Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse asked Rep. John Lewis, who has said he will not view Trump as a “legitimate president,” to reconsider his intention of skipping the inauguration:
To John Lewis, one of my heroes:
Please come to the Inauguration. It isn't about a man. It is a celebration of peaceful transfer of power.

Anti-Trump warrior Keith Olbermann took exception to Sasse’s appeal to Rep. Lewis:
Well, Senator, if you're endorsing a peaceful transfer of power from this country to the Russians, then go fuck yourself. https://t.co/eskRf0wes3

Well, that escalated quickly:
Is it possible for folks to disagree without spite? (I still think you hold the crown as best SportsCenter host, fwiw.) https://t.co/uAEWedkmQB

And also, Olbermann will never refer to Trump as “president.”
It's definitively not possible for @KeithOlbermann to disagree without spite. We have 30 years of data on this.https://t.co/0kiIRszpzJ
