As Republican voters we have shown faith in the process and trusted the Senate Republicans under John Thune as leader. I am greatly disillusioned with the GOP. The Senate Republicans have shown a lack of goodwill towards the voters that have given them power. The Save America Act was blocked by our own senators. @SteveScalise said the house has passed hundreds of bills that the U.S. Senate has refused to vote on. There's gargantuan backlog of Trump nominees that now likely will not be filled. I watched @ScottPresler do more to get the senate to act than it's own leadership. I would like to believe that @LeaderJohnThune is incompetent, but unfortunately, I can't. I have to assume that this was the result that he wanted. I greatly appreciate @ScottforFlorida and @SenRonJohnson for leading the charge against Thune and to postpone the Senate Leader election. This election even if postponed however will by the rules of The Senate Republican Conference, be a secret ballot. While the ballot remains secret, the very same senators that ran on the party platform of President Trump will secretly vote for Thune or someone like him, and then act as if they were powerless to pass these bills. We must demand that he Senate Republican Conference change the rules and show us the vote. I've been talking about this for a few days, and I'm surprised how many people didn't realize there was a secret ballot. If the average person knew about this, they'd be outraged, and I've made it my mission to tell them. #ShowUsTheVote @SenateGOP

Fucker thune. No secret ballot bullshit
🚨 JUST IN: John Thune will be selected by SECRET BALLOT, HIDDEN from the public during Senate GOP Leader elections next week — unless they're delayed Q: Are you committed to voting for Thune? SEN. HAGERTY: Those votes are all confidential, but we'll know the results very soon. Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Rick Scott and John Kennedy are FOUR GOP senators signing on to delaying the election until January Otherwise, they're next week ‼️ Why not make Thune LEAD Republicans through January and show us more wins before Dems take over, THEN decide on Leadership rather than rushing in?!

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. [2] From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. [3] For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. [4] I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. Psalm 61:1-4

With a secret ballot, why wouldn't they? ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY!
The Senate GOP conference is preparing to reinstall the same top leadership after losing ground.
 That decision will be visible to every Republican voter who just watched the numbers.

As long as it's a secret ballot, Thune will win easily. Your Republican senator is lying to you and hates everything he ran on.
🚨DELAY TUESDAY’S SENATE GOP LEADERSHIP VOTE! JOHN THUNE MUST NEVER BE IN A LEADERSHIP … more scheming with his buddy CHUCK SCHUMER. John Thune is pushing ahead with Tuesday’s leadership election while NO ONE is running against him! ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! Senators Ron Johnson, Rick Scott and John Kennedy are pushing to postpone the vote. They are RIGHT! MAKE NOISE, friends!! We need time to find another candidate, not hand Thune another leadership position by default! HEAR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! NEVER THUNE! NOT IN ANY LEADERSHIP ROLE!

Get rid of the secret ballot while they're at it
Time to take a stand @POTUS ... demand the @senategop remove @LeaderJohnThune @SenTomCotton @JohnBoozman Replace Thune

But with a secret ballot, Thune will win. #ShowUsTheVote
Sen. Ron Johnson just secured the five votes that stop Thune's automatic reinstallation. This forces the conference to meet and actually talk before any leadership vote. No more silent, closed-door coronation. Thune needs to be replaced as soon as possible. He's a loser.

But with a secret ballot, these guys are likely to stay in power. Why do you think that is? #ShowUsTheVote
Barrasso wants to remain in leadership after delivering a historic minority. 
Republican voters are clear: the same people who managed the losses do not get automatic promotions.

This is fantastic! But with a secret ballot, Burchett will be limited by the GOP Senate leadership. #ShowUsTheVote
🚨 BREAKING: Endorsements are FLOODING IN for Tim Burchett being named the next US Senator from the great state of Tennessee, after he threw his hat into the ring It's ALL up to Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn 🙏🏻 If not, Burchett's running for the seat in 2028 🔥 Here's our guy pushing to SLASH fuel prices on the House floor recently, because he wants to go all-in on affordability for Americans! Easily becomes a top 5 senator instantly. @MarshaBlackburn, THIS WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE MOVE.

Republican Senators can campaign against the establishment, then secretly vote to keep the same Senate leadership in power. Under Republican Senate Conference rules, contested leadership elections use secret ballots. Why shouldn't voters know how their senators voted? #ShowUsTheVote

Secret ballot or not, @SenEricSchmitt @HawleyMO , if Thune or Barrasso are elected minority leader, I personally will NOT VOTE FOR EITHER OF YOU. I will just assume that you are willing to let the next two years be just as unproductive as the past two years!!!!

The @SenateGOP is about to double down on stupid with a secret ballot to reselect @LeaderJohnThune as their minority leader. Does the corruption and stupidity have no bounds?

Rick Scott should have been Senate Leader 2 years ago. John Thune was a HUGE mistake.
I think the American people would love for us all to shut up and just do our job. That starts with the Senate staying in session every day until January when Democrats take over. We owe it to the American people to get as much done as possible. Let’s Get to Work

FLASHBACK: Just weeks after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Jennifer Welch told Democrats to “get on board” with celebrating his murder and political violence. This isn’t her first time joking about it and she’s not sorry.
UPDATE: After numerous advertisers pulled the sponsorship of Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan’s podcast, they have issued a half-assed “apology” and announced they’re donating to a Gun Control group. Charlie’s murder was caused by a violent, left-wing ideology and fueled by rhetoric from demonic, soulless people like them. Donating to a Democrat-backed Gun Control group isn’t going to fix that. They’re intentionally spitting in the face of Charlie’s legacy and they’re not sorry.
