book of Mormon, Alma 43-56. Captain Moroni, you stated, was like Donald Trump — a great leader worthy of being our president. Are you prepared today to defend your allegiance to Donald Trump, and want him to be our next president? If so, how can you defend his dishonest, obscene, and criminal actions during his entire adult life? If not, why have you not denounced him publicly? Why have you not voted for his removal from office? How can you reasonably give your respect and allegiance to a man without any honorable regard for moral ideas or use of his power?”

Lee’s response — a complete dodging of the question — began with an attempt to cast aspersions on President Joe Biden.

There were immediately cries from the audience to “Answer the question!”

How did he skirt the issue this time? His reply was: “I want Donald Trump to be president. I hope he becomes president in 2024. I support him 100%.”

His “skirt” was very revealing!

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. sets the tone for Washington Huskies’ run to the college football title game

New Orleans • The Sugar Bowl was a little more than 24 hours away, and sixth-year Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. called a players-only meeting as their moment drew near. He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready. No one was more ready than Penix himself, who connect
