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.

    Yep, every single “principled” republiQan - every one - will now line up to slobber in Trumps asshole. Because they have no ideals, no courage, and no heart. They are a zombie party of Qanon dipshits, rapists, and useful idiots.

    We knew this, but hope springs eternal, so we gave some of them half a chance to redeem themselves, which they will now publicly torch in service to the demented rapist fraud.
