Mike Lee treats DC like Utah Republicans treat SLC. In both cases, the voters of each city didn't vote for you and don't appreciate your oversight. That's not to say either is without their own issues. Stay in your damn lane. www.ksl.com/article/5129...

Just so you’re aware, if you wear glasses, that’s a mobility aid and you’re disabled. Glasses are just so normalized that most people don’t see it as such. Imagine if most mobility aids were that way. Imagine how much more respect disabled people would get. It’s completely possible.
