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?
Sasses 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.

He’s also apparently a good pal of Never Trumper Jonah Goldberg’s—has been on two of Jonah’s first three new podcasts, I believe.
Personally I find him the most noxious of all the GOPe slime. He’s a newbie who should know better, but clearly has massive ambitions and my guess would be Deep State intelligence connections as well.

Partner, we are thinking alike since the vote count between conservatives and far left liberals are about 52% vs 48%.
We should be around 65% vs 35% and 5% could care less.
This is not comforting at all.
We do have a lot of Illegals and we also have a lot of our population that are foreign born and do not have any idea of our allegiance to our country, flag, national anthem, etc.
A lot of these folks are so far left liberal in their thinking because of their third world status such as India, Pakistan, China, South America. I worked with these folks and I would take my stand every single day as a conservative whenever I got the chance.
One day I went into somebody's office who was praying to Mecca and I was going to ask a question. I never got an answer to my question since he never ever came to my area about why I was in his office. He was a Mooselimb. I was so P.O.ed beyond control that I had to go outside and walk around for about 1/2 hour before I came back into our office.
These foreigh born folks do not know a thing about our great country maybe it will have to be the 2nd generation we hope so.
