Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) lost at least one supporter because of his tweet calling out the President for “recanting” his oath of office on Twitter Wednesday: Sean Hannity.
Retweeting Sasse’s message to the President — in which Sasse criticized President Donald Trump for attacking the freedom of the press — Fox News host Sean Hannity said supporting Sasse was “one of the biggest mistakes in my career” and called him “useless.”
One of the biggest mistakes in my career was supporting @BenSasse Just useless. https://t.co/bYReWFdfKO

Sasse shot back, saying Hannity “changed, not me” and that “some of us still believe in the Constitution.”
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

Hannity, a vocal supporter of Trump, responded with a series of tweets, saying he’d “never support censoring anybody!!” and calling Sasse a “#Loser” for not repealing Obamacare.
I’d never support censoring anybody!! I’ve stood up for freedom of speech/Constitution my entire life. You have accomplished NOTHING IN DC. https://t.co/H2T262MOxc

Sasse’s initial statement comes after Trump suggested that “Fake News” outlets should have their broadcasting licenses “challenged” or even “revoked.”
Trump’s irritation has been aimed at NBC News this week, after it published exclusive stories about Secretary of State Rex Tillerson wanting to resign this summer and calling Trump a “moron.”
“We still believe in it, but we don’t necessarily do anything about it.”
“Believing is enough”
Oh look, Sean learned the name of a court case. He must be really smart.
Not smart enough, since he is a purveyor of invented pulled out of his ass facts as news and should be circumspect about accusing credible news outlets while living in the Glass House of FOX News.
Twitter - the playground on which adult kids can hurl insults, tell lies and act tough with a big audience to observe the stupidity.
Virtual food fight in the old GOP grocery store. Someone needs to page for cleanup in aisle 7 - stubby oldish guy is flinging tomatoes and eggs at another guy and making a pure mess all over the twitter-sphere. No not the usual stubby guy creating havoc on twitter - that dude is ancient … and the dotard in chief - this is his wannabe twitter doppelganger.
