\u201cSen. Kerrey lives his life defending our country and freedom of speech.

Kerrey\u2019s words.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSen. Kerrey put his life on the line to defend our American values,\u201d Kleeb said. \u201cWe realize the Nebraska GOP\u2019s new executive director just moved here from Las Vegas, but going after a veteran and Medal of Honor recipient is not a smart way to start out his tenure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
