- For the second time in one month, Sen. Mike Lee has fallen for an online hoax.
- The Utah senator posted a fake letter announcing Jimmy Carter's death.
- The letter quoted Carter as calling his wife a "baddie" and the "original Brat."
Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, a long-serving Republican who was once floated as a potential Supreme Court justice by former President Donald Trump, fell for an obvious online hoax on Tuesday.
On X, Lee posted an image of a fake letter purporting to be from the Office of Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, announcing the ex-president's death.
One look at the letter's contents, however, would have immediately indicated that it was fake.
