Nebraska Sen. Sasse rips Trump over COVID-19, foreign policy

October 18th, 2020 | Karen Schmer

WASHINGTON (AP) – Republican U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska has told constituents that President Donald Trump mocks Christian evangelicals in private and “kisses dictators butts.” Sasse made the comments Wednesday during a telephone town hall this week when he was asked why he has been so critical of a president of his own party.

Sasse is running for a second term representing the reliably red state. He criticized Trumps handling of the coronavirus pandemic and said Trumps family has treated the presidency “like a business opportunity.”

The comments were first reported by the Washington Examiner after it obtained an audio recording of the senators comments.
