Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) claimed in a speech on Thursday that “the right wants a strongman daddy figure” in describing his political party while asserting that Democrats want “a powerful, nameless but supposedly benevolent bureaucracy.”
“In the 2016 presidential campaign, you had two candidates with wildly different solution sets, but their fundamental diagnosis was really the same. The system’s rigged, you’re getting screwed, you’re a victim, the country is going down the tubes, you’re victims,” Sasse said while giving remarks at “A Time for Choosing Speaker Series” event by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute.
“The left wants a powerful, nameless but supposedly benevolent bureaucracy. The right wants a strongman daddy figure, but the loudest of them all agree on one thing: America, the one the founders gave us, the one kept for us by our parents and grandparents, it doesn’t work anymore,” he continued. “They can’t work anymore. These are not the good faith positions of two big healthy political parties that are just competing about different visions of leadership.”
The Nebraska Republican also claimed it was “full of crap” for both political parties to villainize the other in what have become an increasingly partisan climate, especially in light of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, in which a mob of pro-Trump supporters tried to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election.

Oh STFU, RINO Rat.
I want a “daddy figure?”
I want someone who wants the Law followed, gets rid of corruption, and who helps get the country back on track and away from PC crud.
Ben sounds like he’s about as out of touch with reality as Joetato.
There is no doubt that he is a traitor to the country. He is immersed in DC and cannot see right from wrong?
I guess he could be JUST THAT STUPID.
Ben’s asse called - it’s looking for its moron.
A favorite of long gone Medved. Now please disappear too clown.
What is wrong with the stupid party? Answer: always trying to appease the media and the rats, in addition to being f’ing wimps.
F the malicious straw men, and mind reading. RINOs have zero authority to speak for others. Don’t put words in our mouths, and don’t attribute motives.
Oh, that’s right, this is from The Hill - reliable, Deep State gaslighting.
He’d be a moron if he was serious and not just spewing talking points.
He knows and they all know Trump is supported for his policies. They were good and they were proven to work.
We all know Dennis Hastert was Ben’s Daddy.
I’m so old I remember when the Democrats cheered accolades to Bill Clinton for being a strong daddy figure.
The Reddest States have the worst Senators.
Best thing about MAGA is that now they don’t even try to hide their contempt for their own voters.
.
Demented old Biden wrecked the country and all the Republicans want to do is criticize their own base.
Ben’s still mad about Dennis Hastert’s standing policy.
Oh look! Another “Chamber of Commerce” Republican lamenting the fact that elitists aren’t freely allowed to screw over honest, law-abiding citizens.
Sasse is right in a way, the right WANTS strong men, instead we have pussys like Sasse we want leaders with a spine!!
as opposed to... wut?
sit down and STFU!!!
“Trump: The Same Tank of Gas for Half The Price”
It really has about doubled.
Ben is very comfortable with a senile grandpa figure and a supporting cabal of destructive incompetents. Really time to be rid of Sasse and his ilk.
