Republican Sen. Mike Lee was caught fleeing from media questions about his inflammatory posts on the senseless murder of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman.

Over the weekend, the Utah senator posted a photo of Boelter in a latex mask, adding the caption, “This is what happens… When Marxists don’t get their way.” The backlash was swift, with many pointing at the copious amount of evidence that suggests Boelter was a conservative.

Now, a journalist for NBC News has shared a video of Lee running from questions about his post, including whether or not he regrets the tweet. Instead of answering, Lee and his staffers quickly walk away from the cameras, with one staffer attempting to cover the camera with his iPad.
