Mike Lee: God Punished Burning Man For Promiscuity

The Messenger reports:

People who were stuck at the Burning Man festival this past weekend had a pretty terrible time, thanks to the inclement weather, and Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee has an interesting theory about why — but it’s got nothing to do with climate change. In a post to his personal page on X, formally Twitter, Lee shared a tabloid article about the more erogenous elements of the debauched annual festival, including mutual masturbation sessions and orgasm workshops.

Read the full article. Note that Lee’s tweets below were posted to his “Based Mike Lee” account. Based, you may know, is a far-right term meaning “to be unconcerned about the feelings of others.” Lee is a Mormon and before entering politics he served a two year mission attempting to convert Latino Texans to Mormonism. As I’ve said here many times, Lee is arguably the most viciously anti-LGBTQ member of the Senate – and that’s saying something.

This isn’t healthy. God’s judgment is real.https://t.co/BFbnsVaEld

I wonder how many people have had a “road to Damascus” moment at the conclusion of Burning Man. https://t.co/j3Pm593f8i
