The text of the censure resolution, obtained by NCN, lists more than a dozen complaints against Sasse, including his public criticisms of Trump and for \u201cmocking\u201d the integrity of other Republican senators.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A portion of the document reads:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Whereas<\/strong> <span>Senator Ben Sasse has persistently engaged in public acts of ridicule and calumny against President Donald J. Trump, through both the spoken and written word, questioning the president\u2019s agenda, decisions, motives, and competency;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whereas<\/strong> <span>Senator Ben Sasse has publically [sic] shown contempt for Donald J. Trump, and likewise he has made disparaging remarks towards the Trump family;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whereas<\/strong> <span>Senator Ben Sasse has repeatedly, through imprudent public remarks, demonstrated a general disrespect for the Office of the President, and likewise for the reputation of his fellow Republican senators, mocking their integrity;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Sasse promptly<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-jCnUHNeTkg&amp;feature=youtu.be\"><span>addressed<\/span><\/a> <span>the committee in a video: \u201cI\u2019ve heard from many of you in the days since the attack on the Capitol threatening another censure for what I said about the president\u2019s lies after the election. As a friend, and fellow Republican, I\u2019m going to shoot straight: I\u2019m not going to spend any time trying to talk you out of another censure. I listen to Nebraskans every day, and very few of them are as angry at life as some of the people on this committee. Not all of you, but a lot. Political addicts don\u2019t represent most Nebraska conservatives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sasse told the committee that \u201cmany\u201d of them were upset because he condemned Trump\u2019s \u201clies that led to a riot,\u201d which he later emphasized \u201chappened because the president lied to you.\u201d When in office, said Sasse, Trump \u201clied about the election results for sixty days, despite losing sixty straight court challenges, many of them handed down by wonderful Trump-appointed judges. He lied by saying that the vice president could just violate his constitutional oath and declare a new winner \u2014 that wasn\u2019t true. He then riled a mob that attacked the Capitol, many chanting, \u2018hang Pence.\u2019 If that president were a Democrat, we\u2019d both know how you\u2019d respond. But, because he had Republican behind his name, you\u2019re defending him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&nbsp;\u201cSomething has definitely changed over the last four years, but it\u2019s not me. Personality cults aren\u2019t conservative. Conspiracy theories aren\u2019t conservative. Lying that an election has been stolen, is not conservative. Acting that politics is a religion<\/span> <span>\u2014<\/span> <span>it isn\u2019t conservative.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sasse is the latest Republican to face potential censure from state or local party officials.
