Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) defended the rock band U2 after it was mocked by satire publication The Babylon Bee on Monday.
The Bee, a comedic and satire online platform catering mostly to conservatives, posted a headline Monday morning that read "Study Finds No One Ever Actually Liked U2 It's Just That Everyone Thought Everyone Else Did And No One Wanted To Speak Up And Make It Awkward."
"The groundbreaking research indicates that humanity could have been saved from 'With or Without You,' 'Beautiful Day,' and 'Angel of Harlem,' if people just had the courage to stand up and say they don't like U2," the Bee's story read.
Lee, a conservative senator with a frequent social media presence, pushed back on the Bee's jokes.
"This is a rare L for [The Babylon Bee]," Lee wrote. "U2 is freaking awesome."
U2's lead singer Bono has been vocal about politics during the band's decades-long career in music, saying in late 2023 that freedoms around the world were "going in reverse," but adding "America is still the best idea."
