In a lengthy post on Facebook, Nebraska GOP senator Ben Sasse addresses the danger of Congress attempting to overturn the election on January 6:
The president and his allies are playing with fire. They have been asking – first the courts, then state legislatures, now the Congress – to overturn the results of a presidential election. They have unsuccessfully called on judges and are now calling on federal officeholders to invalidate millions and millions of votes. If you make big claims, you had better have the evidence. But the president doesn’t and neither do the institutional arsonist members of Congress who will object to the Electoral College vote.
Let’s be clear what is happening here: We have a bunch of ambitious politicians who think there’s a quick way to tap into the president’s populist base without doing any real, long-term damage. But they’re wrong – and this issue is bigger than anyone’s personal ambitions. Adults don’t point a loaded gun at the heart of legitimate self-government.
SPOT ON.
Yours, Tex
You are correct, Senator. Adults would never do that to a LEGITIMATE, duly-elected government. So why would they do that at the prospect of a BIDEN government? ::insert Ben Stein voice:: Bueller? Bueller?
Well, Sasse needs to talk with Admiral Boodra. Oh, wait,
Ben Sasse obviously doesn’t know the meaning of the word “legitimate”.
He should look it up in the Dictionary before commenting further.
Adults leery of election fraud would be trying to explain the evidence instead of being smarmy and dramatic on evaluating it.
I am against defeating ‘leaders’ like this politically.
I am for executing them.
If he wants to make a two way street of it...I’m okay with that.
