Osborn confirms audio
Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn confirmed leaked audio where he said Trump supporters have lives that 'suck so f, -ing bad'.
“Billy Bob in f, -ing Red Cloud, Nebraska, who lives next door to the f, -ing Trump store as you pull into town and is waving the Trump flag … all he knows is he’s like on the winning team”
Osborn calls it out of character
Osborn said the audio sounded 'out of character' for him but he would apologize if offended.
“It sure sounds like me, but it certainly does sound out of character for myself”
Osborn explains context
He claims the audio discussed disenfranchised Trump voters who feel the political system is broken.
“I talked to a lot of Trump voters and … I’m talking about people are pissed off, people are disenfranchised”
Osborn's funding source
Osborn's campaign is funded by left-wing groups despite running as an independent candidate.
“The state is made up of 50% Republicans, 26% Democrat, 24% independents”
Opponent's response
Incumbent Sen. Pete Ricketts called Osborn's comments disrespectful to hardworking Trump voters.
“I've been to Red Cloud. I've been to every corner of Nebraska. The people Dan Osborn is mocking are the hardest-working people in America”
Osborn's strategy
He plans to appeal to Republicans by distancing himself from progressive issues.
“How am I going to do that by f, -ing saying, ‘Oh, I love trans people, and they should be able to play in sports?’”
The one thing
Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn admitted on CNN he said Trump supporters have lives that 'suck so f, -ing bad' but claims it was a misstatement about disenfranchised voters.
