| Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska |
After Donald Trump called for possible actions to be taken against networks like NBC and CNN for what he calls “fake news,” Sen. Ben Sasse took to Twitter to remind the president that a free press is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
“Disgusting the press is able to write whatever it wants to write,” wrote the president.
“No president should play with censoring news they dislike,” Sasse fired back.
And thus began a Twitter feud between Sasse and conservative Fox News douche / Trump butt boy Sean Hannity.
File this under “infighting is fun.”
Mr. President:
Are you recanting of the Oath you took on Jan. 20 to preserve, protect, and defend the 1st Amendment? pic.twitter.com/XLB7QXM3bQ— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) October 12, 2017
One of the biggest mistakes in my career was supporting @BenSasse Just useless. https://t.co/bYReWFdfKO— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) October 12, 2017
Sorry, Sean — you changed, not me. Some of us still believe in the Constitution. No President should play with censoring news they dislike. https://t.co/ZBEMNSF7nz— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) October 12, 2017
Question for conservatives:
What will you wish you had said now if someday a President Elizabeth Warren talks about censoring Fox News?— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) October 12, 2017
