No, Senator Sasse Did Not Join Democrats for Gun Control Filibuster

Breitbart reported Thursday that Nebraska senator Ben Sasse crossed the aisle to join Democrats in their filibuster this week for gun control laws. As media outlets go, Breitbart is solidly in the tank for Donald Trump, and Sasse has been the leading Republican critic of Trump in the Senate, so it shouldn’t be surprising that this report is categorically false.

Sasse merely asked a question during the filibuster, which is hardly the same thing as endorsing it. Over at RedState, Caleb Howe has a good report setting the record straight.
