Sen. Lee Suggested Cruz Use 'Benefits of Socialism' Book in Debate Against Sanders: It Was Empty

Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah) gave Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) a method to troll Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt) during their Tuesday debate on CNN about the Affordable Care Act.

Lee tweeted at Cruz, writing that Cruz should borrow a specific book before he takes on Sanders, Red State reported on Wednesday.

Lee attached a video featuring a book titled "The Benefits of Socialism."

The book is flipped through, and here's the kicker: all the pages are blank.

There was an awkward instance during the debate where Sanders, a self-proclaimed Socialist, could not give a coherent answer to small business owner LaRonda Hunter when she asked how she could expand her business under the crippling mandates of Obamacare.
