Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., is concerned that more violence is on the way, following last weekend's deadly clash between white supremacy and neo-Nazi groups, and left-wing counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Va.
"It feels like violence is coming," Sasse wrote at the end of a long Facebook post Friday evening, titled "The next Charlottesville." "I'm not sure if this moment is like the summer of '67 or not. But it might be. Before that violence strikes again, it's up to us to reaffirm that exceptional American Creed again today, with our neighbors, and in our kids' hearts."
Earlier in the online note, Sasse listed out a number of "observations" from his family discussions this week. Within that 16-point list the lawmaker said he expects the violence will "come when white supremacists and the alt-right fight anarchist groups aligned with the extreme left."
President Trump, he said, will offer little in the way of a solution.
"What will happen next? I doubt that Donald Trump will be able to calm and comfort the nation in that moment," Sasse said. "He (and lots of others) will probably tell an awful combination of partial truths and outright falsehoods. On top of the trust deficits that are already baked so deeply in, unity will be very hard to come by."
Sasse has been a vocal critic of Trump since he took office.
Trump has faced bipartisan criticism for his remarks regarding the violence in Charlottesville, as he initially failed to rebuke white supremacist groups and neo-Nazis. On Monday he did condemn these groups by name, going further than his first statement Saturday, but on Tuesday he doubled back to say there is "blame on both sides."(continued)

Surrender Monkey Ben Sasse has been photographed with Romney in recent weeks.
There’s a plan, I’m sure.
POS Ben Sasse
:
Who was the last president from Nebraska?
I am proactively censoring my comment about Sheik Sasse to relieve the heavy workload of our moderators.
Vichy Republican swine.
The sASSehole actually believes that he can beat Trump in the Republican primaries in 2020.
sASSe must be on some powerful drugs.
Nor can a little puss! like Sasse help us
A totally worthless person.
Just like the summer we debated who killed Chandra Levy
“What will happen next? I doubt that Donald Trump will be able to calm and comfort the nation in that moment,”
This idiot is clueless to what is happening. These people do not want to be calm. It is about bringing this country down. It is a civil war they want. 4 policemen shot tonight with 2 killed. I do not no the details on the 2 in Pennsylvania.
Actually, it’s starting to feel a little bit more like 1788.
We must ensure any event the source is known by all.
who the source of the violence is.
Who funds the source of the violence.
Who comprises the leadership of the source of violence.
and start getting pictures, photographs of the perpetrators of violence exiting their buses to pursue their goals. We generally know events that will be met with bused in violence, so let’s get prepared, and shove facts up the MSM’s nose.
Goodbye Sasse.
Hope Nebraskans have enough sense to send you packing.

Reference the Picture.

Have you seen the full video? They stalked that fat guy and the old man all the way there from the park.
They picked out the weak ones to attack, but the fat guy had pepper spray.
What if we put the KKK, antifa, white supremacists and liberal elites in a field and let them 'work it out' for a day or two...
It'd be like a war between North Korea, Cuba and Iran - sane people would cheer for all groups to lose...
What's with the white bib?
“Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Gardner, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst, Young and Shelby”
Wow! Almost all of our Republican senators are linguiny spined weasels.
Born: Feb 22, 1972 ... it is not like he is talking from memory... probably got his talking points from a democrat staffer.
Yes, they are and we had better start removing the Amnesty Senators.
Flake, Hatch, Heller and Corker in 2018
Graham and Alexander in 2020
Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022
The white bib - it sure made it easy to spot him.
