Ben Sasse throws Peter Navarro right under the bus. Bumpity bump goes Peter!

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/republicans-are-getting-desperate-just-not-enough-to-compromise-on-their-right-wing-policies-conservative-columnist/

In a New York Times report Sunday, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) is clearly struggling with the need for more from the White House, but without the drama to which Americans have become accustomed for the past four years.

“I want more briefings but, more importantly, I want the whole White House to start acting like a team on a mission to tackle a real problem,” said the Nebraska senator. “[Peter] Navarro’s Larry, Moe and Curly junior-high slap fight this week is yet another way to undermine public confidence that these guys grasp that tens of thousands of Americans have died and tens of millions are out of work.”


“[Peter] Navarro’s Larry, Moe and Curly junior-high slap fight this week..."
Couldn't have said it better myself, Ben!

You left these incompetent jerks in office, and with your votes to acquit gave them carte blanche to do whatever they wanted. We told you that's what would happen, but you voted to acquit anyway. Now you're butthurt about Peter Navarro and the administration's antics?

You're just trying to cover your ass now.

where Susan is "concerned" Ben is "damn" mad...he huffs and he puffs and then Mitch gives him the stink-eye and Sasse folds and votes the party line like a good little boot licker

...when "fearless leader" is down 15 points in the latest polling.

Real "profile in courage" moment for Sen. BS.

Mr. Sasse you had a chance to fix this but instead laughed at the slap fights and thought it was acceptable.

Until it wasn't.

Because you see the polls that you are losing the senate.

So fuck off, sir.
