The chairman of Iowas GOP slammed Republican Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Wednesday, calling the senator an arrogant academic.

We had Senator Ben Sasse from Nebraska, he crosses the Missouri River, and in that sanctimonious tone talks about what he doesnt like about Donald TrumpDonald TrumpTrump: I didnt record Comey conversations Trump-Modi talks can aid breakup of burdensome barriers to India trade Trump doesn't have Comey tapes: report MORE,GOP state chairman Jeff Kaufmann said during President Trumps campaign-style rally in Cedar Rapids.

Sasse, who is a vocal critic of President Trump, is set to speak at a local Republican Party dinner in two weeks.

Kauffman went on to say Sasse only holds sway in Congresss upper chamber because the Republicans are in the majority.

Hes an arrogant academic, Kauffman said in an interview after Trumps event.

Hes sanctimonious. His statements are geared toward what can helphim. Hes arrogant. And hes not a team player, when in reality the only reason hes got any clout at all in the Senate is because the Republican Party has the majority, he continued.

The Hill has reached out to Sasse for comment.
