GOP senator calls book labeling him among Trump's enemies 'pretty warped'
BY BRETT SAMUELS - 11/25/18 09:53 AM EST
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Sunday responded to a new book from two former Trump advisers that labeled him and other GOP senators as "enemies of the president," saying he believes most Americans believe that level of criticism is "weird."
"Republics aren’t healthy when people use words like treason about policy debates. That’s a pretty messed up worldview," Sasse said on "Fox News Sunday."
Sasse was asked about a new book from former Trump campaign advisers Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie titled "Trump's Enemies." The two men accuse Republicans like Sasse, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) of undermining the president. All three men have frequently criticized Trump.
"I haven’t seen their book yet… but language about enemies and treason about policies and politics is pretty warped, and I think most Americans think it's weird," said Sasse, who was on the show to discuss a book of his own about political tribalism.
