Ben Sasse: ‘We Need to Have a President Who Celebrates the First Amendment’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SASSE: “I've got to admit, I don't follow the rallies closely but I believe the First Amendment is the beating heart of the American experiment. We need to have a president who celebrates the First Amendment and not pretends that beating up a reporter is okay. What you hear from nebraskainform S who also tune out most of the rallies is that there's a short term, long-term thing going on and feel that the president's rhetoric is short-term playful. I don't think it's okay but I think most people tune most of it out. I think what he -- we need to be having a conversation about is the American experiment, because right now we don't have much shared sense of what it is.”
