NeverTrumper Senator Ben Sasse was quick to react on Thursday after President Trump slammed his AWOL Attorney General for ignoring the many glaring criminal actions by Democrats and Deep State operatives since he was sworn into office.
Sasse lashed out at Republican senators who say replacing the AWOL AG would be best for the country.
Ben Sasse never misses an opportunity to trash the duly elected US President or his supporters.
Roll Call reported:
Republican senators grew increasingly vocal in their warnings to President Donald Trump if he fires Attorney General Jeff Sessions, including threats not to vote for a replacement.
Sen. Ben Sasse came to the floor Thursday afternoon to read into the Congressional Record the statement that Sessions, a former Alabama senator well-liked by his former colleagues, issued in response to criticism from Trump.
Sessions was highlighting the independence of the Justice Department, and Sasse, a Nebraska Republican, wanted it to be perfectly clear that he would have the attorney general’s back.
“Bizarrely, there are people in this body now talking like the attorney general will be fired, should be fired, I’m not sure how to interpret the comments of the last couple of hours,” Sasse said. “I would just like to say, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, and as a member of this body, I find it really difficult to envision any circumstance where I would vote to confirm a successor to Jeff Sessions if he is fired because he is executing his job, rather than choosing to act in a partisan hack.”
“The attorney general should not be fired for acting honorably and for being faithful to the rule of law,” Sasse said.
Sasse is very proud of his speech and posted on his YouTube page.
You’re no hero, Ben.
