Sen Sasse: "People are gonna have to choose if they're for the circus clown, or ... the Constitution"

Sen. Ben Sasse: "I'd like Republicans to win elections again. Unlike the way this guy's made sure my party could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in 2018, and in 2020, & again in 2022. People are gonna have to choose if they're for the circus clown, or … the Constitution."
