3/ Also from July, 2021, Maragani says he wants elected officials who will "impeach" the chief justice of the Utah Supreme Court because he issued a mask mandate during the COVID pandemic.
"If he's issuing mask mandates, he won't rule conservatively on other issues" #utpol

"It's making sure that our election results reflect what voters actually want (whether it's a Democrat or Republican) versus what the people in power want" #utpol
5/ On Aug. 3, 2021, Maragani calls the Democrat Party "the enemy" and claims Republicans in the U.S. Senate are feckless #utpol

On Aug. 3, 2021, he calls Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh a "wimp" for letting the COVID-related eviction moratorium continue #utpol
7/ In this post from Aug. 3, 2021, Maragani calls a doctor warning about COVID a "clown" and a "Marxist trying to impose masks on kids which is part of their program to indoctrinate children with all their garbage" #utpol

11/ In this longer post from Aug. 13, 2021, Maragani complains about federal employees abuse the rights of "normal Americans every time a Democrat comes into office."
"You're seeing that in action with the 1/6 protesters" #utpol
12/ During the U.S. military evacuation from Afghanistan, Maragani complained Afghan refugees would be brought to Utah to "turn our area into the next Minneapolis" #utpol

"Those don't look like refugees. They look like deserters unwilling to fight for their own country" #utpol
14/ In response to the story about a Lehi High School teacher caught on tape telling students promoting vaccinations and that she hated Donald Trump, Maragani said teachers are "part of the problem."
18/ Maragani continued his hostility toward resettling Afghani refugees, accusing religious organizations of "human trafficking" because they get money from the federal government #utpol
Lawmakers delayed action for a year to ban Chinese-funded Confucius Institutes at state universities. The programs have been described as propaganda instruments #utpol#utleg

One China expert said Utah lawmakers are "acting as mouthpieces" for the CCP #utpol#utleg
🚨 1/ New transcripts from the House Jan. 6 committee show the day the 2020 election was called for Joe Biden, Sen. Mike Lee was speaking with campaign lawyer Cleta Mitchell about how to reverse Trump's loss.
She said the alternate elector scheme was "Mike Lee's idea" #utpol
2/ The transcript clearly demonstrates Lee would have joined the objection to certifying Biden's win if states had sent competing slates of electors to Congress on Jan. 6.
1/ Caroline Wren, an organizer of the "Stop the Steal" rally that led to the attack on the Capitol on January 6, said she lobbied Utah A.G. Sean Reyes to sign on to the Texas lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results in several states #utpol
2/ The lawsuit aimed to throw out the election results in four states won by Joe Biden.
3/ Wren, a top Trump fundraiser, said in her testimony to the Jan. 6 committee that she helped raise money for the Republican Attorney Generals Association (RAGA).
That group sent out robocalls on Jan. 5 urging people to march to the Capitol #utpol
The @January6thCmte report gives new details about the role Sen. Mike Lee played in the scheme to have states appoint alternate electors to help overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss #utpol
Newly public text messages show Lee was in contact with senior Trump legal adviser Cleta Mitchell, who advised Donald Trump during the infamous phone call where he pressured Georgia election officials to "find" 11,780 votes.
