Senator John Thune previously denounced Trump for role in Capitol attack in 2021 but now vows to back him in 2024 election
The second-highest ranking Republican in the US Senate, John Thune of South Dakota, endorsed for president Donald Trump – the man he previously called “inexcusable” for seeking to overturn the 2020 election and inciting the deadly January 6 attack on Congress.
Multiple media outlets reported Thune’s endorsement. They also swiftly pointed out statements made by Thune after the 2021 US Capitol attack, now linked to nine deaths, more than 1,200 arrests and hundreds of convictions, some for seditious conspiracy.
Huh. Trump sure has a lot of dirt on these people.
Nah, that ship has sailed. Now they know their lives will be in danger from his cult if they don’t lick his boots.
It’s probably just that, without the support of Trump’s fans, he loses a huge portion of his base in votes and fundraising potential
Also the violence, don’t forget the violence! Trump controls a cult that will unleash chaos on anyone that opposes their leader.
It’s South Fucking Dakota, who the fuck else is there to vote and to vote for? And he’s a senior senator - he could just drop out and sit on his cushy retirement on his ranch (I’m assuming he has a ranch because, well, don’t they all?)
Look at what happened to Liz Cheney. She dared to speak out against the Orange One and she got primaried. They all know it could happen to them too. Trump owns the Republican party lock, stock and barrel.
There’s always a crazier fish
