Herbster. At a political event in 2019, Herbster sexually mocked me while greeting my table. “That was the night Herbster grabbed Sen. Julie Slama aggressively,” Tonzen said. “This decision to tell my story was extremely difficult because of my fear of being influenced by Charles W. Herbster, a strong voice in Nebraska politics. “But since I’ve been thinking about it for years, I know it’s time for Nebraska residents to learn about the horrific actions of Charles W. Herbster.” Todsen called Nebraska Sen.

Herbsters with ties to Governor Rickets unleashed this heinous slanderous attack on him. “These are the desperate tactics of a failed political campaign aimed at offsetting the uninspired and liberal candidate Jim Pillen,” he said in a statement. “Charles W. Herbster has already filed a lawsuit against one of the individuals named in the petitions and will take legal action against the others. “He will not stop fighting until his name is cleared and he is vindicated,” he added.
