In my latest for Truth and Consequences I have a few thoughts on the coward Ben Sasse and his efforts to deflect from years of enabling Donald Trump truthandcons.substack.com/p/the-cowardly…
In 2016, Ben Sasse was a critic of Donald Trump - even refusing to endorse him in the presidential election. In Trump's first two years he frequently criticized him ... then in 2019 he switched up when he was trying to deflect a primary challenge
In early 2020 he refused to vote to convict Trump in the impeachment trial and largely kept silent about the president's mismanagement of the pandemic .. then in October 2019 began criticizing him again, once he was on his way to reelection.
His efforts now to attack Qanon while ignoring his own role in enabling these conspiracy theories is perfect timing. He's thinking of running for president in 2024. The hypocrisy is staggering, cloaked in the gauzy rhetoric of American ideals
