Senator blasts alt-right leader Richard Spencer on Twitter: 'Get a real job, clown!'

By MARK OSBORNE • Sep 29, 2017, 6:40 AM ET

Sen. Ben Sasse isn't a pro at the mechanics of using Twitter, but he sure tapped into the site's zeitgeist by unloading a string of 11 tweets at "clown" Richard Spencer Thursday evening.

The Republican from Nebraska responded aggressively to a tweet from Spencer, who took issue with Sasse saying Russian President Vladimir Putin loved American in-fighting.

Spencer called Sasse a "goober conservative."

The remark set off Sasse, a frequent target of far-right conservatives, who said everyone could agree "racists like you" are to blame for racism.

spencer is a singular piece of cowardly shit. The republicans must be getting worried about
the growth of these bastards for Sasse to pay attention to it.
