Every time the white nationalist group Patriot Front laces up its khakis and marches through another city, Sen. Mike Lee shows up online with the same tired bit: they're feds, they're actually Democrats, it's all a hoax. He thinks it's clever or funny.

We also dig into Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson's pushback against the Trump administration after the DOJ sent her office a letter loaded with threats of criminal prosecution.
Plus, we discuss the theory that Ben McAdams winning his primary in Congressional District 1 might make lawmakers think twice about reviving the redistricting fight. It's wrong, and we'll tell you why.
