Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., is concerned that more violence is on the way, following last weekend's deadly clash between white supremacy and neo-Nazi groups, and left-wing counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Va.
"It feels like violence is coming," Sasse wrote at the end of a long Facebook post Friday evening, titled "The next Charlottesville." "I'm not sure if this moment is like the summer of '67 or not. But it might be. Before that violence strikes again, it's up to us to reaffirm that exceptional American Creed again today, with our neighbors, and in our kids' hearts."
Earlier in the online note, Sasse listed out a number of "observations" from his family discussions this week. Within that 16-point list the lawmaker said he expects the violence will "come when white supremacists and the alt-right fight anarchist groups aligned with the extreme left."
President Trump, he said, will offer little in the way of a solution.
"What will happen next? I doubt that Donald Trump will be able to calm and comfort the nation in that moment," Sasse said. "He (and lots of others) will probably tell an awful combination of partial truths and outright falsehoods. On top of the trust deficits that are already baked so deeply in, unity will be very hard to come by."
Sasse has been a vocal critic of Trump since he took office.
Trump has faced bipartisan criticism for his remarks regarding the violence in Charlottesville, as he initially failed to rebuke white supremacist groups and neo-Nazis. On Monday he did condemn these groups by name, going further than his first statement Saturday, but on Tuesday he doubled back to say there is "blame on both sides."(continued)

He’s done all he can to make things worse.
This fat globalist is whining about the white guy who ran his car over some protestors while in the mean time a BLM idiot murdered two police officers.
Its so obvious what the plan for the ruling Washington cabal is. Its a replay of what they attempted during the campaign. Pay people to commit violence and try to blame it on Trump. The tearing down of confederate landmarks is bait in hopes of instigating violence on the right that they can more easily blame on Trump. Trump needs to place FBI agents in the crowds, fly drones with face recognition etc., video and record all lawless actions and release to the public. Investigate and expose all antifa/BLM actors as paid agitators and if any crimes are committed arrest them and prosecute them. The local governments will not. The advantage is we know whats coming.
Nope - I am not a driver. I downloaded the UBER app and used it exactly one time. But you have to give an email addy, so they are sending this out to ALL who have the app.
