Nov. 10, 2020 Tweet - "Even Dems themselves are acknowledging the election was a rejection of the radical left agenda. They shrunk their House majority, lost races they were predicted to win, & didn't grasp the Senate majority on election night. I genuinely hope Dems reflect & start working with us." Sen. John Thune
Nov. 6, 2020 Tweet - "With several races too close to call, we all have the same goal: making sure every legal vote is counted -- and counted accurately. All of us have a duty to make our democracy work. Let's remember how much still unifies us. ONE nation under God." Sen. John Thune
Nov. 4, 2020 Tweet - "Congrats to my friends @SenatorRounds & @RepDustyJohnson on winning reelection. South Dakota is lucky to have you both in Washington advocating for our great state.

Oct. 28, 2020 Tweet - "The Facebook employee who is in charge of election integrity on the platform is a former Biden staffer. And, according to Mr. Zuckerberg, he isn't even aware of it.

Sept. 10, 2020 Tweet - "If Dems really shared Republicans' urgency to deliver relief to Americans, they'd work w/ us to get a compromise bill through Congress. Yet, they refuse to negotiate.
