But Dems are just focused on politics. Wow." Sen. John Thune
June 24, 2020 Tweet - "I was hoping that Senate Democrats would put politics aside and work with @SenateGOP to pass a bipartisan police reform bill. Sadly, that did not happen.

June 23, 2020 Tweet - "Shocked by Dems' indications that they will vote against having a policing reform debate in the Senate.

June 23, 2020 Tweet - "If Senate Democrats prevent us from debating, amending, or voting on the #JUSTICEact this week, they're doing more than blocking @SenatorTimScott 's bill, they're blocking an open, bipartisan debate on policing reform -- something nearly all of them have said they support."
