Senator John Thune previously denounced Trump for role in Capitol attack in 2021 but now vows to back him in 2024 election
The second-highest ranking Republican in the US Senate, John Thune of South Dakota, endorsed for president Donald Trump – the man he previously called “inexcusable” for seeking to overturn the 2020 election and inciting the deadly January 6 attack on Congress.
Multiple media outlets reported Thune’s endorsement. They also swiftly pointed out statements made by Thune after the 2021 US Capitol attack, now linked to nine deaths, more than 1,200 arrests and hundreds of convictions, some for seditious conspiracy.
Honestly, probably sadder than that. Republicans are just inherently bootlickers who will follow whoever seems like they’re succeeding at hurting people.
They don’t need kompromat anymore. If he hadn’t endorsed Trump he’d have a bunch of red-hatted lunatics calling in bomb threats and driving by his house.
