Senator Mike Lee marked Constitution Day on September 17, 2025, with a series of posts on his X (formerly Twitter) account. The Utah Republican referenced the significance of the U.S. Constitution, commented on gun violence, and announced new legislation.
On September 17, Lee posted: “Happy Constitution Day! https://t.co/2SSk2NFcOy”. Later that day, he addressed former President Barack Obama in a separate tweet: “The extremists are the ones doing the shooting, not the people being shot at, @BarackObama. https://t.co/U2TMn7zYJV”.
On September 18, Lee introduced new legislation named after conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. He wrote: “I have introduced the Charlie Kirk Act, which will ban taxpayer-funded government propaganda from being targeted at Americans. https://t.co/ZeigzEoR2W”.
Constitution Day is observed annually on September 17 to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 and serves as an occasion for lawmakers and citizens to reflect on constitutional principles. Senator Lee has previously advocated for limited government and increased transparency in federal communications. His proposed “Charlie Kirk Act” would prohibit government agencies from using taxpayer resources to disseminate propaganda within the United States.
