This is hot off the press.. Instead of running his own Indy/Liberal/Dem whatever race for US Senate, Brian Bengs apparently feels the need to go to Washington DC to defend Nebraskan Dan Osborn who is doing the same thing:
A man came up and heckled Osborn, asked why he had called Nebraskans an expletive (this is a family X account)
Bengs stepped in between them https://t.co/rl3lbuLpOM

Why Does Dan Osborn need to be defended by Bengs? It might have been something that Osborn said..
But in a newly released recording, Osborn appears to describe a very different strategy: Say what he needs to say to win a Republican-heavy state, then govern according to the positions he has kept off the campaign trail.
“I can go and I can be the voice for LGBTQ and immigration and all of these issues. Then I lose the election,” Osborn said in the recording obtained by Townhall. “It feels good in the moment. At the end of the day, I’m gonna win this election. And then I’ll be the senator for six years and everybody else can f-off.”
Read (and listen) to this here.
Strangely, this seems to feel familiar in the South Dakota US Senate Race, where Bengs appears to be shifting his platform on things he was running on in the last election.
Here’s more of the video..
The person who was questioning Bengs was apparently displeased over Osborne referring to Nebraskans in less than Senatorial language.
This whole episode is weird, because it seems to have Bengs declaring he wants to be part of a third-party caucus along with the other two characters. And then going after someone who questioned him.
Just another reason to not vote Bengs. What a loser.
The Daily Wire? Didn’t realize they were still in operation.
Good for Mr. Bengs. These kinds of bullies deserve to get their teeth relocated. It’s nice to see a candidate with guts enough to at least tell them to pound sand. Maybe he’ll be able to stand up to certain other red-hatted bullies…
Agree.
Campaigns with too much money to burn often send out hecklers to stalk their opponents, trying to get a reaction. Maybe Bengs should have been a little more restrained. But, then again, maybe that loudmouth deserved a chewing out.
Also agreed. Bengs has my vote.
Osborn has zero chance of winning Nebraska’s Senate seat!
Desperation kicking in

I just glanced at the last three Nebraska Senate polls and two resulted in a four point lead for each candidate and the third was a tie. But you declare that Osborn has “zero chance”.
Your math skills are a bit weak.
Earlier, you called Covid a hoax. So, I think it’s time for you to admit that you really don’t know what you are talking about.
Covid was a Hoax and Ricketts will pull democrats his way. Just like he did when he was governor, and again when he was elected to the Senate. His father is J. Joe Ricketts, who started Ameritrade and the family owns the Chicago Cubs. Worth Billions ( will easily outspent crazy Osborn ) and people in Nebraska outside of Omaha metro will vote Republican.
I was born and raised in Omaha till I enlisted in the military! People in Nebraska do not like Independents. Osborn was soundly defeated by rhino deb fisher as they would rather have a rhino than a independent!
Now is this really banging bengs trying to tell me about Nebraska where I have a large family base?
Osborn is a huge supporter of lgbtq, which outside of Omaha metro people don’t!
Now move along confused brian!

Oh… WERE YOU IN THE MILITARY?
