We have long warned about South Dakota Senator John Thune’s disloyalty to MAGA. Following President Trump’s election victory, Senator Thune demanded that President Trump stay out of the Senate GOP Leadership race. The Senate GOP will hold an election on November 13th to select a new leader. The establishment wing of the Senate GOP hopes they can retain power with South Dakota Senator John Thune winning the Senate leadership fight. Senator Thune has a long history of anti-Trump statements while also serving as Mitch McConnell’s lapdog. Thune also has a disturbing history of embracing open borders. In 2019, Thune told CNN he was against President Trump declaring a National Emergency to build the border wall. Trump was forced to declare a National Emergency to build the wall after Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer refused to pass any bill in Congress that would fund wall construction. Senator Thune has also come out against President Trump’s statements about illegal immigrants destroying America, telling CNN, “My grandfather’s an immigrant, so that’s not a view I share.” The United States Senate confirms judges and presidential appointments. The Senate’s confirmation power is why it is critical that John Thune not become the next Senate GOP Leader.
When asked by MSNBC about President Trump’s endorsement power in the upcoming Senate GOP Leadership race, South Dakota Senator John Thune said, “I think it’s probably in his (Trump’s) best interest to stay out of that.”
It is interesting that Senator Thune believes that Trump should stay out of the Senate GOP Leadership race, considering that the Senate GOP Leader is key to confirming Trump’s appointees and judges.
Sadly, John Thune has a long history of making anti-Trump remarks. On October 8, 2016, Thune wrote on his X account, “Donald Trump should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately.”
John Thune also made horrific comments about President Trump’s 2020 election integrity efforts by saying Trump’s efforts to secure the 2020 election will go down like a “shot dog.”
It is important to note that Senator Thune is also a supporter of open borders. Following then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer’s obstruction in Congress to fund President Trump’s wall construction, Trump was forced to declare a national emergency to secure the funds to build the wall. Most GOP members of Congress supported President Trump’s national emergency declaration. South Dakota Senator John Thune was the exception, telling CNN that he did not support President Trump’s efforts to declare a national emergency to build the wall, saying, “Frankly, I’m not crazy about going down that path. Inevitably, I suspect it probably gets challenged in court.”
Senator Thune has also come out against President Trump’s statements about illegal immigrants destroying America, telling CNN, “My grandfather’s an immigrant, so that’s not a view I share.”
President Trump needs an America First Senate GOP Leader to ensure MAGA’s policies can be fully implemented if John Thune can’t be trusted to lead on the critical issues of immigration and loyalty to Trump. Thune can’t be trusted to lead on anything else.
