Senator Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) on Friday called for the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol last week to be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” saying those who participated in the unrest that left five dead were “terrorists attacking this country’s constitutionally-mandated transfer of power.”
Sasse’s comments come after the Department of Justice said in court documents that the rioters breached the Capitol with the intent to “capture and assassinate elected officials.”
In a memo requesting that “QAnon shaman” Jacob Anthony Chansley be kept in detention, Justice Department lawyers in Arizona wrote that “strong evidence, including Chansley’s own words and actions at the Capitol”
Sasse needs to be primaried

Violent riots are wrong and none should be tolerated, whether they are racial justice protests or any other cause.
Sasse should not minimize the seriousness of ANY and ALL riots.

I was not aware Sasse was conducting an investigation. Mr. Sasse, I must caution you not to jump to conclusions. I hope I don't have to issue any further reproves.

If you want to know why real Trump people were in the Capitol building... and why you should believe that this riot was pre-planned and managed by hostile, non-Trump, people read the Federalist article. Here: https://thefederalist.com/2021/01/14/i-saw-provocateurs-at-the-capitol-riot-on-jan-6/#.YABm42_ANmA.facebook If you don't want to do that, before they disappear, look at the pix of people breaking windows wearing helmets and carrying shields, backpacks, and-obviously- tools for breaking windows. Ask yourself how many times people equipped that way showed up at Trump rallies.
It's easy to pick up trump hats, shirts, signs and flags. We'll sell them to you. But wearing them while rioting doesn't mean you're a Trump supporter... or were incited by Trump.

BTW... If they publish any interviews... they'll find the QAnon Shaman's link to the Republican party is less strong than his grip on reality.
Just sayin'.

Well, you would know more about that than we would, Ben. Your masters were responsible for it. Perhaps, you could detail just how that “constitutionally-mandated transfer of power” was stopped? You were all so darn traumatized that you went right back to sanctioning the steal in record time. Oh, and while you’re at it, tell us more about the Franklin Credit Union and the congressional page scandals. Word on the street is that you have quite a bit of information on those fronts.

Sasse probably looks under his bed and then broadjumps into it at night.

Saying they were terrorists does not make it so, it just sounds foolish. In fact it does remind me of a sporting event where a group of fans went off the rails. It certainly doesn't remind me of the riots where protestors repeatedly beat and kicked a downed participant, or drug drivers out of their cars etc. Even the footage of the fire extinguisher event looks like the person walking by, just picked it up and lobbed like a piece of wood onto a fire, into the crowd of police officers

Sass is a holier than thou RINO who considers himself to be the smartest political snake in DC. Obviously he intends to run for President in 2024 and definitely did not want Trump and Pence to win the November election because that would have made Pence the Republican front runner for the Republican nomination for President in 2924. Sass is about as holier than thou as Romney but did not have the money that Romney has. As for Sass’s statement that the morons who broke into the Capitol should be prosecuted, no kidding, in that respect I have not heard anyone say that they should not be prosecuted.

Where was this jackwad when Antifa and BLM were burning down cities, killing people, and destroying businesses and robbing the contents? Was that just a "summer of love" as the demonrats kept saying?

Would they be the same terrorist who started in the Wall St. protest ? Ferguson ? Baltimore ? Portland ? Seattle ? Chicago ? It was NIMBY until Jan 6th.

Sorry #1, he was just reelected. BUT he is hoping to run for president in 2024. Fat chance anyone would vote for him.

According to Sasse then a certain Minnesota policeman did not murder a certain Minnesota man. A policeman's overreaction left one dead.
