Sasse is a POS opportunist backstabbing traitor. He will never get my vote. Between Hannity or Sasse, its a no brainer who is the patriot.
WikiLeaks saved America from Hillary.
Sasse is standing up for Hillary and he cover story again.
Shouldn’t Ben Sasse do what he does best, go on liberal talk shows and laugh at the N word..remember when that happened, hardly a peep in the media since even though he has an R next to his name he’s NO Republican
Chelsea Manning = lionized, heroic truth teller and freedom fighter and speaker of truth to power
Wikileaks= bad, bad leakers
Sasse neglects to mention Wikileaks was the publisher of Manning espionage
Assange is a hard left progressive who got mugged by the pure malevolence of Hillary Clinton
Sean’s only present interest in Assange is putting a stake in the heart of the favorite lambasting issue of Sasse’s, the phoney Russian Collusion tripe. Sean is very much on record for castigating Assange for the Bradley Manning debacle.
For the record, until they figure out some way around that X/Y Cromosome thingy, mother nature will not go along with the other crap.
It is this simple, everyone loves and hates a leaker. What side you fall on that love/hate depends upon who the leaker harms.
Sasse is correct on the one hand in that leaks can hurt all of us. In a perfect world, we would all stand aside and say, “yes, this benefits my side but we can’t have this.”
But this is NOT a perfect world. This is a civil war world where the standard is: leak hurts the conservative agenda, its good and doesn’t matter how it was obtained. Let us focus solely on the content and report on it 24/7.
Leak hurts the left, let us decry the leaker and focus on the collusion or other imaginary sin that perpetrated the leak. The content is IRRELEVANT. Move on from the content, the jury will disregard.
Except that in the last election the jury didn’t disregard the content and all of the conspiracy-Trump Russian collusion theories couldn’t erase that blackboard.
I agree that Sean took a different stance towards Assange. But that was when he was playing by the Marquis of Queensbury rules. The left was only benefiting from leaks and not being harmed by them. If you accept the fact that leaks are going to occur in this day and age, regardless of your statesman like treatment of them, then the Marquis of Queensbury rules are DONE. I can accept that Sean has evolved here.
Lil bennie is a scumbag so who cares what he says or does?
Does everyone realize the story under discussion is a year old? Including Ben Sasse’s tweets?
I am surprised it has taken this long for the left and their never Trumpers to go after Assange. Don't see he has done anything wrong.
I guess this puts Twitchy into the camp of the Nazi oligarchs that run the GOP.
