Nevada Sen. Ben Sasse said former Vice President Joe Biden's refusal to answer questions on expanding the Supreme Court was 'grotesque.'

as a flashpoint among progressives as Democrats debated how to respond to Republicans' efforts to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death. Some liberals argued Democrats should move to expand the Supreme Court beyond its current nine seats if they win the presidency and Senate in November.

Biden opposed expanding the size of the Supreme Court during the primary campaign, but has evaded the question as the Democratic presidential nominee. On Friday, Biden said voters"don't deserve" to know his position on expanding the Supreme Court before the election. And on Saturday, Biden pointed instead to the Republicans' efforts to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court saying they were"packing the court now. It’s not constitutional what they’re doing. We should be focused on what’s happening right now."

Sen ben Sassafras saying one thing ,j voting the opposite way I'd disgusting

Hope this guy being voted out soon. GOP doing nothing fir ppl, they just only want to keep power to only wealthy and white.

Nebraska's SenSasse's refusal to speak to Nebraska sexual assault survivors when they flew to DC to speak to him, and the fact that he has (willfully) ignored so many Nebraskans throughout his time in office is grotesque. WriteInLove

Den is a Sass

GOP are grotesque , so it’s a little rich coming from this clown 🤡

ELOHIM EMBASSY ET DAY FOR THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST SUPER STAR ⭐👑↔️ UFO ↔️ THE CREATORS OF THE LIFE 🦋↔️🚻...GENESI...RAEL ORG.❣️🇮🇹

He answered you. You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting Trump b

What about what the Republicans are doing now?! Real time court packing by Trump and the Republican senate. Hypocrites.

Buwahahahaha🤣

shutdownNEVERWINTERsuePWE PWE is actually PWI from Beijing, China and a scam company that created ARC as a spyware program to steal your information. Help join in on a Class-Action Lawsuit to shutdown this company to stop them from scamming people online

Grotesque? Grotesque. 215,000 plus Americans dead is perhaps more so.

He can’t answer it. Because if he does, he either admits to doing something most people disagree with or he tells his supporters that he won’t do what they want him to do.

Funny! SenSasse is grotesque. I completely support increasing the number of supreme court justices. It is with the constitution for an administration to consider it and then do it. Very much like this administration rushing to appoint someone just 3 weeks before the election.

The smart Americans! Let's vote for whom who punishes the CCP and criminals of repression of religions in China. Don't be the accomplice with Chinese communist devils like Obama. God is observing you. God bless you!

Stop it!!! Trump is grotesque!!!🤥👹🤪🤡☠️

I far more appreciate a candidate who doesn’t readily answer because they don’t haven’t solidified their position than a candidate who lies that he will or won’t do something and then doesn’t.

Wow, grotesque, strong word considering who the president is !

That’s ridiculous what about what the Republicans bastards are doing

While the Republicans are packing the courts, right? 50+ federal court judges plus 2, maybe 3 supreme court judges. Biden is not president, yet. He said he´ll announce his plan when he gets elected.

Republicans, all the mess you doing who trust you? I wouldn’t answer any questions, so you can vote it out wait and find out our next president will tell you soon enough

MSNBC CNN I hope he does expand the court given how hypocritical the repubs have been not allowing President Obama 2 have his candidate heard & now not letting the American people vote 4 the president we want & let that person choose the next Justice 4 the SCOTUS. VoteTrumpOut

What is grotesque is that the trumplicans don't care about AMERICA any more. They are all RINO's!

ass hat

Is Trump going to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses? And remember Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland and all the judgeship McConnell refused to bring to the Senate for approval.

Hahaaa is that a joke? You’ve got to be kidding....

nebraska, not nevada.

Republicans have been court-packing for years, by conveniently forgetting their advise and consent responsibility when it was/is inconvenient for them. That is, whenever a Dem is president.

If Ben and the rest of the Rs werent liars if they just followed through on the precedent they set if they just didnt change the rules THEY set, if they just didnt suppress voting (see Abbott and Texas ballot boxes) if they just stopped with post office dismantling. Then maybe..

BenSasseIsAHypocrite

When did Ben Sasse get elected in NV

He is from Nebraska.....

Republicans are 'grotesque' and they are going to loose bigly. bye bye

FATFBLACKLISTINDIA

Was it as grotesque as Trump’s refusal to condemn white supremacists or...?

Like you stacking the court

Fix the Covid 19 virus first instead of talking about Supreme Court . Not even one plan for the virus 🦠

Mr. Sasse is a vile HYPOCRITE! It has been the Rethugicans who have packed the courts. Remember Merrick Garland? Rethugicans are not fooling anyone with their lies!

How shameful and sickening it is to watch this confirmation rammer thru on the eve of an election. The words of senatemajldr ring in our ears. How blatantly unfair he explained, to not give this choice to the people. To be replacing a Justice a mere 8 months before an election.

He answered it. If you steal the SCOTUS position, Dems are free to expand the court. BTW. Sasse is NOT from Nevada.

Chinese virologist: China's government 'intentionally' released COVID19 Twitter suspended her account after 2 days she created, unbelievable!!! Her mother was arrested due to her last Foxnews interview with Tucker!!!

Okay... whatever you say

BenSasse grotesque. Are we learning a new word everyday. If so, please use correctly. Twit.

How about this

Nevada had 2 women senators, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen. I voted for them both. Get your facts straight. Jeez!

His entire being is grotesque.

It ‘s not up to Biden. It’s up to the Congress! Has Sasse ever read the Constitution?

Yes. Let Nevada have Ben Sasse

Did you have to ask your secretary to look that word up for you?

This shit show today from the GOP is the only thing that is grotesque as they defy the people of this country who have already let their voices be heard on both sides of the party. This is all about ACA and Agent Orange when he loses the election. They're all dirty bastards!

You mean as Grotesque as Trump and McConnell packing the district courts and confirming a judge during an election?

The Supreme Court is now just another political body of the the government thanks to Moscow Mitch and friends so it is what it is

McConnellPackedTheCourts

Stop it. Just because Sasse spouts bullshit DOESN'T mean media outlets need to cover it. Especially without context. Sasse & GOP have been 'grotesquely' packing the courts. This isn't opinion, it's fact.

how many court orders did this administration ignore? how many subpoenas did members of this admin refuse to comply with? how many lies? how many laws broken? GOP is the Party of Grotesque

PRESIDENT TRUMP has already won. He will have 3 SCOTUS and over 150 federal judges appointed...that means conservative run the courts for next 20-30 years....suck on that all you socialists ( and yes I mean you liberals, which by the way it’s a mental disorder)

Ben Sasse is a Senator from Nebraska. Please get facts right. Journalism!!

No more grotesque than what you guys are doing. Stop with the high and mighty bullshit. Man, these guys just don't get it!

Ben Sasse fyi He likes mansplaining but not looking at data nor facts

NICE

jocowboys87 Sen Ben Sasse NV should talk about how the Republicans are packing the courts with inexperienced conservative judges. Now they are packing the SC to throw the ACA healthcare. Shame on Republicans!

BenSasse will just have to live with his disappointment.

Those who always say “period” are against freedom spirit and potentially are dictators.

Holy fuck. Get your facts straight! Sasse is from Nebraska and the question has no merit or value. Instead ask the republicans why they have “stacked” the courts and why they are continuing to do so!

You know what's grotesque? That BenSasse is a sitting Senator.

Your misfocused tweet makes sense when you can't even identify the Senator's state-

Sass’s refusal to do much of anything for folks of Nebraska is grotesque

Let's review the game here. Republicans: We are putting Barret on SCOTUS because we have the raw political power and ability to do it. Also Republicans: Democrats better not use raw political power when they have it.

Haha it's none of the republicans business on what Biden s going to do,their just mad because they want to block him🤬

Grotesque BenSasse GOP have court-packed for years...paid for by the Koch brothers. CourtPackerMitch blocked many of President Obama's federal judgeship nominations which is why IMPEACHED POTUS has had many openings to fill. Seems balancing SCOTUS would be justice.

Ridiculous. Gop have packed the court for decades and blocked democrats picks Obama’s term then rushed those 100 thru under Trump. Speak the truth

Court packing is what Mitch McConnell has done by not allowing a hearing for Merrick Garland and by not allowing the Obama administration to seat judges and by cramming Barrett through. THAT'S the Court Packing

Nevada? So funny. Oh my, so very funny. We in Nebraska WISH he was the Senator from Nevada. Take our senator, please. BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

Appreciated his opening statements on civics... for the 8th graders!!!

The unanswered question is an answer, yes. They will pack the courts.

BenSasse is Mitch McConnell's appointment of Federalist judges and 2 SCOTUS just as grotesque

Oh the hypocrisy. MerrickGarland

Yet, it is allowed in the Constitution and the courts have contracted and expanded in the past.

Sasse has the nerve to try and give us a civics lesson now. That's like Bill Barr teaching a class on how to write cliff notes. Judging by the mentality of GOP constituents I do understand why a republican would think we are 8th graders.

BenSasse has become an expert in grotesque over the past few years. His morals have been on extended vacation as he fled from any and all accountability. Yeah, true role model material.

Unfortunately he’s Nebraska’s senator not Nevada’s. But they’re welcome to take him off Nebraska’s hands. PLEASE!!!!

These right-wing religious zealots don’t care about the damage to democratic institutions, the consequences of their actions, or their hypocrisy as long as “Christian” theocracy is advanced.

Yours and McConnell already packing the court for a right wing agenda is grotesque

No BenSasse you & Republicans are grotesque putting this judge up who basically belongs to a cult. I don't think the Pope would call her beliefs Catholic. She's to obey her husband & handmaid in all things-so WHO would be giving their judgements from our highest court?

Trump is systematically destroying democracy, but oh yeah, will Joe pack the courts as Trump & Mcconnell already have? Like, right now?

WTF, have the Republicans been doing? With all the federal judges and other appointments they've pushed thru. Instead of a covid package. What about Garland? Sasse should know his party has been stacking the courts for 3 plus years. So he can STFU!!

You should delete this tweet since you have the wrong state listed.

Isn’t Ben Sasse from Nebraska?

Do better, Just stop with amplifying the trite defense mechanism of projection from Republicans. They have been and are, as I type this and as you posted your story, packing the court. RepublicansArePackingTheCourtNow Vote VoteEarly VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Nebraska (NE) not Nevada (NV)

Oppressive Trump Regime ‘Reps’ Obliterate Ethics, Morals & Dignity, They Denigrate & Humiliate US Democracy! Pushed Decency Out the WH Door & Down the Hill, Lie, Divide & EnDanger We, the People at Will! Be Alarmed By the Anger & Hatred, STOP FASCISTS’ Destruction of ALL SACRED!

No, what is grotesque is his, & the GOP’s willingness to lie w/abandon about great & small things; approval of racism; support of caging children; fouling of our land, air & water; disrespect for our democratic republic & hypocrisy on the Supreme Court nomination process.

And Sasse is a moron

REALLY MOSCOW MITCH ALREADY PACKED THE COURT WHAT A BLIND MAN.. PROJECTION AND THINKING WE DON'T NOTICE WHAT THEY DID ALREADY!!!!

NEBRASKA,

I really hate Republican men. It DOES matter what her views are - she is part of a cult - but Republicans don't understand that is a problem because they are part of a cult too.

It's nebraska.

Robynmonty He’s right

REALLY? POS

Sasse can’t always stop to think. He is too busy lecturing.

SenSasse is flapping his gums right now. He lies continually. I know. He's my senator.

melpriceHB You, SenSasse, and your GOP colleagues have already packed the federal courts. Now it’s out turn. Hypocrite.

Not a shred of honor or integrity in any of them. Burn the GOP to the ground

melpriceHB How can USAToday be this bad? Ben Sasse is the Senator from Nebraska.

Look at you. Look at what you are doing? Who’s grotesque Yes Ben. It’s you.

Ben Sasse has never not sucked.

Grotesque is the GOP actively and openly cheating because they fear a free & fair election.

This is all a distraction from the true focus of this election—COVID 19! Don’t let the GOP get away with this!

I just chalked it up to Biden being a Bernie leftist Bro in the primary and pretending to be 'moderate' in the general election to fool people

As was your silence and the silence of Gov Pence about a president that will not commit to ensure a peaceful transfer of power, when Joe Biden wins.

Ben Sasse is a racist who gave a 'grotesque' graduation speech for high school graduates. Eff him.

What about senatemajldr blocking Obama from seating fed judges for two years? Over 100 judges have now been 'packed'. Eff off.

Mi az ember? Mi a káosz? Erre a definíció és a rövid válasz. A káoszból újból rend. De hogyan? A válasz röviden. - V. K.S.

BenSasse Packing the court is the nuclear deterrent. But if you continue down this path as republicans. The Dems should pack the court. Especially if you loose the majority in the Senate and House. Elections have consequences. So pick your battles wisely cause Karma is coming

Talking about grotesque did trump divulge his tax records? Did trump and Moscow Mitch divulge their plans to appoint federal judges by asking OLD farts to retire? So there!

WTF is wrong with you ? Have you forgotten Merrick Garland? THAT was court packing.

Chasing another republican laser pointer. You folks are sadly predictable.

I don’t think so Ben, u are doing such a good job slamming people in, while we are voting right now. U have no room to talk, what u Republicans are doing is diabolical & will suffer at the polls fir it.

BenSasse is a hypocrite

No, what's 'grotesque' is Republicans rushing to fill a SCOTUS seat with an inexperienced judge whose writings and comments make it clear that she can't be impartial and that she was picked to 1) help steal the election 2) end ACA 3) end Roe v Wade, and 4) end same sex marriage.

NEBRASKA senator Ben Sasse.

The GOP gets the 2020 Award for Perpetuating the Most Useless Talking Point. Trump has a zillion questions he has never answered, but that’s okay?

BenSasse is just another phony fu-k republican. We need to focus our dollars & votes on ridding the senate of all of them in the next couple elections

The Republicans won't take a covid test or tell us the results. Which is worse?

Sitting here in Dayton, Nevada, and thought oh for christ's sakes Sasse is now from Nevada? 2020 just keeps getting worse and worse....

BenSasse is grotesque.

Really? But Trump’s sexual assault on women is cool?

What's grotesque is that they will ram through her nomination but refuse to vote on any covid relief for the people.

It’s Nebraska’s dumb ass Senator, not Nevada’s. And stop gaslighting us with this non-story.

What was grotesque was Ben's speech to the graduating seniors. It was pathetic! He is worthless. I voted against him! Nebraska could do much better than this lemming.

Senator have you received an answer, or did you even ask, to the question if DJT and VP will accept the election results? If they the are not going to accept the election results, any questions to Biden are irrelevant.

WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING this BS talking point to eclipse the historical reality of McConnell's court packing? This is the new useless 'but her emails'. Be better journalists! Seriously. History

1st BenSasse is the Senator from Nebraska not Nevada please put someone that took a Geography class and actually passed it. Second it is Republicans that have packed the courts to the detriment of the American People. And yet the media covers this garbage people are dying!

More 'grotesque' than a 'president' and vice president who threaten civil war when they are defeated at the polls?

Irresponsible reporting. Now do kids in cages, bounties on American soldiers, trump family corruption, chain migration in the trump family, rigged elections by the GOP, putin working to help republicans cheat etc etc etc...

The GOP has successfully baited the media into a head fake — complaining about future Democratic court packing while distracting the media from the grotesque conduct they’re engaging in right now. The media including is so fucking stupid.

Soulless traitor.

Surprised someone recognized you had the wrong state. How is this newsworthy?

Correct Headline: Nebraska Senator BenSasse SenSasse Is Grotesque. Period.

Did Sen. Sasse talk about Trump's money laundering? Or Trump being $421 million in debt to foreign countries? Or Trump's refusal to say he's peacefully leave the White House when he's fired? No? Then so what?

USA Today, do better. Gop are the ones packing the court. REPORT ON THAT FFS.

Makes you laugh doesn’t it - his republican president wont honestly answer anything so why should Joe ?

Heard that. Laughed out loud.

Republicans have been wanting 2 pack the court 4 years, now it’s an issue bcuz dems MAY want 2 do it. Rather than packing the SCOTUS, when Biden wins & the senate flips to dems, Biden should nominate Barack Obama 2 replace the next SCJ. That would end the pack the court argument.

I’m in my 70’s. I knew people who had back alley abortions. Once again, women will have to resort to these tactics. Furthermore, we might as well say goodbye to accessible healthcare. This country under the Republican Party is a cruel cold place. Your vote is a nail in countless

BenSasse is one of the weakest people out there. Shame on him.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE PACKING THE COURT NOW! TO HELL WITH THEM!

Why don't we ever see pictures of him and Susan Collins standing next to each other?

As was the last 4 years of this Administration

And he is an expert on grotesque his love of Donald trumps ass is just that he is disgusting and needs to go

So when will you be a man and call out Trump and his terrorists? Call Trump out for paying and transporting idiots to the Whitehouse for a campaign rally! Guess the constitution means jack crap to you too!

Um...I believe Ben Sasse is from Nebraska, not Nevada. USA Today: perfect bathroom reading. Full of shit.

GOP you sold your soul and have no credibility here.

Ben Sasse is from Nebraska folks.

Oh, worse than grabbing p*ssies

Who cares what wishy washy Ben Sasse has Tom day!

You know what's actually grotesque - your ability to meander about Washington with no spine.

Sasse supports Russians more than Americans.

When did Ben become a Nevada senator? That said, his flirtatious dances with Trumpism are what’s really “grotesque.”

'grotesque' - wth?

but it is ok for the gop to pack the courts/.the corrupt gop party want things both ways ,,mainly theirs/.who elects these idiots?/.they are corrupt with power over u & your family/.but still feed at the pigs trough/.with their lifetime jobs/.

Ben Sasse's statement is ridiculous.

Why don’t you cover instead the Republicans’ “grotesque” voter suppression schemes and court packing, which are both happening right now, instead of a hypothetical future? Grotesque is how the media, once again, is creating a “both sideism” narrative, where there is none.

Trying to rig elections, while complaining elections will be rigged:

First of all, 'grotesque' is not the appropriate word here. 'Comically ugly or distorted' can be applied to the hair stylings and bizarre conspiracy theories of DJT and the Trumpettes. Have you asked the Senator to describe his reaction to paid attendees at an illegal WH rally?

Having a policy of separating children from mothers is grotesque, practically sing dictators is grotesque, demanding your justice department to go after your rivals is grotesque, using the White House as a campaign venue is grotesque.

i'd be a lot more concerned about who Trump owes 421 million dollars to - first and foremost

Oh spare us the pearl clutching. Trump won't even commit to a peaceful transfer of power.

What’s grotesque is 45 refusing to say he will transition power peacefully. vote VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteHimOut2020 democracy power transition Election2020

The GOP hypocrisy on so many levels must make their own heads spin.

You kmow sASSe the rino ass will get primaried.

Also' 'grotesque' is Amy 'Bum's Rush' Coney Barrett hiding information about her past words and actions in order to deceptively pass thru confirmation. We don't need justices like that.

Sasse is grotesque.

If that’s what he calls grotesque - how does he describe children in cages, ripped from their parents arms !! Start looking at the REAL grotesque policies under trump

That’s rich

.BenSasse What’s your comment about this? have you asked him?

Sasse. Look in the mirror. You very own Mitch McConnell Is THE CHIEF COURT PACKER

Trump APPOINTED OVER 200+ FEDERAL JUDGES 50 LIFETIME Appointment PLUS 3 SC Justice's

And yet he supports Trump. That personifies grotesque

I guess it's just as well thinking people actually DGAF what Ben Sasse thinks.

You know what's grotesque, Ben Sasse? Locking babies in cages. You know what's even more grotesque. Standing by and applauding while some Mango Mussolini locks babies in cages.

Uh, this d-bag is NOT from Nevada.

kids in cages BenSasse

So is every damn thing coming out of the White House so there you go

Correction: Ben Sasse is the Nebraska senator.

Nit!

Oh really? Them doing it one month before the elections is not?

Ok dude. Not answering a question is grotesque. But Trump saying “Grab em by the p***y” is totally cool.

Don’t care.

Ben Sasse the latest Trump minion to trade his credibility for the likes of Trump.I do not believe a word he has to say. I believe Sasse would even lie about the bathroom.

Another one of Trump trying to put down Biden, to start trouble for Trump so he can make bad comments on a subject that has nothing to do with Biden.

I can’t believe the media isn’t making the point of the court packing done under McConnell, and I can’t believe the Dems are sidestepping such an obvious opportunity to detail this in response. SMH

The Republicans have been packing the courts for the last 4 years at all levels. They packed the court when they refused to give Merrick Garland a hearing.

Sassy is from Nebraska not Nevada!

Who the hell cares what BenSasse thinks, he said nothing about peaceful transition of power, white supremacy, FLOTUS saying f*ck Christmas and kids in jail, or about trump saying *fuck* on the air or about 22,500 trump lies. 216,000 dead Americans bc he lied and failed to act

Says the guy who won’t address Trump’s statement about accepting election results.

STOP. WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT. JUST STOP.

'Grotesque'? You mean like a president who openly brags to Bob Woodward and to people attending his rallies, that court packing has been his greatest accomplishment over the past 4 years, packing the courts with 216+ right wing ideologues.

Get back to all the Trump lies and the danger to our country.

Now it’s “grotesque” but what they’ve done to Dems is not: holding hostage SC seat, threatening to not vote for anyone on the SC if Hillary won, not voting for any bills they passed, ramming unqualified judges to fill the courts! JoeBiden does not owe them any promises!

Nevada can kerp him, Nebraska doesn't want him back.

AdvocatAmy1 SenSasse you have already lost the moral high ground because of your silence over the last four years

They should know, they wrote the book on grotesque

Donald Trump is grotesque

SasseIsTrash

Republicans are the ones packing the courts. The people will speak on 3 Nov who our next president will be and how they want the government and justice system to rule. It is only prudent for the Republicans to wait to comply with the wishes of the majority of Americans.

No right to say anything after what MOSCOW MITCH did to President Obama!

Ben sasse staying silent as Trump ruined Democratic norms is grotesque

Trump has refused to say what he talked about with Putin in all 10,497 conversations.

Why does it matter ? The GOP has been quite proud of their stacking the courts. They seek a smaller blindfold on Lady Justice and to tip the Scales of Justice to their view. The GOP with carte blanche approval has been giving more power to the Executive branch over the other two.

Nebraska...

What's grotesque is how the media kowtows to every Republican lie but fails to cover a Trump crime for more than a day, including refusing a peaceful transfer of power and voter suppression. Do your fucking jobs!

It is them that is court packing

Our media is so awful in this country

Why does this matter ? The GOP is really proud of their stacking the courts to make them one sided. They want the blindfold stripped from Lady Justice and the scales of Justice tipped in their direction.

You mean the same BenSasse who still hasn’t called out Current White House occupant for ignoring Russian bounties on American troops, Which is more grotesque.

MoscowMitch puppet.

I think what is more grotesque is Pence and Trump refusing to agree to a peaceful transition if Trump loses.

Omg I just freaking cant with this hypothetical BS. TRUMP HAS A 420 MILLION $$ LOAN-to who They’re voting in a ‘hand maid’ when millions have voted for someone else & will remove healthcare, LBGTQ rights, women’s rights to choose, and maybe even the election. Give me a F Break

oh my, he's such a foul mouth !

Strange what the GOP labels 'grotesque' these days. Ben was perfectly fine with allowing Trump to separate breastfeeding babies from their mothers.

FACT ERROR: SenSasse represents NEBRASKA, not Nevada.

Is he the same as Nebraska senator Ben Sasse?

Nebraska?

The GOP has been packing the courts for 5 years. Talk about grotesque. Oh then there's the whole GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPComplicitTraitors TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

BenSasse pump sand! realDonaldTrump is grotesque, his admin putting kids in cages is grotesque; alleged tax fraud is grotesque, jury rigging elections & no response to bounties on our troops is grotesque; a future question/speculation on a hypothetical... BS Sasse!

Come on Sasse. You know the President, Republican or Democrat, doesn’t have the authority to increase the number of Supreme Court justices. That’s a legislative function. It’s grotesque that you failed to point that out.

F Ben Sasse and every other Republican Merrick Garland

And also no court packing is required. if the Democrats take the senate and keep the house they can move immediately to impeach and remove all three of an illegitimate presidents appointments to Scotus

It’s amazing how good Republicans are on changing the subject and putting the victim on trial they are the ones that are jamming through a supreme court justice three weeks from an election. The court packing has been done by the Republicans!

Lol.. Has ben sasse looked in the mirror and see the hypocrite staring back at him? That's grotesque!

How is Biden destroying two branches of government when trump has already done so?

I’m sure he says the same thing about what GOP has been doing for years. Gtfoh. Welcome to the 2016 game, USA Today. Gonna ask hillary about emails?

Biden may not know how he feels about it . Sasse has orange on his lips.

He didn’t just refuse he said we don’t DESERVE to know!

What is grotesque is all the body stacking up.

Hypocrisy makes fools of us all

Gee Sasse the Republicans packing the courts now is grotesque.

This is crazy! Trump has stacked over 200 Judges so far! Talk about his love for Dictators, tax frauds, Putin's bounty on Troops, Taliban, KKK, Proud Boys Supporting him. One lousy? Biden won't answer & people go insane?! STOP IT!!!!!! BrokeAssPresident

Lets talk about what happened when it comes to court packing. The only thing the GOP has is this hypothetical and hypocritical talking point. No p platform. No policies.

Unfortunately for us, in the Midwest, he's a Nebraska senator rather than a Nevada senator.

Correction - Nebraska Senator. Also, the fact that he’s making a big thing out of this when he’s made little out of the bajillion grotesque Trump statements is just silly. Sasse claimed to be a never-Trumper early on but has done nothing but fall in line since.

Merrick Garland

Sasse is a senator from Nebraska, not Nevada.

OMG! I missed the election & Biden is in office? What a nap! Good thing I voted early. Had the senator asked this question before the election, I would have had to say STFU, but good thing he waited until after, otherwise it would mean YOU are focusing on the wrong candidate.

Enemy of the people

Yeah Sasse is a traitor so there’s that!

No Ben Sasse 215,000 people dead is grotesque!! Especially since Trump and all the Republican senators knew that the virus was airborne and you never stood up and said anything.. VoteThemAllOut

Why should he answer this question ?

No, what the Republicans have done regarding the Court is grotesque

Sasse is a chump.

Ben Sasse is the Senator from Nebraska, not Nevada.

no one cares

The nerve of the GOP senator

Cover a real story!

No said the democrats are planning to add seats. This is a non-issue

This is the real story: Tax records show 200 entities funneled money to Trump properties while reaping benefits from White House: report

MerrickGarland . Republicans have been setting that precedent for 4 years now. Now's not the time to come off all high and pious just because it would no longer benefit you please. 🙄

This is nothing but GOP Distraction that’s it! They have figured out how to use the media to redirect the conversation. This is not important we are focused on winning BidenHarris2020 BlueWave

The GOP is irrelevant.

215000 reasons why you should stop with this but her emails Biden version. Just stop, media

It's really grotesque to be a Republican.

Oddly, I think the GOP ignoring Merrick Garland for nearly a year, and then trying to ram through Barrett against the will of the American people, is much worse.

Hilarious to see what finally gets Republicans riled up. Of course it’s all faux outrage, but hilarious nonetheless.

Is it cuz the Dems are gonna play nasty like the republicans have always been doing ? Poor poor republicans Don't worry u guys are safe come November cuz u guys have been so honest that there's no way there's gonna be a blue wave Right 🤤 BlueWave

Congress decides the court size

Fuck 'em.

Any journalist who again asks Biden for his position on court packing is telling you (1) he/she thought Hillary’s emails were a big deal, and (2) he/she has a small bore brain and should be doing pottery or house painting not journalism. Enough of the stupidity, please stop!

Ramming through a nominee in the middle of an election with 210,000+ dead Americans and no stimulus package for the tens of millions who are struggling is grotesque.

Blah. Blah. Blah. Where are Trump’s taxes?

Their next desperate stunt is to open old records at Justice, now that they changed the rules to allow such circuses during elections.

BenSasseIsGrotesque

Shame on this USA Today. Trump is killing people right now as we speak. Talk about McConnel packing the courts right now.

Why is there all this BS over a hypothetical question? Why is the Press helping the Trump campaign and Republicans by asking this question every damn day. Shades of 2016 where Hilary was always held to a higher standard.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂

That BenSasse . I always thought he cared more about his family than to continue supporting Donald Trump.

So it’s grotesque JOE BIDEN can say whatever it will never undo all the terrible the GOP has done

No sir, failure of Senators like yourself to rebuke this POTUS, his demeaning rant toward Senator Harris, his failed coronavirus response, his eradicate behavior, his attempt to strip away healthcare/pre-existing conditions, that’s grotesque-And so are YOU!

No, Ben. Grotesque was your 'no' vote on impeachment. Your infamy is complete. Biden's response was a calculated, political non-answer. Care to comment on Republican raison d'etre: stonewalling?

He’s the senator from Nebraska and what’s grotesque is that he’s been too cowardly to stand up to the sociopath in the White House who is destroying this country.

A court that overturns settled law that over 80% of Americans support keeping is what’s ‘grotesque’ BenSasse And to think, you were considered a ‘moderate’. What a hack.

Bullshit.

senatemajldr already did BidenHarris2020 job by stacking the courts with Lib judges disguised as Conservatives & GOP doesn't know it?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Republicans have no moral high ground here and a responsible media would give them no quarter.

Spare me the pearl clutching.

Supporting trump is grotesque!!!

Translation: 'Why didn't we think of that while we still had the White House, Senate and House?'

Not Nevada - Nebraska

Of course. He is GOP aka republican

Why is his raw stupidity and blatant hypocrisy getting any press? The only reason to report it, was to start a fight and fan the flames of dissent. Shame on you

🙄

This guy is not from NV. Nevada has 2 woman Democrats. Please fix this

I will add his name to the cauldron

Are they anticipating the loss of the presidency and both Houses of Congress?

Ben would prefer it if Biden lied like the GOP do, and then break every single promise. THAT is grotesque.

BenSasse bull yall have instead of doing American business is to stack the courts with unsuitable under qualified Judges for 4 years McConnell's blocked over 300 bills

Well Ben, if your party hadn't held up the Merrick Garland nomination back in 2016 we wouldn't be having this discussion ...

To the author of this USA TODAY article, nicholaswu12, I respectfully submit that Sen. Sasse's comment belongs among your many politician-said-this tweets, not among articles.

This is one of the reasons Sasse is a crappy senator. Biden can't expand the Court only Congress can.

Lots of people in Nevada will NOT be happy to learn that they now own Ben Sasse.

He’s not obligated to speak on the issue. The senate however was obligated to review the judicial picks of president Obama and did not. Sen Sasse forgot his voice and sense of contempt on the issue for years.

You dopes in the media fall for the repub crap every time. Do a story on McConnell's four year court packing while Trump created the chaos you couldn't get enuff of 24/7.

Speaking of grotesque, has BenSasse seen the covid oozing racist slathered in orange bronzer squatting in the White House?

Fake chaos... The repubs have asses 200 lifetime apportionments... Who's packing what.. we aren't even in charge yet !!!!... Quite being dumbasses

I say grotesque is stealing 2 seats on the SC and not giving a 'sh't that the majority of the country was against that. Both times.

215k dead and a pandemic spreading mostly unchecked. No problem for BenSasse This non-issue? Grotesque. 🙄

Got fuhck yahselffffffffff

Too dramatic and you took the bait, Ben

...and what about your flip-flop on swearing in a supreme court judge 3 weeks before an election?

How about if Joe answers that question after donald tells us who he owes $400 million to.

Who?

You frickin repubs have no right with this complaint after all the BS you do to stack the courts !

Sasse is arrogant. He must think the GOP will lose both the presidency & the Senate. Based on this prediction he thinks he is entitled to know what the future holds. He should try a fortune teller and while he’s at it, find out what stocks to buy.

CJSenate2020

Unless Sasse is a 'no' on Barrett, he's got nothing to say. SCOTUS

You are doing exactly what GOP want. Keep the focus on Biden and what he may or may not do. Start taking about all the horrible shit Trump has done and keep it in the news for more than 15 minutes. For fucks sake.

NV state senator- but not for long. Lol

SenSasse taking away healthcare for over 20 million Americans & removing the protections for people with pre-exiting conditions during a pandemic is grotesque. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

But slaughtering the Kurds and children in cages doesn't rise to the grotesque level?

Veins a weak kiss ass trump is grotesque. Not speaking and encouraging people to wear mask and social distance for their sake and others is grotesque. you certainly went the support of your constituents doing absolutely nothing for them

They’re trying to make an issue of this, because they have absolutely nothing else. Biden clearly said he wasn’t going to move the focus away from what Republicans are currently doing to the courts by answering a hypothetical. Makes sense to me.

Ugh you mean Nebraska

Ben, you doing drugs with Donald?

SenSasse & his entire anti-democracy, voter suppression party are grotesque.

Hope they add judges 5 more

Does a President have power to increase members of Supreme Court? Wouldn’t Congress have to vote on that?

Sasse would know a thing or two about grotesque, cowardly behavior. He has four years of practice, after all.

Good grief. You got his state wrong . He's from Nebraska.

USA Today, why are you allowing Kremlin-backed Republicans to drive this ridiculous non story? The grotesque part, as they, and YOU, well know, is how THEY have ruthlessly packed the courts. Let's start with the Merrick Garland story, shall we?

The GOP is the only thing that is grotesque in this country, alongside TraitorTrump FascistTrump TrumpVirusDeathToll218K

When you can’t get the basic details right ... Nebraska

Has BenSasse moved to Nevada?

Nevada and Nebraska are different states I think

Nice try, Ben.

Ben thinks it’s better to use Trump’s wizard response to such questions to keep you in suspense, “we’ll see”. Joe doesn’t need to answer With some salvo.

Sasse's party acquitting a man in January who grossly abused his office by extorting an ally into helping him smear an opponent was grotesque. Things are tough all over, Ben. Go clutch some pearls dude.

Sasse is a spineless traitor. The kind of good German who looked the other way.

And how does Sen Ben bensasse feels about Trump’s refusal to commit to a peaceful transition of power? You know, the unconstitutional thing that Trump won’t commit to...?

Don't forget his disgraceful record on race

republicansstackingthecourt

Boy they are working overtime trying to take the spotlight off of rushing through a justice. RBG wasn’t even cold and the vultures were working on it. Stole a seat from Obama. Stacking the court

Another POS Sellout

and blocking obama's nominees was not?

BenSasse If you want the real definition of grotesque, pick up a dictionary. You’ll see a picture of this asshole 👇🏼

MoscowMitch & his corruptGOP RAMMING through a grossly unpopular justice DURING an election, with INFECTED senators, chosen by an IMPEACHED president who lost the popular vote by 3 million! The real story is clear! MerrickGarland GOPHypocrisy CourtPackerMitch

1. He’s the Senator from Nebraska. 2. His sycophancy for Trump is grotesque.

MerrickGarland Hypocrite

So is fact that senatemajldr stole SCOTUS appointment from Obama. That is real stacking.

Is grotesque really the correct word to use here or are we being overly dramatic?

A President doesn’t stack the Court and that’s exactly what they’ve been doing by leaving federal court and a Supreme Court seat open hoping a Republican President would fill them. Also, Congress and not the President decide on of Supreme Court seats. So GOP and media, shut up!

Ah, I think he in Nebraska?

Its absurd for the GOP to be using this red herring considering they did pack the courts after refusing to confirm President Obama's appointments.

But Ben is ok with torturing children and genocide?

No Senator you’re the one who is grotesque!

Ben Sasse finally found his voice? Oh wait because he’s talking about Democrats... yet he has continued to let Donald Trump do grotesque things over and over with no words. They cannot be trusted. It shouldn’t matter what party they are affiliated with to SPEAK UP! But he won’t

They are so desperate they will do ANYTHING! Enough is enough!

Lol Sasse has some mf nerve.

Republicans play dirty and then whine when they think Democrats will be dirty back. What a wonderfully divisive country we are.

He’s not from Nevada.

AYFKM

😂 Ben is funny!

Too bad so sad.

Just more distracting rhetoric to take everyone's attention away from their own corrupt party's packing of the courts for the past 4 years with unqualified, hack judges. Why are you giving them so much air time, media?

The Repugnacons have already packed the court, and they're trying to continue doing it. The Court should be non-partisan.

This Sasse is another 🤡

Of all the shit the last 4 years, THAT was grotesque? Moron...

At least get the State correct Ben Sasse is from Nebraska not the Blue state of Nevada! Don't you proof these stories anymore?

CJSenate2020 Nevada senator? No wonder he’s been so elusive

lets take a look at Sasses financial records..............before we acknowledge his bs

Two WORKS Sasse Merrick Garland.

Nebraska says hi

I repeat. Go. To. Hell. You're pretending a totally legal & constitutional practice, one done multiple times in US History, some how needs more attention & scrutiny than 210k preventable dead and a President threatening the peaceful transition of power.

Hes not a Nevada Senator, get your facts straight.

SenSasse —have you commented on the impeached man’s COVID LIES? The 218,000 American deaths due to these LIES? The COVID superspreader events that have been held at the WH? The name calling? The erratic tweets?!! I didn’t think so.

Best news is this headline - Thank you, Nevada! We need a new senator for Nebraska!!!

Democrats not going to be pushed around anymore. PACK THE COURTS. Tired of of Dems have to live by a different standard, while the Gops do whatever they want. ENOUCH.

Fuck around and Find out.

Really? Then how grotesque is this 200,000 + deaths from coronavirus Covid-19 under the leadership of the current President!

Nevada?

Such total bull shit, this was their plan and what is happening. You will all go down!

Grotesque? Hahahaha! Tell me something not grotesque of Mitch and Supreme Court sits stealing since Obama

I think he didn't answer because you guys are packing the courts and the correct response would be 'not appropriate for prime time'.

Nebraska.😭😂🤣

Nebraska.

What does BenSasse have to say about MoscowMitch packing the courts by denying Obama judges and justices, and handing the vacancies to Trump? He’s an eager participant in that theft. Sasse is garbage.

You can’t fix stupid old men that likes to sniff little girls hair and there is where the word grotesque comes into play.🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️👃👃😡

Hysterical!! based on Republican actions during Obama’s presidency...

Oh shove it, Ben. You know better.

Ummmm, I live in NV - he is NOT one of our Senators. Keep up the great work, USA Today! 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Nebraska, not Nevada. No wonder we have that mango MAGAt in the WH.

Ask BenSasse about the details in the GOP platform. Oh wait -- there is no platform. They just decided to say, 'whatever Trump says on any given day, that's fine with us'.

and he doesn't find the aberration at the WH grotesque? He can shut it up as he has no sasse.

Kick this trash to the curb It is garbage day

That’s ironic because I think the last 4 years under Trump has been grotesque

🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

What's grotesque is his weak azz not standing up to tRump

tRump and Pence won't commit to a peaceful transition is what's grotesque. Fuk GOP

But grabbing his wife by the kitty while moving on her like a female canine then braging about it in the locker room is completely respectable. TrumpIsAPervert

Well GOP continues to distract. Let the attention not shift away from the nomination of SCOTUS justice by a lame-duck President when the voting is already on to oust him. DNCWarRoom Democrats

Ol Bennie the bootlicker

So this is how you make yourselves feel better about putting Barrett on the bench pick this topic to cover up your misgivings about not being fair to wait till election is over. Sorry but I'm not gonna let you do this because some of us see through your BS. This is pure Evil

Meanwhile the gop continues to pack the courts. I think 13 is a good number for the highest court in the land.

Stacking the court.... Formerly known as payback........

Isn’t he from Nebraska? Well, he should go back there and get lost in a corn field. Maybe he’d find his fvking mind and realize that someone who has enabled the most grotesque president in history, shouldn’t be throwing out the word, “grotesque” so casually.

He is NOT from Nevada. He is from Nebraska.

Y’all are really just gonna 2016 it up in this bitch, aren’t you?

Failure by GOP to have a spine is grotesque

Ben “Prince Valium“ Sasse has woken! And he has an OPINION! bensasse sensasse GOPComplicitTraitors GOPBetrayedAmerica

No I think it’s smart. If the RNC is willing to play by the rules they created he wouldn’t do it. If they play dirty e should do it!

Why is media giving this headfake so much attention? And in the face of what Republicans have done to the courts for the past 30 years? What's grotesque is GOP's corrupt efforts to concentrate and maintain power at ALL cost. BenSasse sees the writing on the wall and deflects.

These people have some balls

Biden needs to remind them that the Constitution gave that power to Congress

Did you listen to his graduation speech? SenSasse is grotesque

Yawn.

Why do we care about what SenSasse BenSasse, one of the 52 biggest Cowards in United States history, and co-sponsor of the most blant corruption in wh history, has to say?

Nebraska Senator!! I know because sadly he's my senator. sASSe

Refusing to condemn white supremacy was grotesque. Caging kids was monstrous. Ignoring COVID was murderous. And packing the court is what the GOP is doing.

BenSasse This is what you find grotesque?!

BenSasse Grotesque? Children in cages. 215,000 dead. A ravaged economy. And now you use that word? That adjective describes the GOP obeisance to this clownish President.

My vote ballot was rejected ✌🏻

You have a grotesque boss in the White House. How about that?

Hey BenSasse & GOP, tell us your alternative to the ACA healthcare plan if the Supreme Court overturns it - and we'll tell you our court packing plan.

Dear SenSasse

Merrick Garland

Such a credible news organization.... don't know the sitting senators states.

NEBRASKA

Republicans have themselves to blame for their court packing now

He's fron Nebraska. Journalism is dead.

Can’t figure why the press gives airtime to GOP bs! They are spinning, while themselves packing the court, no? Where’s the rebuttal.

Grotesque? HA! Aren’t you the tender one, SenSasse? TenderBen

Sounds like BenSasse needs a dictionary to use grotesque correctly... Cagedbabies ForcedHysterectomies GOPSuperSpreaders BlackLivesMatter SDNY Impeached RacistBirthers BlueSenate BlueWave

Ben Sasse is a clown. No one cares!

Seriously? The shenanigans with Merrick Garland and Amy Barrett are grotesque.

Just about everything his boy Trump does is grotesque.

Nevada has two female Democratic senators RosenforNevada and CatherineForNV. Ben Sasse isn’t ours.

MoscowMitchPackingTheCourts

OMFG stop giving this story air. Did Obama have to answer if he’d add SCOTUS seats? Did Trump? Did Bush? STFU.

I am more concerned with how Jared and Ivanka got their security clearances.

Hey Ben, where’s Trumps Tax Returns.

CJSenate2020 Thanks USA Today for helping us in Nebraska get rid of Sasse.Sorry Nevada.

Grotesque? Here we go: Muslim ban, lies about crowd size, touches the orb, tells Boy Scouts about hot NY parties, sleeps with a porn star, lies about sleeping with a porn star, pays off the porn star...Next up Feb 2017...

Sasse is from Nebraska.

Stop this USA Today. The GOP has been packing the courts for years. This is not a Dem thing. Stop being irresponsible journalism!!

Can’t even put the right state on the headline headline, do your homework

This is ridiculous, the GOP has been packing the court since MoscowMitch refused to confirm any of Obama’s justices

Didn’t this guy say SCOTUS seats shouldn’t be filled so close to election?

Idiot

How does he handle not seeing Trump’s taxes, health records, health care plan, Ivanka and Jared’s security clearances? What a ❄️

Are there two Beb Sasse Senators because I don't think he's from my state of Nevada. We voted most of the idiots out in the last election.

Is he looking at into a mirror

Just curious...is Ben Sasse equally disgusted by Trump's refusal to guarantee a Peaceful Transfer of Power? What about Trump's lies about Pre-X conditions? And the ACA? Or Marriage Rights? Also, what's going on with Trump's taxes?

Media needs to stop with hypotheticals and report in actual court packing and Trump’s tax evasion and profiting from the office.

Gee, usa today, you may as well ask him about Hillary's emails. Are you happy focusing on hypotheticals rather than facts? Lack of Covid leadership. Kids in cages. Corruption. Bounties on US troops. You're cool with all that?

BenSasse Yet you have no issue with your boy Trump ‘packing the court’ already? Seems hypocritical. And when you use the term ‘grotesque’....have you given any thought to all the ways your boy Trump has been & acted ‘grotesquely’ ? And you’re still ok with it?

He is from Nebraska and the GOP SenateGOP are court packing Scotus by pushing through Amy Coney Barrett with voting already in progress SenSasse FactsMatter Constitution

Republican Conservative refusal to answer questions about BountyGate is DOUBLE grotesque!!!😡

USA Today shouldn't you know Sasse is from Nebraska?

FIRST let’s talk about Trump-Pence refusal to confirm their commitment to a peaceful transfer. Then we can talk about other topics...

Not answering a question is grotesque in the face of Trump lies Remember the refusal of confirmation M Garland? That was grotesque. Republicans sitting on hundreds of bills is grotesque. BenSasse seems to have that Trump projection disease. That's grotesque.

Truly, I could give a rats ass as to what he says. He's irrelevant.

No trump is grotesque!!!!

Sasse leave Biden alone about packing that court.He don't have to tell you anything until he become PRESIDENT on Nov 3rd Trump bragged about how he PACKED the Courts.And stole Obamas pick wouldn't put it to the floor for a vote I want Biden to add 4 new seats to the Supreme Court

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

CJSenate2020 Sure

Please, is that all you got? Like the Republicans and McConnell haven’t been stacking judges the past 3 1/2 years?

Peaceful. Transition. Of. Power. 🖕

This is all they have.

SenSasse y'all say 45 has done wonderful things-- gotten the most judges installed than any president ever. Why would you think Joe won't continue that success?

This is grotesque POTUS POTUS44

no-class sasse

Nevada? Sasse is from Nebraska.

We know all about grotesque.

It’s Nebraska, but ok!

What else is he supposed to say? They are out of steam, words, arguments, platforms, policies, and integrity. Nothing left but throw out stuff like this

BenSasse what is grotesque is pushing through a Supreme Court Justice two weeks before an election. What's grotesque is supporting someone openly demolishing the Constitution and rule of law and watching 214,000 of your fellow citizens die. shutupman

And Ben Sasse can go right ahead and get fucked.

SenSasse and his GOP cohorts are nowhere to be seen during every trump act of tyranny and treason, but are suddenly front and center on the issue of balancing the playing field on SCOTUS.

Oppressive Trump Regime ‘Reps’ Obliterate Ethics, Morals & Dignity, They Denigrate & Humiliate US Democracy! Pushed Decency Out the WH Door & Down the Hill, Lie, Divide & EnDanger We, the People at Will! Be Alarmed By the Anger & Hatred, STOP FASCISTS’ Destruction of ALL SACRED!

Has BenSasse ever heard of Merrick? Merrick Garland. What a stupid thing to say Ben. Ben is from NE btw.

Grotesque.... wow what an odd use of the word. Both parties want that choice so I guess Ben is also “grotesque”.🥴

It’s Nebraska, not Nevada. I’m betting SusanPage had something to do with this glaring error.

BenSasse THIS IS GROTESQUE

Ben Sasse. Total sissy. Be wrcryoid up when it counted. Who cares what he has to say

Voooooooote the GOP out the double standard bastards.....

😂

The GOP masters of court-packing such as Sasse were ready, if Clinton had won, for the Senate to withhold approval of any justices she nominated for her entire term. The GOP has packed state & federal courts with unqualified GOP hacks for the last 5 years.

Lol, Nevada?

.BenSasse didn’t you have some ridiculously stupid permanent changes to the US Senate? Like living together in a giant dorm? Save your breath about “grotesque” lol

Ben Sasse - seriously

And rushing a Supreme Court nominee a few weeks before an election is okay by your party? I think the Dems should add Merrick Garland and Anita Hill. Let’s see the heads of members from the GOP explode!!!!!

grotesque is 1.unprotected sex with a porn star 2. Grabbing women by the pussy 3. 20+ case of alleged sexual assault 4. Hosting covid super spreader events 5. Not voting on the hero's act which was passed in May SenSasse stay in your lane!!! VOTE VoteBidenHarris

Nope, SenateGOP is grotesque.

BenSasse is projecting. I guess feeling grotesque for not having pushed back on multiple Trump outrages and atrocities is weighing on his soul. I hope he is never able to sleep again.

Joe's going to pack it to fix it. Go Joe!!!!!!!!

What’s grotesque is that your evil leader announced his intention to ram through a religious zealot an hour after the irreplaceable RBG passed and that he breached the rule he created that barred Garland. What’s even more grotesque is that u Repubs prioritized this over stimulus.

Nebraska not Nevada FYI. And what does he say about McConnell’s court packing over the past 12 years?

Tax Returns? Debt? Platform? BenSasse

Nevada?

Nevada?

Ben Sasse is the senator from NEBRASKA

Did you ask him how BenSasse felt about being hypocrites for refusing to confirm MerrickGarland ? The 100 Obama nominees MoscowMitch blocked? ButHerEmails 🙄

That's a hypothetical, Sasse. Let's count how many times Amy Coney Barrett says she won't comment on hypotheticals. Why, that's the GOP excuse du jour for not answering tough questions. GOP is so completely tone deaf to their own reprehensible behavior.

Cooked up & amplified by the billionaire controlled main stream media. It's amazing how they're all in sync w/ this lame attack on a hypothetical question. CNN MSNBC NPR NewsHour NBCPolitics ABCPolitics CBSPolitics maddow Lawrence AriMelber NicolleDWallace JoyAnnReid

I repeat, if it OK for the president to dodge questions, it's OK for Biden.

UNFOLLOW. This is tiring.

Really!? Maybe he should acknowledge how Grotesque the president and the GOO are to Rush a replacement for judge Ginsberg!!

Not Nevada

Um he’s not from Nevada? And he’s a totally hypocritical POS

As grotesque at SenateGOP not giving a hearing to President Obama's nominee? They really must think Americans are stupid. They will find out on Nov 3.

Grotesque. Thsts funny Sasse

Just kiss my entire ass!!! What about trump and Pence refusal to answer on accepting election results and committing to a peaceful transfer of power when he loses!! Demand trump answer on this!!

Lol

Nebraska*

What’s “grotesque” is the Republicans desparation trying to find any issue to make headlines against Biden. What’s really ugly is the way “Republicans” have acted for the last 45 months following Trump’s every command pushing the country to financial ruin and social division.

The Republican crime organization has been stacking the court system with corrupt, unqualified judges and this asshole is bitching about what Biden will do.

Squirrel! Let’s see tRump’s taxes. A DNA sample. His last negative COVID19 test before the last debate. TrumpCovid TaxFraudTrump BountyGate TrumpIsALoser TrumpIsARacist TrumpIsANationalDisgrace BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

Ben Sasse is from Nebraska.

So?

He’s from that other Ne state - Nebraska.

*Nebraska

Conduct unbecoming of a candidate

Nevada?

Nevada? I'm suppose to follow you when the first word is wrong?

He lost all credibility when he said Trump was innocent and should remain in office. Ben Sasse,

Hey BenSasse Now do Trump refusing to agree to a peaceful transition of power.

I'll use a favorite Republican dodge from the last 4 years. 'Sorry, don't know anything about it.'

Hypocrisy, thy name is the current GOP. My “Greatest Generation” Grandparents would never have approved. Pathetic. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

That’s what you think is grotesque?

BenSasse 'Grotesque'? What an odd choice of words. You probably don't even know what that word means!😄😄😄

This is why Joe Biden shouldn’t answer questions about packing the Supreme Court, Trump packed the Federal Courts thanks to Senate Republicans not bringing Obama’s picks to a vote

Dear media! Move on from this message. We're not taking the bait. And Ben Sasse is an idiot.

LOL!!! Useless BenSasse adds his 2 cents.

That’s rich coming from any GOPComplicitTraitors

SenSasse has called for the abolition of direct election of senators and their selection by corrupt state legislatures. He doesn’t believe in democracy. So his position favoring Republican packing of the court against the will of the vast majority of Americans is no surprise.

This isn't a real issue, drop it. And, Ben Sasse is from Nebraska, not Nevada.

NOW...NOW! After months and months and months of silence, BenSasse speaks... Naturally, one would think it would be about combatting the huge SPIKE in COVID19 in Nebraska... nope, Not ever giving a shit about Nebraska, Senator, is GROTESQUE... did Mitch ask you to speak

All this talk about packing the courts. What do you call what Trump is doing right now?

Ben Sasse is a Nebraska Senator.

Stop with helping the GOP spread their BS. It’s clearly BS. Call it for what it is, not advance it.

I dont think hes one of Nevada's senators

If anyone is grotesque it’s Trump & his nominee. Stop asking hypothetical question about packing court. Packing courts is what Moscow Mitch did for two years under Obama and Four years under Trump. I got your grotesque hanging......

Uhhhhh. Nebraska? Everything else in this headline basically follows this level of incompetence.

220,000 dead. Isn’t that enough? The gop is incapable of handling covid and they have destroyed millions of jobs as a consequence

What did Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse say?

SenSasse GOP realDonaldTrump what’s grotesque is your complicity in everything that 45 has done to the country, especially in his knowledge of a deadly virus that he withheld from the public. TrumpVirus TrumpKnew GOPEnablers GOPCowards VoteThemAllOut

Ben Sasse is an asse.....

Why should he? The Republicans dont play fair.

I’m so sick of these idiots.

BenSasse grotesque because rather than being honest and saying he isn’t going to discuss until after the election is worse than senatemajldr bragging that he took pleasure in undermining BarackObama and by doing so undermined the American people’s government? gohome

Good news for Nevada, Sasse is Senator from Nebraska and we're stuck with the fool

lol this is embarrassing USA Today. You guys sure miss the email lady don't you.

And just think, that's probably the LEAST of his sins.

Ben Sasse is grotesque.

While his party goes back on word of Obama nominee.

I think it's grotesque that we have a grifter president who breaks the law, cozies up to the evil dictators of the world, lies to the American people about a deadly virus, incites violence, props up white supremacy - and you do nothing to stop him.

Sassy is from Nebraska. alsogrotesque

Who took the SAT for Ben Sasse? Donald Trump? I don’t think he knows what the word “grotesque” means. Trump’s incompetent and callous handling of Coronavirus? Sure. Biden not getting into a hypothetical question? Try again.

Y’all ain’t gonna take this down? Cause this idiot is from Nebraska not Nevada. SenJackyRosen and SenCortezMasto are Nevada’s Senators

(Ben Sasse represents Nebraska)

STOP TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN; HORRIBLE INJUSTICES ARE ACTUALLY HAPPENING

Oh, FFS. Why is our media so goddamn stupid?

he’s seen the internal polling. GOP Senate is toast huh Ben.

Speaking of grotesque BenSasse

A) He’s a Nebraska Senator, and B) nobody gives a damn what he thinks since he’s just going to take over for Susan Collins on being “concerned” when the GOP lies, cheats, suppress the vote, etc. but votes with them every time.

Dorothy1240 Sen Sasse supports court packing but only for the GOP. How does it become “grotesque” when the Democrats simply refuse such a stupid ‘gotcha’ question?

this is what he finds grotesque? the whole pussy thing, no?

What was *grotesque* is a senate majority leader, whom you paid homage to everyday, who refused to fill over 100 judgeships under Obama. Then McConnell bragged about it as his greatest *accomplishment* It is sick devotion to power & vengeance that fuels the GOP. Vote them out now

What an odd word to use in this context 🤔

Grab by the pussy is more than Gotesque .... it is dirt and nasty... double standard is the GOP 1 thing

Sasse is from Nebraska, not Nevada... and he's been a serious disappointment from the start. Vote him out!

Yawn!!!

*Nebraska Senator (not Nevada 🙄 - very different places)

Trump nominating Barrett now is grotesque.

What's grotesque is McConnell stealing 2 Supreme Court seats. Then calling foul before Biden can even decide to do it or not

You know what's grotesque, the media not focused on what the GOP has done to the courts. Stop it!

Nevada Nebraska same difference 🙄

What’s grotesque is the news media amplifying this story.

Um, , BenSasse is from Nebraska, not Nevada. He could never get elected in the Silver State, (bc you apparently don’t know shit, the Silver State is Nevada!) how about asking a real journalism question about whether he is ok with regressives not giving Garland a vote?

Nobody cares what Sen. Ben Sasse says/thinks, irrelevant. Grotesque is 45 calling KamalaHarris a monster. Btw, Senator Harris answered the question with regards to packing the Court. They just didn't like the answer!🤨 MoveOn DeflectionNotGoingToWork

Horse hockey

Also: what is grotesque is Mitch’s admission to Hannity that the reason so many court vacancies have been filled by Trump is because *he* held them because “he was in charge of things the last two years of Obama’s presidency.” DO BETTER BenSasse

In the words of Donald Trump, 'we'll see what happens'.

Oh BenSasse speaks?!?!? 🤔What a weasel. What’s grotesque is what MoscowMitch did to Merrick Garland.

McConnell refusing to hold hearing for Obama's multiple nominations for over two years, is pretty damn grotesque to me. BenSasse

Wait, what? Isn’t Ben Sasse from Nebraska?

He should just shut up. If anyone packed the court, it has been Trump.

Nevada?

Pardon my language, but fuck Ben Sasse...all the way off. He’s backing McConnell’s hypocritical play, standing silent while Lady G turns the SC hearing into a Superspreader Event... He’s not allowed to use words he doesn’t understand...

Ben Sasse is not a Nevada Senator.

Nebraska, not Nevada, you dummies!

Double standard hypocrisy. Grotesque is stating a standard and then not following it. Gross!

Nebraska, not Nevada

Did he move?

So this is the Republican’s new campaign narrative. Spare us. You’ve ignored Trump’s refusal to answer questions and provide records for years. You’ve accepted his obvious lies on a daily basis.

Merrick Garland

Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse?

Who cares.

Cry me a River

What’s grotesque is every damn thing the GOP and Trump have done to legitimize white supremacy; tear kids away from their families at the border;pack the courts over the past FOUR years while denying Obama Merritt Garland;destroying Obama era environmental policies,to say a few.

Irrespo

When did Sasse move to Nevada?

He's not from Nevada BenSasse and every other GOP member who kept Trump in office after he was IMPEACHED and allowed him to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans are grotesque

Kiss My Sasse, Ben.

He is not from Nevada!

Ben Sasse is a colossal __________. Also a disappointment.

Nebraska

Nebraska .even that you get wrong

Question from the back... Why does an invertebrate like Sasse get to criticize anyone and be taken seriously by the media? He’s been silent to the GOP and McConnell norm-busting of the judiciary for the past 8 years.

Nevada doesn't claim this one.

Help us help you ! ....

Who ? Sasse is a fucking fraud

Republicans have been court packing for years and NOW they think it’s wrong? Dems will rebalance the courts after republicans packed them for years. Ba bye Bennie

Just another wave of the red flag to distract us from the real issues. Trump is a national security risk. He is inciting domestic terrorists, he repeatedly broke the Hatch Act. He is using his office for personal gain, etc.This is like asking the abused to apologise to the abuser

Nebraska. Also Mitch and GOP been packing those courts for 6 years. Learn it.

Thi

He pretends to be thoughtful and then sides with the party.

Does not matter , too small a problem, lets solve this chaos and health crisis first . Step 1 vote trump out , step 2 get a cure , step 3 economy back , step 4 whatevers clever... as long as our lives in the world is not on risk ... duhhh

we all know packing is coming.

BenSasse Look up the word feckless. See your picture.

Um no. I mean yeah, he is a joke, but he is not one of ours. We have SenJackyRosen and SenCortezMasto. Ben Sasse is Nebraska, not Nevada. Do better. Also - VOTE

The guy who voted to confirm all of Trump's unqualified judicial candidates? The guy who's ready to ram through a SCOTUS appointment that should wait until after the election? That guy is mouthing off about Biden? Yeah, grotesque.

Ben Sasse Who is he to say ANYTHING?

BenSasse is it as grotesque as being responsible for over 200,000 deaths from willful incompetence and ignorance?

Republicans doing what they do so well - accusing others of doing what they themselves are guilty of. If he weren't Donald Trump's bitch BenSasse would remember when he declared Merrick Garland's nomination 'dead on arrival' before lecturing Joe Biden on political expediency.

No, it wasn't. It was refusing to fall into a trap laid by the Republicans. If the Republicans insist on tilting the court to the ultra-conservative side of the equation, the Democrats and, if elected, President Biden will have no choice but to expand the court.

*cough, Nebraska

Sad really. Its time has come and gone long ago...

BenSasse I have seen jellyfish in S Padre with more spine than what you will ever have.

Do you know what grotesque the Republican party being an Accomplice and enabler of Donald Trump as he destroys every agency we have we will vote them all out

missionisgreat Nevada can have Sasse. I will hold my nose and vote for him though. GBR!

Here we go, a GOP talking head projecting their weakness on a good man like Joe. You know what’s really grotesque? Ben’s voting record! He helped keep tRump in office so 200,000+ Americans could die of Covid. GOPmafia

you misspelled Nebraska

What a joke. Merrick Garland being stonewalled was not grotesque and extra-constitutional. Get rid of him Nebraska. You are better than this.

He has supports Donald Trump for years. Spare us the ‘grotesque’ talk.

Fuck SenSasse

This is not news, this is repeating a GOP talking point!! Report on how the GOP/McConnell has packed the courts with VERY conservative and in some cases ABA unqualified candidates. Report facts not conjecture.

The desperation is palpable

Should we care what you think? You won’t be around long enough to learn your name. Shoooo

The writer was better off saying Ben Sass, Senator

Thankfully he is indeed NOT a Nevada senator.

Um Trumps covid 19 exposure to staff and guests was grotesque and illegal.

Oh, the standup philosopher.

Quit this shit.

Maybe it doesn’t matter but he’s from Nebraska, not Nevada. Also who cares what he thinks.

::laughing::

Oh please trump is grotesque especially if you are female. Politicians have take over as the worst type of person ever. They don’t see at all what their side is doing but nit pick the shit out of the other side. No wonder a lot of them are lawyers, the other sad profession

Sasse is from Nebraska

He's a Nebraska senator unfortunately

Unfortunately large man child SenSasse is from Nebraska

Trump lied 20,000 times and 200,000 are dead. That's grotesque BenSasse

Who cares about this tiny little man who had nothing to say about ANY of the Trump administration abuses of power? He has made himself inconsequential to our national dialog, and has completely forfeited any pretense to morality, dignity, patriotism, or civility. He is a fake.

Lol

Fun fact: BenSasse is another Trump Fluffer too scared to stand up for himself

The hypocrisy is real.

do i care? Nope

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Nevada

No, it's not. He refuses to add an item to his already stated agenda just to benefit the GOP.

How long did BEN Gonna bend over on trump

Nebraska*

nah this is grotesque

Okkkkkay. That’s nothing compared to what realDonaldTrump has done for the past 4 years. Wah.

Another half assed statement from a republican who often misses the point.

Aww. Just like your face?

BenSasse no balls Sasse coming out of from hiding.

Useless racist BensAsse didn't say this about Trump's Access Hollywood tape or COVID response.

Huh...

He’s from Nebraska not Nevada.

The GOP are grotesque

Ask McConnel about stacking the Court’s

Isn’t Sasse in Nebraska?!

That is ridiculous. Mitch McConnell has been packing the court for 6 years. Cover that. Also cover all the starving Americans.

We have wildly different definitions of grotesque Mr. BenSasse

Ahhhh more projection ... Can they just start putting antipsychotics in candy dishes for djt & fellow sufferers

Why is this even in the news. Republicans packed the courts already with ultra conservatives

I don’t think he knows what that word means. 215k dead is grotesque. Children separated from parents and placed in cages is grotesque. Mitch McConnell is grotesque.

LOL! What's grotesque are these mollusks selling themselves to donors. McConnell has OPENLY bragged about how he stopped Obama's nominations, WITH people like Sasse's assistance and are now disregarding their own rules to pack one more ... and he whines about what Biden might do!

He’s from Nebraska.

Is He Another Trump Enabler TurnTheSenateBlue2020

This is what senatemajldr and the lying GOP did —refusing to confirm judges during Obama 8 years leading to theft of 2 SC seats and 1,000s of others in the Federal Judiciary.

You mean worse than willing to accept the outcome of the election like Trump has yet to do? And you ignore the actual court packing right under your nose. Please, BenSasse take a seat.

I’m sure Biden couldn’t care less of Ben Sasse and his posturing

Oh please!!! The fucking nerve of these republicans!!! Court packing with the most unqualified judges in history is exactly what the republicans have been doing for the last 4 years.

*Nebraska

Now that’s surely the pot calling the kettle...

NJLefty67 FU! McConnell, trump and the GOP have been packing the courts for three years.

Ummmm....WHAT?!!! These people are really crazy!

GOP and McConnel have been openly, blatantly and unapologetically COURT PACKING since 2014. But sure...let’s make Biden answer that question. Hypocrites!!

You are the ones packing the courts with right wing nut jobs

Nebraska

Who cares what Nevada Senator BenSasse says. Maybe if you had a quote from the Nebraska version I would listen

But Trump refusing to say if he'd leave WH if he lost was OK?

😂

Great reporting sure your a great news source he isn’t a Nevada senator idiots!

Maybe BenSasse needs to pay better attention to realdonaldtrump to understand what the word grotesque means.

Grotesque was what senate republicans did to Obama and the constitution.

Gosh, maybe he should think this through before voting on ACB.

BenSasse Give me a break. This President won’t commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses. THAT is grotesque.

supporting tRump destroy USA is grotesque

This guy puts the ‘ass’ in Sasse.

Ben Sasse is another Susan Collins demonstrating that the Senate needs to go Blue. It is not up to Biden to expand the Supreme Court it is up to Congress. Where was he when they stole the Garland vote? Grotesque is also bad English that is incorrect whatever it is he means.

GOP refuses over 100 judges from Obama-you pack the courts and accuse Biden -typical lies from Republicans 😡it’s why no one is voting for you

Critical

BenSasse Man, the GOP just can't quit putting their foot in their big mouths. I'm sure Ben just overlooked all the 'grotesque' things that the criminal occupying the WH has done for the last 4 yrs. SMH! These guys just never miss a chance to make complete fools of themselves.

Anyone who defends, supports, aligns with, enables, protects, votes for, donates to, befriends, prays for, explains, fights for, and is willing to die for Trump is GROTESQUE!

Funny

Very unimpressed with you senator

Dear Media, Stop making this an issue. You are repeating 2016. Just stop.

Really Shut up BenSasse

A bluff isn’t “All Tools” : Articulate response to an Opposition that has “Cemented the Court” : McConnell/McGahn/Trump Admin.

USA Today - you might want to learn your state abbreviations because NE isn’t Nevada...

The GOP has no credibility. Please sit this one out and watch your party get humiliated this November!

Oh please!

Geography is hard.

Ben Sasse is grotesque

To be fair, his dementia riddled mind might have forgotten which he was for.

When did Sasse move to Nevada?

Nebraska

Somebody get Ben Sasse a word-a-day calendar. (cc: BenSasse)

Hahaha

when did trump last test negative

As a Nebraska, fuck BenSasse
