Lee Responds To Video Of Airplane Passengers Shouting At Romney

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Sen. Mike Lee on Wednesday took to Twitter in response to videos of passengers harassing Sen. Mitt Romney before and during a flight from Salt Lake City to Washington, D.C.
“No matter our political differences let’s all treat each other with respect and decency,” Lee wrote. “Harassing your political opponents on a plane is not acceptable. Harassing your political opponents at their home is not acceptable. We as a country need to be better than this.”
