Momentum building in Nebraska to censure anti-Trump U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse

Just the News:

Republican Party committees in three Nebraska counties have endorsed censuring U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse for his criticism of former President Donald Trump, setting up a vote later this month in the state GOP.

The GOP committee in Sarpy County, the state’s most populous Republican-leaning enclave, voted late last week to join the effort. The Republican State Central Committee is slated to take up the censure Feb. 13.

“Sasse says he’s just here to defend the Constitution, but Sarpy Republicans feel like people are trampling on the Constitution all the time,” said Robert Anthony, a Papillion, Neb., resident who supported the Sarpy County censure measure, according to an Omaha World Herald report.

The movement in Nebraska come as Wyoming Republicans overwhelmingly voted Saturday to censure Rep. Liz Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in the House, for voting in favor of Trump’s impeachment. Only eight of the state GOP’s central committee’s 74 members stood to oppose the measure. more

  1. Is that Nebraska-speak for, “Locking-his-ass-in-stocks-for-30-days-in-downtown-Omaha-so-anyone-who-wants-to-can-come-kick-him-squaw-in-the-ass?”

    If not, then I don’t care… 🙄

  2. Instead of censuring him, why not consider just not reelecting him and conducting a campaign to that effect?

    Either do something meaningful instead of something symbolic or do nothing at all.

    IMO.

    “how about a recall. hit him in the pocket”

    …these are not options. There is no “vote” now, just a selection and a quick download to tabulators.

    …so the only way you can get rid of him is to get rid of Dominion FIRST.

    …good luck with that…

  4. I’ve seen baby hippos with more teeth than these sackless Republican censure measures.

    Sasse openly mocks Republican voters in his state as “political addicts” who he doesn’t need because he represents the state not just those whack jobs in his party.

    So your censure is an election late and a carbon credit short to punish your better.

    “Did Bush get Dominion in Cornhusker state? Not sure ; but think not.”

    …no, but Dominion got in there anyway just last year…

    ….Dominion. They’re everywhere you want to vote.

    So you can’t.
