GOP Senator Asks Trump If He’s ‘Recanting’ Constitutional Oath

Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse issued a statement asking President Trump is he is “recanting” the oath he took to defend and uphold the Constitution after Trump suggesting revoking the “licenses” of network news organizations.

“Mr. President: Words spoken by the President of the United States matter,” the Republican senator wrote in a statement. “Are you tonight recanting of the oath you took on Jan. 20 to preserve, protect, and defend the 1st Amendment?”

Sasse’s tweet came after Trump sparked backlash from both conservatives and liberals by saying he should censor certain news outlets.

THANK you, Ben Sasse.  You are one of the few good guys in DC.

This is what happens when you elect a President who is clueless as to what the Constitution says.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

So basically you want the Fed to tell the broadcast networks what stories to push?

Trump should respond by lifting the ban on political activity by 501C3 organizations, including churches.

@kevindavis
Obama had a hotline to MSNBC who admitted they cleared stories with the White House before publishing them.

Did that bother you?

If we let the media continue with their radical partisan agenda we won't have a Constitution to worry about.

The communist scumbags are the ones reporting lies as news and
pushing communist propaganda.

a no no. If that is not true I will adjust my posting style accordingly.

@jpsb  Yes, communist was a bit specific and personally descriptive. 

All that we can really say is that you're pushing the totalitarian, anti-Constitutional, anti-American line.

No but continuously broadcasting lies as news and covering up for the communists
is not providing a public service. There is a standard you know. See THE PUBLIC

Really? What tangible thing has Ben done that is good for the country? All I see is another loser who pops his head out of his hole to spout off his righteous indignation and then goes back to cashing his paycheck and hanging around with the boys in the gym.

Yes, you can say that.

But I'd rather defend America and do that, than to attack America.

GOP Senator Asks Trump If He’s ‘Recanting’ Constitutional Oath




And once again I must ask,  "Why are Democrat leaders not plagued with these same sort of mouthy @$$holes who question their motives?"   


Why does this seem to only be a problem for Republicans?

Because our side has critical thinkers. Their side doesn't.

If Barack Hussein Obama had called for the revocation of FCC licenses of broadcasters who criticized him, would we conservative lovers of the Constitution have praised or criticized him? That's pretty much all Jonah was saying.

Anyone who truthfully answers that yes, he would have been outraged at Obama, but is defending President Trump's comment may want to rethink his self-proclaimed regard for the First Amendment.
