Third-party conservative challenges Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee

Mike Lee is an asshole and it would be nice to see him challenged effectively




Former independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin is launching a campaign to challenge Republican Sen. Mike Lee in Utah.

McMullin is a former CIA agent and a congressional aide. He announced his third-party candidacy Tuesday in the conservative state where he made inroads with voters uncomfortable with then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016.

He’s challenging Lee, a two-term incumbent who won office during the tea party movement.
