Aug. 5, 2020 Tweet - "Let's be clear, Dems' $3 trillion+ #COVID bill will never pass the Senate. It's not targeted. It's not fiscally responsible.

Aug. 5, 2020 Tweet - "Republicans have offered multiple proposals for the next step of #COVID19 relief, yet each time Democrats come back with the same response: "pass the HEROES Act." 1. This bill won't pass -- it's not targeted & not fiscally responsible 2. This is not how negotiations work." Sen. John Thune
Aug. 5, 2020 Tweet - "When Republicans announced our #COVID19 relief bill, we knew our version wouldn't be the final draft & were open to negotiating.

July 30, 2020 Tweet - "Anyone who knows me knows that I love sports -- especially basketball. Sports instill important values like respect, work ethic, & sportsmanship. Pro leagues should uphold such ideals, not echo the human rights abuses of China's communist government." Sen. John Thune
July 30, 2020 Tweet - "There's only one way we're going to make progress on the next round of COVID relief: Democrats must come to the table in a serious way. @SenateGOP wants to help, but piling an additional $3 TRILLION onto the national debt, as Dems have suggested, is a totally unserious proposal."
