🚨 JOHN THUNE IS A COWARD: Asked why he wanted the job again with so many people angry at him, Thune said, "I love the fight."
Then he told Bret to "Stay off social media."
He "loves the fight" but wouldn't force one on VOTER ID. Wouldn't force one on the SAVE America Act. Wouldn't codify a single DOGE cut.
A man who loves the fight doesn't run from every one of them.
That's not a leader. That's a COWARD.
🚨 WATCH THUNE ON THIS ONE: Asked if he'd deliver Republican votes for an immigration deal with the Democrats, John Thune wouldn't rule it out.
"It would depend."
He admits the Senate blew this up THREE times before, and "the wheels came off" every time.
President Trump SECURED the border. He's also said NO amnesty.
Thune can't pass voter ID, but somehow he's open to a deal with Schumer? Watch him closely.
Eight transgender Democrats were elected in the midterms… 8.
If you needed another example of just how out of touch Democratic voters have become, there it is.
🚨 THUNE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW: Told that roughly 700 House-passed bills are sitting in the Senate, the Senate Republican Leader had no idea.
"I don't know the answer to that. Is it? It could be."
That's his JOB. Count the bills. Move the bills.
Then came the excuse: "You love to send stuff to the Senate and blame the Senate."
Yeah, John. Because that's where it all goes to die.
🚨 SPARE US, JOHN: President Trump told the Senate to vote on ALL pending legislation, including the judges.
Thune's calendar had them OUT 31 days and in session just 21.
NOW he promises to "extend the calendar" and finally move judges and nominations.
Two years of "we don't have the votes." One brutal election. And suddenly he's ready to work?
Nobody believes you, John. Your record already told us who you are.
🚨 THUNE TRUSTS THE DEMOCRATS: Asked if Democrats will gut the filibuster once they take over, John Thune said this:
"I've had conversations with Democrats that say we are not going there."
He wouldn't use the power when Republicans had it.
Now he's counting on Democrats to keep their word.
Republicans got nothing. Democrats get the Senate. And Thune gets a pinky promise.
🚨 THUNE SURRENDERS IN ADVANCE: Asked why he didn't force a talking filibuster fight on the SAVE America Act, John Thune said this:
"I don't know how we force that fight on the floor."
He had 53 votes for VOTER ID. He wouldn't even try.
And now he's praising the filibuster for protecting the minority, "which we are now going to appreciate, because we will be that minority."
He's already comfortable LOSING. That's the problem!
