Despite bipartisan reputation, Rep. Blake Moore supports Sen. Mike Lee

SALT LAKE CITY – U.S. Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT) has added his voice to a rising chorus of Republicans who are supporting Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) over independent challenger Evan McMullin.

“I look forward to casting my vote for Sen. Lee in his re-election campaign,” Moore said Sept. 28.

“Here in Utah,” he added, “we know what’s at stake. Out-of-control spending and crippling regulations are hurting Utah families.

“We need to return to a pre-2020 American government that puts people ahead of bureaucratic red tape. We need to get our country back on track.”

Lee has racked up numerous endorsements in recent days.

On Sept. 15, The Deseret News published an op-ed in which Utah congressmen Chris Stewart, John Curtis and Burgess Owens endorsed Lee and defended Utah’s senior senator from McMullin’s campaign rhetoric.

They acknowledged that their statements were predictable coming from Utah congressmen, but reminded readers that Utah’s ongoing Senate race matters a lot.

“This is not only a time of unprecedented disinformation, misinformation and political tension,” they wrote. “It is also a time when a single vote in the U.S. Senate can alter the very direction of our country.”

Days later, the Lee campaign announced that they had secured the backing of 48 of Lee’s GOP colleagues in the Senate. As expected, the name of Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) was the only one absent from that list.

Finally, the Lee campaign secured the all-important endorsement of former vice president Mike Pence on Tuesday.

In his first term in Congress, Moore has acquired a well-deserved reputation for reaching across the political aisle to secure Democratic support for a number of proposals, some of which were eventually enacted. In this all-important race for the heart and soul of America, however, Moore is happy to display his conservative credentials.

Moore explained that he and Lee joined forces after the 2020 election to raise support for GOP candidates in the run-off elections for the Senate in Georgia.

Too many Republican stayed home that day and our candidates lost,” he recalled. “It was a devastating outcome that tipped control of the U.S. Senate to Democrats.

“Under Democratic leadership, the Senate has passed a series of expensive, ultra-progressive economic priorities that have contributed to inflation and workforce shortages; deepened our national debt; and set us up for sustained Gross Domestic Product declines.”

Moore is now supporting a diverse group of Republican candidates across the country in the hope of ensuring that the GOP regains control of the House and Senate.

“At a time when we need responsible fiscal leadership more than ever,” Moore said, “Lee has proven himself to be a consistent voice. Together, we are committed to fighting the federal government’s addiction to spending.

“Please join me in supporting his re-election effort so that we can combat inflation and make life more affordable for Utah families.”

      Or maybe you just need to reevaluate your position. Maybe question what the mainstream media has tried pounding into our heads for the last decade; I did and I am so grateful that I know the truth even if my comments are met with ridicule and derision. Maybe you, Jim Jones, are amongst the millions of others who are being, and have been misled. Could that be a possibility? The mainstream media is very skilled in executing propaganda… perhaps you have been caught up by their snare? I was. Until about ten years ago I believed similarly to what most people seem to think is truth; it wasn’t until I had the opportunity to hear and see what the media goes to great lengths to hide that I asked myself that very question. Then I began researching what the powers that be don’t want us to know, and I’ve never been happier. Just a thought… what have you got to lose?

        No, I generally believe that the news is pushing their own agenda. There is a great site called mediabias.org, not perfect but open source. Trump was whining that the election was going to be stolen from him nine months before the election. Try reading primary sources and make your decision from there.

        I don’t believe in the concept of truth, only the individual perception of truth. There can be more than one truth. Such as did Lincoln free the slaves?

          Primary sources are the only thing I read, which is why I know for certain that all of the things I have written about did indeed happen. I read the actual documents from the WEF, from the courts, Congress, from the shady deals made behind closed doors about the censorship of the 2020 election results, who funded the censorship, etc, etc, etc. I don’t rely on mediabias.org or any other “fact checker” website to tell me what is truth, I actually go and find the original sources and read them myself. Who funds mediabias.org? George Soros? Bill Gates? Follow the money from these supposed philanthropic foundations, and see who the people are who sit in the shadows and pump money into the so called fact checkers.

            You know the courts would be very interested in seeing your behind closed doors slimy evidence. I would love to see any evidence. That the election was rigged, actual evidence. I have only seen of few charges of voter fraud nation wide. Then there is the case in Colorado that is currently going, but that is against republican operatives. In over 50 lost court cases, there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

      Yeah, because he said the election was stolen.

        The democrats were just as wrong in 2016. Just like Abraham’s lost in Georgia. Trump lost the 2020 election. Of all the people I know who voted for him in 2016, only 2 voted for him in 2020. Mike Lee pushed Susan Powell on Mark Meadows. He vetted her and her crazy accusations by pushing her on the White house. I would vote for Alex Jones before I would Mike Lee again.

    As a member of a Utah family, I’m curious what these “crippling regulations” are that are hurting us? Was it when they continued Trump’s COVID-19 stimulus packages, including business payroll loans? Was it when they expanded the Child Tax Credit? Was it when they reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act or when they made lynching a federal crime? Tell me so I can be suitably outraged.

    Well Brandon’s inflation is sure crippling many families, there is that Jen. Are you good with his daddy daughter showering escapades? Or all the other evidence of his pedophelia?

    Mike Lee is nothing more than a mouth piece for the better people in society.
