Shots fired: Sen. Ben Sasse tells pro-infanticide pols like Ralph Northam to 'get the hell out of public office'

Democratic politicians haven’t really weighed in on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s repugnant pro-infanticide argument today, but for what it’s worth, Republicans aren’t nearly as reluctant to comment.

Sen. Ben Sasse is leading the charge:

.@SenSasse statement on Northam’s interview: “This is morally repugnant. In just a few years pro-abortion zealots went from ‘safe, legal, and rare’ to ‘keep the newborns comfortable while the doctor debates infanticide.’” /1

.@SenSasse statement on Northam’s interview (cont’d): “I don’t care what party you’re from — if you can’t say that it’s wrong to leave babies to die after birth, get the hell out of public office.” /2

A-freakin’-men.

Meanwhile:

The offices of Virginia’s senators, @timkaine and @MarkWarner, have yet to respond to my request for comment on the state Democrats’ new abortion bill in Virginia.
