Citing how protesters surrounded a vehicle in Utah this week before one shot the driver, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) called for his colleagues to unanimously pass a resolution that condemns “mob violence.”

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) blocked the measure, arguing that elements of the resolution weren’t straightforward enough.
