“Nebraska U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn (I), after weeks of leaked recordings, now faces what his critics call a potential ‘deplorables’ moment after a fresh recording surfaced of him talking about what motivates some supporters of President Donald Trump,” the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Said Osborne: “Billy Bob in fucking Red Cloud, Nebraska, who lives next to the fucking Trump store as you pull into town and is waving the flag, all he knows is that he’s on the winning team. It’s really that simple. And Trump… that’s why he’s been so effective.”
He added: “He’s been so effective at taking Billy Bob and his wife Mary Jane or Mary Jo and telling them … you’re on the winning team. And that’s all they care about, because their lives probably suck so fucking bad.”
CNN: Dan Osborn explains leaked audio of him saying some Trump voters’ lives probably suck: “We’re all angry right now.”
