Nebraska governor takes jabs at 'libtards,' champions conservative wins in campaign call [View all]

“Nebraskans are about faith, family and hard work. We’re about the American dream. I will tell you that if you sit and listen to the 10 keyboard warriors that are the libtards, if you listen to that, you would think the sky is falling down,” Pillen said.

Later in the call, Pillen used the term again when talking about how serving as Nebraska’s governor is an “incredible privilege.”

“I love the people in Nebraska, and you know, I don’t really give a damn what those libtards and these people want to criticize. Quite honestly, the more they criticize me and our team and my family… We’re doing great work. I’m only your governor by the strength of prayers.”

And in a third instance of using the term, Pillen mentioned demonstrators who had gathered at one of his in-person talks who voiced their opposition to the governor.

“We had some demonstrators in one of our places today that wear the red things – whatever. The libtards have lost their brains.”
