The Deseret News reports:
Utah Sen. Mike Lee will attend a high-priced fundraiser for his reelection campaign today at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, a day after defending Sen. Mitt Romney’s vote in the Senate impeachment trial.
The fundraising dinner at Mar-a-Lago hosted by prominent Republican donors costs $10,600. Lee campaign manager Matt Lusty said the event is being held at the Palm Beach, Florida resort because the hosts have ties to Trump there.
Also attending the dinner are controversial GOP House members Rep. Matt Gaetz, of Florida, and Rep. Lauren Boebert, of Colorado. Gaetz claimed Antifa infiltrated the violent mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol.
After @NikkiHaley dissed Trump in @politico, he snubbed her at Mar-a-Lago.
Now, after defending @MittRomney’s impeachment vote, @MikeLeeforUtah makes the MAL Hajj for a reelection fundraiser Saturday w/@mattgaetz & @laurenboebert
