    I appreciate this from @BenSasse. We can’t call Republicans out for never standing up to Trump then ignore them when they finally do.https://twitter.com/bensasse/status/918296123269189632 …

        As a Nebraskan, I'd appreciate it too, except @bensasse never backs up his words with any action.

        saying mildly critical things and constantly voting for his agenda is the opposite of standing up to Trump

        his agenda is to deny health insurance to millions, accelerate climate change and exacerbate inequality. "Mainstream" GOP is reactionary

        Trump didn't emerge from nowhere. GOP was normalizing racism and xenophobia long before him and will do so long after he leaves

        Sasse voted for Trump's entire cabinet and every one of the ACA repeal bills

        Don't be seduced by @BenSasse. He is a Koch brothers puppet through and through.

        Wake me when @BenSasse does something meaningful to actually back those words up. So far, he’s tweeted & written a book. Votes? Nope.

        Didn't he sit on his hands when his Senate leader literally hijacked the republic and stole a Supreme Court seat?

        I appreciate it too but they also must back up those words & that almost never happens cause they're all cowards putting party/donors first.

        call out is "sound and fury signifying nothing" if there's no follow up action.
