A Senate Republican is blasting President-elect Donald Trump's criticism of Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), praising the lawmaker for his leadership in the civil rights movement in the 1960s.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Saturday seized on Trump's characterization of Lewis as "All talk, talk, talk - no action," pointing out that his "talk" made a significant contribution in the civil rights movement.
"John Lewis and his 'talk' have changed the world," Sasse tweeted.

Conservative insiders were fooled by Sasse in the spring of 2014.
Flimsey Grahamnesty only has 4 years as does Sasse.
Unfortunately McAmnesty and Rubotio have six.
Whatever a man did once before he got into politics where all he had to do was show up and talk doesn’t hold a candle to a man that got into the business trenches at an early age and is STILL there.
Sasse is a mental case.
Doesn’t Omaha have some issues that need fixin’?
Cockroaches keep coming out of the woodwork.
TALK IS CHEAP....blah...blah...blah...does not help ...actions do...and we know Lewis by his actions of being one of the Plantation owners
That was FIFTY years ago, sASSe
What a sickening little white boy panderer you are
Not unlike his neighbor, John Thune.
John Lewis hasn't changed one damned thing as he will see in 6 days.
No it didn’t. It was usually a script written by the staff of house leadership. It was usually irrelevant to topic because it was given to him as his story line. It was frequently just noise.
Hint to Sasse...quit sucking up to those who won't vote for you no matter what you do.
Hint #2-Join the Alpha Male and help drain the swamp, not populate it.
I was just gonna say that Sasse has a pedo problem. I couldn’t remember the details of whom he helped to cover up... SCUM!
Sasse- that’s the “soft prejudice of low expectations” - knock it off you bigot!
Does Nebraska have recall laws? Get rid of this creep.
Sass is living proof that dung beetles sometimes mutate.
WHO exactly is Sasse working for?
Trump’s point
What has talk- talk done for Lewis’ district?
What good does his spouting false garbage do for his district.
At least trump didn’t say ‘STFU and get to work , bless your heart “
Sasse rhymes with a$$ ...
anyone have Sasse’s official email or office contact info? He needs to hear a polite and respectful complaint for attacking/undermining the incoming Republican president with a headline-grabbing cheap shot.
Ben Sasse lost badly as a neverTrumper during the primaries, even reprimanded by the Republicans in his own state. Now he is jumping out again thinks he can settle scores with Trump. Pathetic!
