In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Sen. Mike Lee opened up about a closed-door meeting he recently had with the Republican Senate colleagues in which both he and Sen. Ted Cruz were "attacked." Lee said that the terms used by his fellow Republicans to attack the two Senators were "demeaning." He asked why, given that the details of the meeting were leaked to the press, that his GOP colleagues did not reveal their identities.
However, Lee disclosed, the facts of that meeting was already revealed to the press. "It was an all-out attack against Ted Cruz and me," Lee disclosed. "It was unflattering. It was unfair. It was demeaning."
Lee refused to disclose which Republicans rose to attack him in that closed door meeting, but said that it was enough so that he "lost count." He added that he was not clear why the Republicans who attacked him and Cruz did not reveal their identities.
"Did anyone rise to your defense?" Hewitt asked.
"Sort of," Lee replied. "Not really."
Hewitt revealed that the GOP base is happy with Lee and Cruz's actions. Lee agreed, but noted that the "Establishment" is not thrilled with them.
