General Discussion

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) pointedly blamed Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for the downfall of Spirit Airlines while likening her in a disturbing social media post to the slaughter of O.J. Simpson’s second wife, Nicole Brown.

“Nailed it,” Lee posted online Monday with a meme that labeled Simpson as Warren and Brown as Spirit Airlines. In 1994, Brown was found brutally stabbed to death outside of the Los Angeles home she shared with her two children.

The image was shared by Lee about an hour after he accused Warren in a separate post of having “destroyed” Spirit Airlines because she voiced support against the company merging with JetBlue two years ago.

Lee seemingly has a penchant for comparing outside events to the OJ Simpson murder trial. He referenced it last month while reacting to the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, and while reacting to “climate alarmism” in 2025, and also while musing about the 2023 Chinese spy balloon incident.
