The problem isn’t just that the Utah senator amplified obvious misinformation. The bigger problem is that Mike Lee keeps amplifying misinformation.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) deleted a social media post on Tuesday featuring a fake resignation letter supposedly written and signed by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Lee initially celebrated Powell’s alleged departure from the central bank before quickly deleting the post.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is getting lit up on social media after falling for a resignation letter from Fed Chair Jerome Powell which seemed to be a very clear fake.

The Trump administration is sending mixed messages about whether Fed Chair Jerome Powell should stay with the central bank until the end of his term.

The Jimmy Carter hoax was even more ridiculous than the Powell resignation hoax, with the Carter letter referring to former First Lady Nancy Reagan by the sexually crude term, “throat goat.” It also referred to Rosalynn Carter as “the original Brat.” President Carter really did die many months later on Dec. 29, 2024.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) posted and then deleted a tweet celebrating the supposed resignation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday. The post Senator Mike Lee Deletes Tweet Celebrating Fake Resignation Letter From Trump Nemesis Jerome Powell first appeared on Mediaite.
