Sasse Says Congress Must Find Out What Trump Knew
June 29, 2020 at 7:51 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) told The Hill that Congress needs to get to the bottom of what President Trump was told about Russia offering bounties to Taliban militants to kill coalition troops in Afghanistan, calling for a “proportional response” from the U.S.

Said Sasse: “I’ve been hearing from military families in Nebraska constantly for the last 36 hours and they’re livid. This is a story about the targeting of American men and women in uniform. This is about putting crosshairs on the backs of people who are fighting for our freedom. This is not about short-term politics.”


Washington Post: Republicans once again face questions over why Trump isn’t tougher on Russia.

He makes a statement as if he actually cares about democracy and decency and then he folds.

staying up all night sending absurd tweets? Could have maybe learned something useful for the nation like the threat of Covid-19 or the Russian bounty on our troops.
