Lee shared Holmes' tweets and added his own comment."
"Lee has a history of edgy and controversial social media posts in recent years, especially with his @BasedMikeLee account. In June, he was loudly criticized for several tweets he posted that were viewed as heartlessly mocking the targeted shootings of two Democratic Minnesota legislators and their spouses, and baselessly blamed the shootings on the left. He later deleted the tweets."

The video drew ridicule from multiple audiences, including conservative commentators. McConnell's former chief of staff Josh Holmes posted a lengthy thread defending McConnell's legacy. Sen. Mike Lee shared Holmes' tweets and wrote that no decent person, especially no conservative, should mock an 83-year-old's fall, calling it heartbreaking and unfathomable that anyone would find it amusing.
