THE CORNHUSKER KICKBACK: How the Ricketts dynasty purchased a US Senate seat in Nebraska

This is blatant corruption of the highest order. Blagojevich was sent to prison for years for just trying to sell Obama's senate seat. This was full on in your face selling of a senate seat.

The Post Millennial

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen announced on Thursday the appointment of his predecessor, Pete Ricketts, to the US Senate, filling a vacant seat left by former Senator Ben Sasse. Pillen was Ricketts’ hand-picked successor as governor and spent lavishly to support his campaign in the primary against Trump-endorsed candidate Charles Herbser.

I'm genuinely at a loss as to why the leftist aren't losing their minds over this. You would think it would be a perfect distraction from Biden's Corvette garage SCIF boondoggle.

This is grotesque corruption, I don't care what side is perpetrating it.

Yikes! This evokes a very unpleasant image... politically speaking.

I look forward to any 'different ways' the politicians will describe it. Just 'cause I like to watch them tap dance.

I'm dumbfounded that this is just being swept under the rug.

I'll have to look into Ricketts donations to democratic PACs and politicians.
