"SNIP......

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) condemned the Republican Party for nourishing QAnon and other conspiracy theories in The Atlantic.

He says the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was “not a protest gone awry or the work of ‘a few bad apples.’ It is the blossoming of a rotten seed that took root in the Republican Party some time ago and has been nourished by treachery, poor political judgment, and cowardice.”

“When Trump leaves office, my party faces a choice: We can dedicate ourselves to defending the Constitution and perpetuating our best American institutions and traditions, or we can be a party of conspiracy theories, cable-news fantasies, and the ruin that comes with them. We can be the party of Eisenhower, or the party of the conspiracist Alex Jones. We can applaud Officer Goodman or side with the mob he outwitted. We cannot do both.”

.....SNIP"

1. Bravo, Senator Sasse.

I just wish you didn't have an 85% voting record with Trump.

But we'll take your words and then see what you do....

2. My grandmother used to say "talk is cheap." We shall see if Sasse can walk the walk.

Or just give lip service.

3. I am not surprised he listed some obscure liberal hypocrisy to balance
