OMAHA, Neb. — U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska is pushing back against some fellow Republicans who want the state party to formally censure him for his outspoken criticism of President Donald Trump after the U.S. Capitol riot.

Sasse said party activists are “hacked off” that he condemned Trump's statements to a crowd just before the riot and that he isn't “bending the knee to one guy.” He also pointed to his voting record as one of the most conservative members of the U.S. Senate. . Trump later endorsed Sasse, saying he had done a “wonderful job” representing Nebraska. But a year later, he called on Republicans to replace the senator after Sasse criticized him again.Nebraska Republican Party Executive Director Ryan Hamilton said the party's state central committee will decide whether to censure Sasse by a membership vote.

“I think a dialogue would be a better approach,” Ricketts said. “That’s what I would encourage people to do.”
