In an interview, Sen. Mike Lee questions whether it's money well spent for the U.S. to maintain embassies in nations where the government isn't strong enough to prevent spontaneous violence.

Reports Newsmax:

Asked if we need to shut down some of our embassies abroad, Lee responds: “I think our presence in Libya demonstrated that this one is not going to be sustainable right now.

“I’d love to see us have an embassy there that’s functioning, but that’s not going to happen until we get a functioning government in Libya, one that condemns these acts of violence and commits to us that they’re willing to go after those responsibility for these attacks and bring them to justice.”
