Mike Lee removes "anchor babies" from website - will Tim Bridgewater follow suit?

Ethan Millard noticed that Mike Lee’s website has removed the term “anchor babies.”

I’ll be honest, I’m pleasantly surprised.

The term “anchor babies,” though offensive to some moderates and liberals, posed absolutely no threat to Lee at convention. None. As I noted earlier, if anything, he stood to gain from it’s use- especially if he were criticized for it.

It’s just a couple of words.

But Mike Lee deserves to be recognized for doing the right thing- especially when the right thing isn’t necessarily the politically expedient thing.

Candidates for high office don’t often behave like this.

Way to go Mike!

The next question is- will Tim Bridgewater also pull anchor babies from his website?
