South Dakota GOP Committee has UNANIMOUSLY voted to CENSURE Sen. John Thune.
HIS HOME STATE IS FED UP!
The resolution will now head to a floor vote before the South Dakota Republican Party.
MASSIVE: The people in Thune's home state are sick OF HIM OVER the stalled SAVE America Act and are raising serious questions about Thune's future ahead of 2028.
Thune is the exact leader the Senate GOP wants. They want to raise $$ off losing to Dems, not by delivering wins to the voters. Thune is the perfect man for it.

The possible censure is showing Thune he probably won't be there in '28.
Quote:
It rebuked Thune for allegedly acting as a "roadblock" to Trump's "America First Agenda," being at odds with Trump, and not using his leadership position to push the bill through the Senate (where it faced procedural hurdles like the filibuster).
It called for censure until the bill passed the Senate and was signed into law.
It passed the Resolutions Committee but was voted down by delegates on the floor, with some opponents arguing it would be counterproductive or help Democrats

What "other provisions" are unpopular in the SAVE Act? Are you talking about restrictions on mail in voting that would bring America back into line with the best practices observed by every country in the EU and the rest of the world? The measures that were emphatically supported 20 years ago by the blue ribbon commission on voter integrity that included Jimmy Carter and Barbara Jordan?
The truth is that there are no radical provisions in the SAVE Act that average citizens don't support at well over 50%. The show your papers provision that allegedly 21 million Americans don't have "ready access to" has about 70% support. The vast majority of those who don't have "ready access" would be forced to request a birth certificate online and pay a fee to obtain a birth certificate or marriage certificate. Even a motivated homeless person pushing his belongings around town in a shopping cart can get free assistance and grants to cover the cost of obtaining proof of citizenship. The only time it is impossible to do this is when the urge to vote doesn't hit till six weeks before the election.
Sorry, not sorry, you can vote in the election after that. Nobody cares that after wandering the streets drunk or stoned and having manic episodes on public transit for years you suddenly had a lucid moment and got clean enough in October to decide that you want to vote in the election on the first Tuesday in November. Not surprisingly, such people are exactly who John Thune an Chuck Schumer claim that they are defending. Only corrupt politicians care about the "rights" of this parasite class to cast a vote. The founders of this nation would not have cared at all.
I don't believe I am in the minority when I say that I don't care about the hassle it might be for that portion of the population that pays zero federal income tax to do some modest legwork that any 8th grader reading on grade level could do. Nobody who really cares about election integrity cares that the welfare class will have to demonstrate middle school level competence in basic personal administration to ensure that noncitizens don't vote.
When JFK said "...ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country," the short answer is put down the Oreos and vape cannister and go get a valid ID credential that verifies citizenship so that you can vote for the Democrat party politicians that vote for the welfare programs.
Go ahead and make a sympathetic case for the circumstances of anyone that will supposedly be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act.

Its like a strongly worded finger-wag
If even that.
Thune could conceivably choose to do like MTG did and decide to resign rather than have himself and his family threatened, harrassed, and targeted by Trump crazies. But it is unlikely Thune would do that.
U.S. Senators cannot be recalled by voters. They can be expelled by the Senate itself, but that requires a 2/3rds majority.
Trump crazies? He was threatened with a primary opponent to get him out of office for stalling the agenda on an 80/20 issue across the entire population of America to ensure our elections are fair and only citizens are able to vote, and rightfully so.
It's not like he was shot in the neck, swatted, or had protests outside of his house or anything like your side prefers.
False equivalency denied.
Either you are extremely uninformed or in willfully deep blind denial about the things rightwing Trump crazies have done. Threats, stalking, swatting, murders, shootings.
Okay. Maybe I am. Cite your sources and provide receipts. It should be incredibly easy for you to prove what you believe to be true, if it is based in reality.
Im not going to hold my breath, though.

My name is Scott Presler.
I'm an Eagle Scout & son of a retired Navy Captain.
I moved to Pennsylvania in 2024 & launched an organization for the sole purpose of helping to re-elect President Trump.
I've spent the last decade of my life registering tens of thousands of voters, electing Republicans to all levels of office, & helping to build up Republican structures from the county & state levels.
I've traveled to over 40 states to grow the Republican Party.
For the last 6 months, I've met with members of Congress to pass the SAVE America Act which would require photo voter ID & proof of citizenship to vote.
What I'm advocating for has overwhelming support from the American people.
Yet I was not allowed entry to a dinner last night in Rapid City, South Dakota, because Senate Majority Leader Thune was present.
When they go after me, they are really coming for you.
I will not be bullied, pressured, intimidated & I won't stop pushing for the country-saving SAVE America Act.
Thank you for having my back peacefully.

Pressler looks like a hippie and he's gay. The republican party is not welcoming or receptive to people like him. He looks like someone who smells bad with his long hair.

You simply don't get it, do you?
To the vast majority of Republicans, the fact that Pressler has long hair and is gay doesn't define him. His actions define him. Having long hair and being gay is incidental to his identity.
It's predominantly Democrats who believe attributes like long hair or being gay is essential to one's identity. That's identity politics in a nutshell, and it defines the strategy of the entire Democrat party.
