Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse issued a statement asking President Trump is he is “recanting” the oath he took to defend and uphold the Constitution after Trump suggesting revoking the “licenses” of network news organizations.
“Mr. President: Words spoken by the President of the United States matter,” the Republican senator wrote in a statement. “Are you tonight recanting of the oath you took on Jan. 20 to preserve, protect, and defend the 1st Amendment?”
Sasse’s tweet came after Trump sparked backlash from both conservatives and liberals by saying he should censor certain news outlets.
“Network news has become so partisan, distorted and fake that licenses must be challenged and, if appropriate, revoked. Not fair to public!” Trump wrote.
“With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License?” Trump asked in another tweet.

Isn’t Ben Sasse the moron who went on Bill Maher’s show and laughed at the use of the N word
One by One, the swamp creatures take off their masks.
“With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License?” Trump asked in another tweet.
I agree - this First Amendment thing is vastly over-rated.
Sasse’s has been off for a very long time.
Ben Asse is st it again.
“No, but I have stopped beating my wife ...”
I hope this crap weasel is on Bannon’s list.
I’m starting to wonder if there are any good senators.
What in the hell is this dumbass talking about? Is he not aware that there are (”alleged”) FCC license standards?
Ben should worry more about HIS promises to HIS voters and donors.
LOL. I thought it said GOP Senator.
Gosh where was Ben “Sissy” when Obama walked all over the Constitution?
Unfortunately, Sasse is still three years from having to go before the voters again (2020). Does anyone know at what level his popularity is in Nebraska at this time?
Maybe we need some sort of Federal Commission to provide oversight on Communications - but what would we call it?
GOP=hypocrites!
Hey sassy Ben, go out screaming “Fire!” in a theater and see whether your First Amendment rights are unlimited or not.
Is Senator Sasse saying he wants to ban the FCC?
Sounds like it to me.
Too bad Nebraskans can't do a recall.
