President Trump slammed Ben Sasse Monday morning, calling him a “RINO” and claiming he’s “gone rogue” after the GOP senator labeled his coronavirus economic relief executive actions “unconstitutional slop.”

“RINO Ben Sasse, who needed my support and endorsement in order to get the Republican nomination for Senate from the GREAT State of Nebraska, has, now that he’s got it (Thank you President T), gone rogue, again,” Trump tweeted.

“RINO” stands for Republican In Name Only.

“This foolishness plays right into the hands of the Radical Left Dems!” Trump added. […]

“The pen-and-phone theory of executive lawmaking is unconstitutional slop,” Sasse said in a statement over the weekend. “President Obama did not have the power to unilaterally rewrite immigration law with DACA, and President Trump does not have the power to unilaterally rewrite the payroll tax law.” …

Yes, let’s compare Trump’s EO to DACA which the SCOTUS has let stand.

Apparently the SCOTUS considers EOs to be constitutional.

Rino suckass Sass needs to talk with Roberts on the Constitutionality of executive orders, since he just Ruled on one of Obuggers.

He ruffled feathers of both sides of the aisle and shamed them for their inaction and, they know it.

Sasse is a smuck - if you can say nothing good - WHY say anything at all - he has to know the dems are going to use his remarks to hurt Trump - I don’t want to vote for him - he shut up before the primary and won because he has been quite. I won’t vote for the dem but have a problem pulling the level for Sasse. IF re-elected he will be a thorn in Trups side for the next 4 years...but a Den would help the Dems take the Senate...Probably Hold My nose but now happy about it.

Most of the GOP Senators are Bush League Republicans opposed to MAGA.

We have to do much better.

Don’t be sassy, Chief. RINOS cry big tears. Almost as big as crocodiles. All tears flow to the SWAMP. They’re recycled...green & red...like a cloth? No like a watermelon.

There's been a low murmur about Sasse being involved with some weird shite at Boys Town for years.

Ben Sasse: Would you trust him around your children?

Listen up. We are stuck with him ok? It is a ‘safe’ seat and he is safe enough to be a disturber of the excrement, just like the POTUS. All you have to do is look at his ACU rating and see that he supports the POTUS most of the time. Meanwhile WE should spend our time worrying about the contested seats. Nuff said.

Please ignore him President Trump, and if it is getting attention find a way to use it to attack the Dems/ Biden.

I understand his feelings about executive orders but this is an emergency due to ....

Inner party squabbles should be on hold for the next four months if possible.

ACU ratings do not reveal anything. And for a “safe” seat, seeking Trump’s endorsement reveals something about that.

Sasse has been accused of being a RINO long before this.

I first really took note of Sasse some years ago when I still tolerated Michael Medved. Medved waxed poetic about Ben Sasse, smartest man in the Senate, true statesman, finest Senator, etc etc.

I knew right then that he was a snake that was a fake conservative. Sometimes you can know who your enemies will be by knowing who their friends are.

If Medved likes them, they are Cheap Labor Express stooges, guaranteed.

The Stafford Act of 1988, Mr. Sasse... LOOK IT UP. The President is WELL WITHIN THE LAW here.

Fair enough, but what irks me is why his ilk don’t call out the “unconstitutional slop” of the Mueller investigation, etc.
