We haven’t covered this yet, but Ben Sasse is retiring from Congress to take a position as president of the University of Florida. He doesn’t have the job yet, but he’s the only candidate in the running. There have been protests all week, and Fox News decided to talk to some students about why “alt-right guy” Sasse would be a danger to the university.
Again, this is Ben Sasse we’re talking about.
via @FoxNews, @UF students say @BenSasse as president would be "a danger to our university"

My favorite is the guy who describes Ben Sasse as "kind of an alt-right guy"
I think the first thing Ben Sasse should do is raise the standards for admission at UF. https://t.co/FRCKUePO18

Ben Sasse about to learn a hard lesson. Even when you are the most vanilla barely Republican, Republican, these people will still hate you with everything they have.
