So, here's Mike Lee comparing Donald Trump to Captain Moroni (a hero in the Book of Mormon) and then modifying a verse of LDS scripture to include the words "fake news." . . . The end of this cursed campaign season cannot come soon enough. . . . I've gotta say, "I seek not for power but to pull it down" may be the single Book of Mormon quote that's least relatable to Donald Trump.
