Don’t let Ben Sasse get away with it

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Republican Senator Ben Sasse voted to acquit Trump when he knew he was guilty. It’s cute that Sasse is vaguely taking the correct side now that it’s all over and Trump is defeated. But Sasse gets zero points for this. Every republican senator who voted to acquit Trump should go to prison with him.

Republican Senator Josh Hawley’s real motive for pretending the “contest” the election results has been revealed, and – to the surprise of no one – it’s about money.

So what’s the real difference between someone like Ben Sasse and someone like Josh Hawley? Sasse wants us to believe that he’s reasonable, forthright, mainstream, and that he morally opposed Trump from the start – none of which is true. Hawley is trying to cash in what’s left of the dying Trump movement. They’re merely two sides of the same despicable Republican Senate coin.
