Crack in the GOP wall

"China should start an investigation into the Bidens,” Trump said in front of cameras on the South Lawn of the White House.

The president added that he had not explicitly asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to open an investigation, but that it’s “certainly something we can start thinking about.”

[...]

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) pushed back strongly on Thursday night [...] .

"Hold up: Americans don’t look to Chinese commies for the truth. If the Biden kid broke laws by selling his name to Beijing, that’s a matter for American courts, not communist tyrants running torture camps," Sasse said in a statement to the Omaha World-Herald.

In this case, American over-the-top anti-Communism perhaps helps us.
Sasse, who is up for reelection next year, also knocked House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's (D-Calif.) handling of the House investigation, comparing it to a "partisan clown show in the House."

"That’s his right because the Constitution doesn’t prohibit clown shows, but fortunately, in the Senate, we're working to follow the facts one step at a time," Sasse said.

The Senate Intelligence Committee, which Sasse is a member of, is running a separate investigation into the whistleblower complaint tied to Trump's actions toward Ukraine.

Sasse previously said the whistleblower complaint contained "real troubling things" and that Republicans "ought not just circle the wagons."
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
