Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats' attempted delay antics over the last seven-plus days were absurd.

Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats spent this weekend trying to delay the #SCOTUS vote --unsuccessfully, I might add, and with no dispute over Judge Amy Coney Barrett's obvious qualifications. The Senate will perform its constitutional duty today & Democrats can't stop that." Sen. John Thune

Oct. 20, 2020 Tweet - "Do Democrats truly want to provide relief to the American people, or do they just want to keep this as a political issue?

Oct. 17, 2020 Tweet - "Enjoyed this amazing event at the Eagles Gallery in Pierre yesterday. South Dakota has always punched above its weight when it comes to military service. This was a great way to pay tribute to our WWII heroes. My dad would've been honored to be included." Sen. John Thune

John Thune
Oct. 7, 2020 Tweet - "Coastal elites are so disconnected from the heart of America. Having religious beliefs should never disqualify an American from getting a job she's qualified for.

John Thune
Sept. 21, 2020 Tweet - "Many GOP senators -- myself included -- decided to run for office for this very reason: to be in a position to restore the court to its original constitutional purpose as a judicial body, not a legislative one. We ran for this. We were elected for this. Now, we will follow through." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 21, 2020 Tweet - "Despite the Dem-led misinformation campaign, filling this SCOTUS seat follows historical Senate norms.

Sept. 21, 2020 Tweet - "Many GOP senators -- myself included -- decided to run for office for this very reason: to be in a position to restore the court to its original constitutional purpose as a judicial body, not a legislative one.

Sept. 21, 2020 Tweet - "Despite the Dem-led misinformation campaign, filling this SCOTUS seat follows historical Senate norms.
