Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse denied Donald Trump’s claim Wednesday that the Republican senator has “hatred” for the likely GOP presidential nominee.
“I do not hate you. I simply asked you some actual questions,” Sasse, a first-term senator, tweeted in response to Trump’s interview on Fox News.

The Tea Party-aligned politician has criticized the New York businessman throughout his 11-month campaign. Trump, who understood Sasse’s concerns to be critiques, pushed back Wednesday, saying comments from Sasse and others embraced a “a level of hatred [that] was incredible.”
Sasse responded with five questions for Trump, reiterating questions he has asked in previous Twitter rants.
