Sen. Ben Sasse: ‘Adults Don’t Point a Loaded Gun at the Heart of Legitimate Self-Government’
National Review ^ | 01/01/2021 | JOHN MCCORMACK

Posted on 01/01/2021 8:06:25 PM PST by SeekAndFind

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.

Are you kidding?

Little Miss Sassy has always been a GOPe Swamp dweller. I don’t know why Nebraskans love the little soyboy.

Who cares about six years from now? The GOP as an institution must be he held accountable for undermining POTUS at this historic time. If Sasse is not going to be facing sanctions for his behavior the party should. Steve King lost his seat in committee seats for way way less than the gaslighting we are getting from Sasse’s rear.

He wanted to get that statement out earlier, but he had to wait until it was translated from Chinese.

To add comment on the authors propaganda dribble....

We are Not Self Governing, if we were we would have removed Communism and Socialism from our country in the 50’s

And continued to do so till present day.

A clue this idiot needs to become cognizant of right now is that we are civil, we did Not rig an election, the proof is there for you to report on if you were honest.

Come time the bell rings, either way, be prepared to back up your lies.

That is all.

All of the seditious and traitorous are flushed from their cover. They need to be brought to justice for their perfidy.

SASS & the other RINOS really need to explain WHY they believe there is NO REAL EVIDENCE of MASSIVE FRAUD, given that there are OVER 600 SWORN STATEMENTS, taken under “the penalty for criminal perjury” from Election Officials of both parties, who stated that THEY PERSONALLY WITNESSED many intentional FRAUDS BEING COMMITTED.

Ken, some people are simply goofs. All Ben needs is the buck teeth and bone glasses.

Does anyone get the feeling that I do?

I think Trump is going to unleash holy hell on The 6th or maybe just before.

I think he pulled The Ratcliffe report, like keeping his powder dry, for then. Whybrelease something that the media will not carry? Why give peop like Ro,ney. Sass, hristoe and many others to ridicule it?

Wait til the end, then unleash all of it.

We all know it’s damming.

My only question?

WHY IS IT THAT ELECTION FRAUD IS AS PLAIN AS THE MOSE ON YOUR FACE, AND THERE PEOPLE OUT THERE SASSE, ANOTHER FLAKE, WHO WONT SEE IT?

What makes you think they dont see it? Hasn't it been going on for years? Shouldn't we assume that they are willing participants?
