GREENWOOD, NE — Former President Donald Trump and more than 3,000 of his fans brought his 2020-focused roadshow to Nebraska on Sunday, where Trump defended GOP gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster from groping allegations by eight women.
Trump has supported Herbster in Nebraska's May 10 Republican governor's primary race against University of Nebraska Regent Jim Pillen and State Sen. Brett Lindstrom.
Although, Trump spent the majority of the hour and 40-minute speech discussing his own loss to President Joe Biden. Additionally, he attacked two Republican elected officials from Nebraska.
Trump called U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse a “gnat” who was good to him for two years, when Sasse needed an endorsement to win re-election, but he said Sasse showed his true self afterward. Trump called 2nd District Rep. Don Bacon “bad news” and asked Nebraskans not to vote for him again.
Trump, Herbster, and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell criticized the Nebraska political establishment generally, without naming anyone specifically.
“The establishment has taken over … the Nebraska Republican Party,” Herbster said. “They’re trying to scare me out of the race. It’s not going to work.”
Trump tried to give Herbster cover against the allegations of groping. Herbster is “the last person to do any of this stuff,” Trump said.
