Ben Sasse spoke on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) again for breaking with President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In an open letter to Sasse on Thursday, the state\u2019s GOP chair said the resolution to censure came after Sasse decried claims of voter fraud and blamed President Trump for the violence on Capitol Hill. She went on to say it is unfortunate they do not have a way to recall Sasse, as the party no longer believes he is representing Nebraskans\u2019 best interests when he goes to Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The senator responded by saying he was fulfilling his promise to put the Constitution above party politics.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sen. Ben Sasse to the Nebraska GOP State Central Committee: &#8220;You are welcome to censure me again.
