Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) offered blistering criticism of a press conference held on Thursday by Rudy Giuliani and other lawyers representing the Trump campaign, warning that they "erode public trust."

"Wild press conferences erode public trust. So no, obviously Rudy and his buddies should not pressure electors to ignore their certification obligations under the statute We are a nation of laws, not tweets," Sasse said in a statement.

His remarks were in response to a press conference where Giuliani and other lawyers overseeing the president's legal challenges levied various claims of fraud and made clear that their goal was to overturn the results in several states President-elect Joe Biden is leading or has been projected as the winner.

The efforts are aimed at swaying the vote certification process and pressuring state lawmakers to send pro-Trump electors to the Electoral College.

5. Erosion of public trust in government is by design by the GOP, not a flaw to them.....

and it's been slowly going on since Nixon/Agnew just in my feeble recollection.

Before you can destroy something precious to humans, you have to destroy their confidence in that entity.

Sasse is a hypocrite.
