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.

Eventually, the generals will take Trump into custody.
Sasseeee has been a disappointment, to say the least! Hasn’t been there long but has become entrenched in the Democrat arm of the Republican Deep Staters.
Gaslighter in Chief Sasse was just fine with Hillary and her 1st amendment destroying SCOTUS picks.
Did he ever accuse Obama of violating his Oath?
hahahahahahahahahahaha
Ben, Ben - he’s trolling - you’re supposed to be such a bright bulb, but you lunged at the bait like a starving bottom-feeder.
What’s wrong Sasse, has little MSM fallen down the well?
“I’m starting to wonder if there are any good senators.”
I really don’t see any. Perhaps we should consider doing away with the Senate altogether, since they are a complete roadblock to doing anything constructive for our country. And because there are so few of them, they are easier to “buy” than Congressmen.
Trump has every right to advocate for the public policy he thinks is best. His office is a political office. Advocacy is a big part of what he does.
It’s absurd to say he’s violating the Constitution by advocating for what he believes to be proper public policy.
If he issued an Executive Order or a Presidential Directive against a business, then yes. Short of either of those, the charge is silly.
Let’s contrast Obama advocating for people who were before the court as he spoke. Not a mention of Constitutional misconduct there. And in that case, it clearly was.
You don’t open your mouth on an ongoing trial outcome.
Obama did it. Crickets!
Sasse demonstrates his utter and complete lack of understanding about the meaning of "freedom of the press" under the Constitution.
.
When a network deliberately puts out lies that could potentially cause WWIII or other deadly consequences?
Sasse = dumbass
I believe ALL “professional politicians” are in it just for themselves and NOT for the American people...
S is for stupid.
S is for Sasse.
S is for one termer.
Harvard and Yale educated.
Worked in HHS under Obammy.
Say no more no more
Is this moron up for election again this year?
Anyone ready to primary him?
Trump is good at that. He will post a Tweet and the frogs jump all over it.
It’s not Thanksgiving yet, but stuff it Sasse.
Remember Sasse when his primary rolls around...
This guy is spouting the same democratic talking points the Dnc gave to morning joe. Sick. When is he up for re-election?. He is awful.
