John Thune isn’t fooling anyone with his RINO tactics.
He is trying to delay passage of Voter ID and other crucial bills so that Democrats win the midterms and impeach President Trump.
He needs to be removed as Leader and primaried.
A 20-something kid with a cell phone camera just cut the national budget deficit by exposing hundreds of billions in fraud.
Turns out we didn’t need more taxation.
Only enforcement of our laws.
