Ben Sasse is the high school history teacher who only took the job because he wants to coach the basketball team and gives all the black kids Cs because they wrote about slavery on their final paper without mentioning Abraham Lincoln.
@ElieNYC Holy shit, that’s accurate. Also: Why does every high school in America DO that‽
@ElieNYC When elected he looked around to see which lion of the senate he should emulate and chose Jeff Flake
@ElieNYC As always you are right on the money. That’s so sasse.
@ElieNYC Ben Sasse is the Susan Collins of Lisa Murkowskis.
@ElieNYC Nailed it
@ElieNYC I always thought he was the high school history teacher who got his teaching credential because he failed the Bar exam the first time, & got stuck coaching basketball b/c he was "the new guy." The prejudice is probably ingrained.
@ElieNYC Spot on!
@ElieNYC It's been a joke for years that Sasse's favorite rock band is Nickleback. Thing is, it fits.
