nti-Trump crusader and Nebraska GOP Senator Ben Sasse set his sights on Sean Hannity this week; accusing him of “grotesque distortions” in his new book while failing to disclose countless interviews where the Republican widely-agreed with the Fox News host.
According to recently released excerpts from Sasse’s latest cash-grab, the Senator lashes-out at Hannity for a full twenty pages; saying he doesn’t “promote a particular conservative agenda, or to encourage American patriotism, or even to offer coherent arguments against liberalism. His core cause is to rage.”
“Liberals are evil, you’re a victim, and you should be furious,” he adds.
Sasse conveniently forgets to inform his readers of countless interviews and conversations where he vehemently agreed with Hannity’s “rage” when politically convenient for the Nebraska lawmaker.
Listen to Ben Sasse agreeing with the “King of Rage” on countless occasions below:

Nebraskans should have supported Scott Osbourne.
True, but some are far worse than others and Sasse IS a POS.
I know he does. But Sean Hannity is taking the bait and all it's doing is dividing Republicans.
Hannity needs to ignore Sasse. Let him have his RINO moment in the sun. But we need all Republicans to unite for the mid-terms.
Anytime is a good time to disparage Sasse. I won’t be voting for George P. Bush either, because he is a mega-turd.
Well at least he voted for Kavanaugh.
But he is the textbook definition of a “pompous @ss”
So disparage him after the mid-terms, in the new Congress if hopefully Republicans gain more seats. Don't do it now while the real villains the Democrats are on the horizon.
I won’t be voting for George P. Bush either, because he is a mega-turd.
I don't care about P. Bush. He has zero impact on the mid-terms.
They’ll unite without Ben Sasse. Sasse is doing the dividing.
I agree. I’m just very disappointed with politicians in general. I personally feel that they need to be reminded in a very, very strong manner that they are our EMPLOYEES, not our betters.
Sasse isn’t on the ballot this year, and he’s the one picking a fight with conservatives.
even Medved did as I recall
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s your first clue that Sasse is a Cheap Labor Express stooge.
Medved only backs Cheap Labor Express stooges.
Sasse votes in support of Trump’s positions 87.2% of the time. But you’re quite right.
Just don’t bother bringing facts to a good FR lyching.
Setting the stage for a 2020 run?
Oh, be careful what you wish for! :-[
Hannity, functioning on imposed unseen limits from Fox’s parent company extending to his basically conservative rhetoric, is the most effective media counter to the left on major media TV with a loyal following who already know there is more to the situation the US finds itself in than Hannity deals with. Sasse accomplishes nothing and does potential damage to Republicans by his, may I say, hysterical rant? He IS NOT Presidential material for the fight that will ensue after Trump is gone and all of the next 6 years are little time to find a capable replacememt for Trump.
Just as apparently Lindsey Graham has done after the death of McCain, namely demonstrate a re-invented or released Graham, so Hannity if in another place might be more acceptible to conservatives who know that he does not cover matters with the same degree of knowledge or with the same priority. However, I think Hannity is fine where he is as Fox news is the only realistic partial counter to the enormity of what the country is facing right now.
I do not especially consider Fox News “fair and balanced” as it forces conceptually half of its time (without measuring it) to what amount to perverse, nihilistic, hysterical viewpoints and activities graphically covered that do not support or sustain continuance of our COnstitutional Republic that are NOT NEWSWORTHY. I favor news forums and political, econommic, on the internet to tv “national and international news” because they offer individual originality rather than group indoctrination.
That tweet is from the future
I agree.
rage . . . liberals are evil . . .you’re a victim, and you should be furious
Actually, either approach is good.
whose only notoriety is as a Trump-basher.Be careful where you go there Mark. Some of us remember when you were about to step over that threshold.
“It is crucial that we get all hands on deck and give our President the Republican majority he needs. “
We needed all hands on deck when Trump was first elected. We supposedly have the majority now. But the rinos and neverTrumpers that make up the GOP(hillary voters) decided to fight Trump instead of saving the nation.
It was a really long shot(for survival) with every republican working in concert with Trump to wrest control of our corrupt stasi state and do something about the 50 million plus illegal aliens in the country. Instead we got aholes like Jeff Sessions and the aholes in the party that backed him. The republican party has fought Trump way more than they ever did Obama.
A disgusting spectacle.
That was him?
For a second there I thought one of the hosts brought their kid on set.
