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.
Di@khead. Stealing elections is what HAS pointed a gun at the constitutional republic, not the response to the theft.
Ignore the millions of fake ballots, Ben. No threat to self governance there. What a dummy.
“Sasse needs to be honest and put a D next to his name.”
No, we need to be honest with ourselves and acknowledge that Sasse is a true Republican - he represents what the Republican party has become.
Do you seriously think the attempted theft of Donald Trump’s second term is being carried out only by Democrats? You think the Republican party is fighting for Trump? The Democrats could never have gotten this far without the full cooperation of the Republican establishment.
Yeah, I just can’t wait for the next GOP fundraising letter I get...
This little $hit has to go.
No I’m sorry the vote by state delegations doesn’t take place unless they vote for president. We will never get to that step.
Both houses are needed to reject the electors and neither one will.
That’s just reality.
It wasn’t a fair election but unless something new comes out the certified results aren’t going to change.
Trump encouraging Thune be primaried. Sasser needs to have the same shortly.
Go frauuud! Go Frauuud! Go frauuud1 Yeah!!

You can see it here, more and more are defending the Sasse’s, Cornyn’s, and Rubio’s.
Didn’t take long for some to buy the media crap and move on to RINO’s that undermined Trump.

Congress will soon be called on to hear and investigate allegations of vote fraud. That is how the system is supposed to work. Calling this an attack on democracy is absurd and pernicious because it amounts to saying that election fraud must be accepted because to oppose it imperils democracy itself. This is akin to arguing in favor of fraud and coverup as essential to democracy -- a line of argument that discredits the American form of government as being built on lies and corruption of the ballot box.
Idiots like Ben that have the country trillions in debt. Trump should take the military if necessary to remain President and remake the corrupt govt into something decent.
Yep. Like clockwork with these bastards no more Republican than Joe Biden
Trump encouraging Thune be primaried. Sasser needs to have the same shortly.
LOL. Sasse was just elected with 67% of the vote. You’re not going to primary him. He’s playing a cynical game here for his own benefit.
Bkm
Maybe they can find a reason to lock Ben up. Like working to overthrow the US govt.
Which means he won’t be primaried for six more years, that is if he even decides to run again.
The resident never-Trumpers think it’s now safe to show their stripes.
Laf. Just watched that episode on the Twilight Zone marathon.

Actually, only tens of thousands of ILLEGAL ILLEGITIMATE Votes swung the Election. Around 45,000 from what I understand.
