Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who's said he may vote this month to convict former President Trump on an article of impeachment, is pushing back against possible retaliation from the Nebraska Republican State Central Committee by warning that his party must choose between “conservatism and madness.”
Sasse on Thursday released a five-minute video responding to Republican officials back home who want to censure him at a Republican State Central Committee meeting on Feb. 13 because of his criticism of Trump.
He warned that purging Trump skeptics from the GOP is “not only civic cancer for the nation [but] just terrible for our party.”
Sasse, who didn’t support Trump’s candidacy in 2016 or 2020, dismissed his critics in the state party as “angry about life” and out of step with regular Nebraskans.
“I listen to Nebraskans every day and very few of them are as angry about life as some of the people on this committee. Not all of you, but a lot," Sasse said in the video. "Political addicts don’t represent most Nebraska conservatives."
Sasse is one of several Republican officeholders under attack for criticizing Trump.
Sasse called the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol “ugly," and said the “shameful mob violence to disrupt a constitutionally mandated meeting of the Congress to affirm … peaceful transfer of power” was a result of Trump spreading lies about the results of the 2020 election.
“It happened because the president lied to you. He lied about the election results for 60 days, despite losing 60 straight court challenges, many of them handed down by wonderful Trump-appointed judges,” Sasse said.

Sit down ben you POS.
Sasse seems to be an expert on madness.
P***y!
When the Repubs are left wondering in 2022 why they got their asses handed to them yet again, they can harken back to comments by Sasse’s.
I take it Sasse is admitting that he represents the “Madness” wing of the party?
The country has chosen to accept madness by letting Biden sit in the White House.
He’s right, but 180 degrees out of phase.
Embracing madness is the globalism he backs, conservatism is conserving the Constitution and traditional America.
Then I choose madness! Groyp groyp groyp!
I’m guessing Sasse is on the side of madness? He’s definitely no conservative.
Since Sasse wouldn’t know conservatism if it slapped him in the face, I assume that he is supporting the madness.

Obviously Sasse chooses madness
They are Ben, that is why they are pushing to censure you! We don’t need traitors like you in the party sir! Just wish there was a way to excommunicate people who betray the public like you have fro the party
The former GOP of the Uniparty are using the tactics of the RATs and Marxists. Double talk to mess with our minds is an art form, and they’re learning quickly.
If party members can’t even elect a conservative Senator in Nebraska, those who claim that the GOP can be taken over by conservatives are deluding themselves. You can rage against the machine but you cannot defeat it from within. You need to take it head on from the outside. Patriot Party 2022.
True. And the Dems have the same choice.
WE are Conservatives!
YOU are mad!
Sissy is insane, so I think I’ll choose conservatism.
