Apparently if you ask Donald Trump a question he doesn’t like, it means you hate him. From the presumptive Republican nominee’s interview with Sean Hannity last night:
Trump on Ben Sasse:
"The level of hatred was incredible."
— Teddy Schleifer (@teddyschleifer) May 19, 2016
Sasse’s response:
Mr @realDonaldTrump
RE: your @seanhannity interview:
I do not hate you. I simply asked you some actual questions.

Sasse’s comments last night come even after Nebraska delegates reprimanded the senator for his talk of supporting a 3rd party challenger to Trump:

Congrats to #Trump hater, @BenSasse!

And some Republicans are still hoping Sasse will himself challenge Trump, although he has said previously that he’s not interested in running this year:
