Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is getting lit up on social media after falling for a resignation letter from Fed Chair Jerome Powell which seemed to be a very clear fake. The post ‘Mike Lee Is an Idiot!’ GOP Senator Brutally Roasted After Falling for Phony Powell Resignation Letter first appeared on Mediaite.
