Nebraka Governor Pete Ricketts renews his call for state Senator Bill Kintner to step down in light of yet another controversy erupting around the senator.
Kintner re-tweeted a Tweet which mocked participants in the Women’s March in Washington who used a vulgarity President Trump used in a 2005 video.
Ricketts says his stance on Kintner hasn’t changed.


Ricketts called on Kintner to resign after it came to light the senator had used a state-owned laptop computer to engage in cyber-sex during a business trip.
State Senator Matt Hansen of Lincoln took to the legislative floor to address the issue. .

Hansen condemned the action and says he looks forward to when the Legislature can have a “fuller discussion” on Sen. Kintner and his behavior.
