Utah Sen. Mike Lee
Thank you for bringing this up, anon, as something has been puzzling me…
This last week:
'Trump Expected to Pick Ken Cuccinelli for Immigration Policy Role'
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/21/us/politics/trump-ken-cuccinelli-immigration.html
This at the 2016 Republican Convention to nominate potus (pic related):
'The Never Trump delegates joined forces with a small but aggrieved band of GOP delegates — led by Virginia delegate Ken Cuccinelli and Utah Sen. Mike Lee — furious with party leaders and the Trump campaign for their role last week in blocking a slew of changes to party rules '

As this anon remembers it, this stunt was not a gimmick. It was to prevent the nomination of potus from happening.
