Mitch McConnell 2.0: Anti-Trump John Thune is the GOP’s Next Man Up in US Senate

Last Updated on July 27, 2023

Mitch McConnell froze up like he was having a stroke at Wednesday’s Senate GOP Leadership press conference, leading many to believe that McConnell will step down as Senate GOP Leader. The uni-party globalists have been grooming John Thune to replace McConnell for some time. Thune has stabbed Trump in the back many times.

John Thune was seen smiling as Mitch McConnell froze up at Wednesday’s Senate GOP Leadership press conference, something that was noticed by many after footage of McConnell’s apparent health emergency made its way online. Thune is considered the “next man up” to lead the GOP in the US Senate and serious red flags have been raised about his political background that indicate he could be Mitch McConnell 2.0…or worse.

In December 2020, Thune enthusiastically told CNN that if the House votes to overturn the election, the Senate will shoot down the resolution like a dog, saying, “I think the thing they got to remember is it’s not going anywhere. I mean, in the Senate, it would go down like a shot dog.”

Thune joined Democrats in commemorating January 6th by releasing a statement that read, “Having seen firsthand the violence and lawlessness of January 6, 2021, I’m committed to doing whatever I can to prevent something like it from ever happening again.”

Thune’s statement continued, “Today on the first anniversary of the deadly riot, I remain profoundly thankful for the Capitol Police and other law enforcement officers and members of the National Guard who bravely answered our nation’s call and defended the Capitol. My staff and everyone within the Capitol Hill community were affected that day, and I’m especially grateful for the tremendous work they do on behalf of the American people.”

In March, Thune attacked Tucker Carlson’s J6 reporting. When asked by CNN about Tucker’s J6 documentary Thune said, “I think it was an attack on the Capitol … There were a lot of people in the Capitol at the time that were scared for their lives.”

Thune believes that Americans should continue giving Ukraine billions of dollars a year. Thune even praised the Biden Administration for their pro-Ukraine war efforts.
