Critics Rip ‘Moron’ MAGA Senator After Truly Unhinged Suggestion For Trump

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is getting cooked on social media after making a bizarre suggestion for where President Donald Trump could take Chinese President Xi Jinping during his trip to the United States.

The odd moment came during an interview with Fox Business host Larry Kudlow, who asked Lee if Trump was being “too nice” to Xi.

Lee instead praised Trump as a “consummate host.”

Then, he offered up a very unusual idea for the host.

“I won’t be a bit surprised if he decides at one point to say, ‘You know, President Xi, let’s go visit Panda Express and see what you think of their broccoli beef,’” Lee said. “I’d love to see that happen. That’s the kind of thing President Trump likes to do. He likes to figure out what people are interested in and make sure he shows them a good time while they’re visiting.”

Lee is known for making outrageous claims and comments, include jokes on social media about last year’s deadly shootings of Democratic political figures in Minnesota.

But taking the leader of China to a chain known for being a staple of mall food courts?

Even by Lee’s typical standards, critics found that idea more sour than sweet:

It’s already pretty obvious what Xi thinks of the Orange Chicken here https://t.co/hTqvKHVQdJ

Utah should be expelled from the union for sending this moron to the Senate. https://t.co/UQSYyL1ipK

I won’t be a bit surprised either.

Why not take Giorgia Meloni to Olive Garden, too, if we’re doing a cringe tour of America. https://t.co/7MaZlbSrXa
