The Nebraska GOP reprimanded Ben Sasse over the weekend for his renegade views — I guess he’s a renegade goy? — on Donald Trump. It is at least a little curious that the sponsor of the resolution is the nephew of Sen. Deb Fischer, who, for whatever reason, has gone out of her way to make her distaste for Sasse clear since the beginning. Also over the weekend, the Nebraska GOP rejected this resolution, which it is safe to say in any other year would have been uncontroversial:
Ben Sasse — Nebraska GOP Reprimand“Be it resolved that the Nebraska Republican Party strongly opposes all degrading remarks toward women, minorities, and other individuals by Republican elected office holders or party officials, including candidates for President of the United States, because such rhetoric tarnishes the GOP’s legacy as the party of Lincoln, alienates millions of Americans, and jeopardizes Republican majorities in the Nebraska Legislature, the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate.”
