Politician
Sept. 23, 2020
Tweet - "If you believe in democracy, you believe all Americans -- not just those you agree with -- have a right to a voice in govt. You can dislike when your party isn't in charge. But, you can't suggest (w/o undermining our system) that govt is only legitimate if your party is in power."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Tweet - "Very mature. America is battling a global pandemic and mourning the loss of a Supreme Court justice, but Chuck Schumer is determined to prevent committees from meeting on important topics like election security. #TemperTantrum"
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Some Democrats have gone as far as to say that "nothing is off the table" when it comes to retribution for having a Senate vote on the president's nominee -- a grade school-style threat with constitutional consequences."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "When Dems say "nothing is off the table" if they regain the majority, they mean: -Scrapping protections for the Senate minority put in place by founders -Increasing number of SCOTUS justices (to pack it w/ liberal judges) -Making DC & PR states (in hopes of 2 Dem senators each)"
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Unbelievable. The Senate Intelligence Committee was supposed to have a hearing on election security today. The Democratic leader objected & blocked the meeting from happening. Mark "election security" down as the first target of Democrats' SCOTUS retribution."
Sen. 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. There is a different precedent if you have a divided government (2016) vs. having the same party in control in the WH & Senate (now). In fact, Joe Biden made the distinction."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 18, 2020
Tweet - "My full statement on the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg below Downwards arrow. We didn't always agree, but RBG was a true patriot who loved this country and dedicated her life to serving the American people and the law."
Sen. John Thune

Newhouse Leads Colleagues to Demand House Vote on MMIW Legislation
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
Sept. 17, 2020
Tweet - "What a shameful and unproductive attempt to tear down one of the strongest women leaders in Congress. This kind of "commentary' deserves no place in our political discourse."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 16, 2020
Tweet - "Democrats are already plotting to do away with the filibuster if political roles & majorities reverse. But take a look at what they've been up to in the minority -- blocking bills at every turn."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 15, 2020
Tweet - "The @SenateGOP majority has, at times, been frustrated by the filibuster, but we've always respected what it means to the Senate. Now, here we are, defending the rights Dems enjoy in the minority while they're already talking about rolling them back if they regain the majority."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 15, 2020
Tweet - "Senate Dems recently filibustered: Relief funding for schools COVID vaccine funding Stimulus payments to Americans Police reform Now, they're saying they would eliminate the filibuster. This situation stretches the meaning of irony -- even by Washington standards."
Sen. John Thune
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. The logical conclusion is that Dems, with eyes on November, would rather have a political issue than pass a bill."
Sen. John Thune

July 18, 2020
