An interesting bit from Jonah Goldberg’s podcast, The Remnant. Goldberg puts Sasse on the spot by asking whether he’ll be following the lead of his libertarian-ish colleagues in the Senate -Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and most recently Ted Cruz- by endorsing Roy Moore, who’s as far from libertarian as a Republican can get.
