Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) said President Donald Trump’s compliment of Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-MT) for assaulting a reporter last May was “not OK.”

Sasse said, “I believe the First Amendment is the beating heart of the American experiment. We need to have a president who celebrates the First Amendment and not pretends that beating up a reporter is OK. What you hear from Nebraskans who also tune out most of the rallies is that there’s a short-term, long-term thing going on and feel that the president’s rhetoric is short-term playful. I don’t think it’s OK, but I think most people tune most of it out.”

Screw that sassehole.

[digger48]

Most people tune you out too, HorseSasse

[Lysandru]

Are we talking about a real reporter, or a Democrat operative with a press pass?

[pfflier]

Sasse is a sissy.

[inchworm]

And Ben we need you to stop pretending to be a Republican.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We need Senators who don’t think accusation proves guilt.

Over a dozen Mexican journalists were murdered last year.

What did Dems say about that? Nothing.

China murdered their INTERPOL official.

What did Dems say about that? Nothing.

Selective outrage.

Muslims murder people all over the world. It’s what they do. We didn’t punish them for funding 9/11, we aren’t going to punish them for this.

[ilgipper]

The new Jeff Flake. Extra sisified.

It’s a joke, for crying out loud.

For Christmas this year, I’d like a great candidate to primary the non-esteemed Senator from Nebraska for the 2020 election.

[MAGAthon]

he was on CNN for a purpose.

Ben Sasse has turned out to be a disaster...
MARK LEVIN·TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2018
The last time I spoke to him, he called me a few years ago lobbying on behalf of the Corker-Iran bill. I told him shame on him, that it was a complete sellout and violation of the Treaty Clause, and to never call me again. And, in fact, we have not spoken since. He can prattle on about Trump and how he (Sasse), somehow, is the last man standing for conservatism (which is a pathetic joke), but the fact is he is utterly inconsequential and has accomplished nothing in the Senate.

[Secret Agent Man]

Only people i ever see beating up reporters are lowlife liberal urban scum.

[napscoordinator]

Rumor is he’s not running again. He proves the rumors right everyday.

[escapefromboston]

We need reporters that aren’t the propaganda arm of the DNC.

[11th_VA]

Bet he didn’t say a thing about the President who said, “If they bring a knife, you bring a gun”

[Williams]

It was self defense as demonstrated at the time. Sasse pos.

[JME_FAN]

This Nebraskan wishes somebody would beat this SASSHOLE to a bloody pulp.

[ak267]

Remember folks, this is the same Sasse who was the purported “Obamacare killer”.

Yeah....sure.
