What is the secret Senate vote that sparked the MAGA backlash?
F Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, would you support him?
Well, I'm uh I'm hoping we end to have other options.
That right there was Senator John Thune from South Dakota, previous interview that he had given. Senator Thune was just voted by Republicans in the Senate to be the Senate majority leader. MAGA is absolutely flipping out. So MAGA was pissed to begin with that the vote for the majority leader in the Senate was done by a C. Secret ballot where all of the senators who elect their leader remained anonymous during the vote. So there were three people who were running for the majority leader position. You had Senator John Thune of South Dakota, Senator John Cornyn of Texas, and then Senator Rick Scott of Florida. MAGA wanted Rick Scott. Rick Scott said he would. Do whatever Donald Trump wanted and he would push that through.
So the secret ballot was held. Rick Scott lost in the first round. He was like wiped out. Then there was a second round vote between John Thune and John Corden. Thune won that vote 29-24. Let's take a look at some of Thune's other statements. This was back from October 8th of 2016, Senator John Thune John Thune posted, Donald Trump should withdraw, and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately.
How did the secret ballot work and who were the three candidates?
It should also be noted that South Dakota Senator John Thune, who's now the Senate majority leader, endorsed Tim Scott over Trump in the presidential primary. Senator John Thune. Is a big supporter of Ukraine and giving aid to Ukraine, which is a very positive development. Um, and that is a very bad development if you're MAGA. MAGA is livid right now. They think that the deep state rhinos are doing this to undermine Donald Trump. We're seeing lots of messages from MAGAs in their freak out right now, like Nick Swords. Sortor who posts. John Thune wins the vote for Senate Majority Leader. The Senate has betrayed Americans. Laura Loomer posted. Senator John Thune has notoriously been anti-Trump. And then the MAGA posts have been flooding social media.
The vote in secret is unacceptable. Thune is a Mitch McConnell screwover to Trump. John Thune is a McConnell puppet. Let me speak for the American people for a second, John Thune. I dare you to go against the will of the people. That's your warning. Uh okay, so what do we do now? How do we make these uh votes public? I effing hate our representatives in DC. They don't give a S word what we want. F them all. Most of these Republican senators are no different than Democrat senators, swamp creatures.
Why did MAGA supporters want Rick Scott and how did he lose?
This is the deep state choice. First MAGA loss. These rhinos time is numbered. Primary, every mother effer who voted for him. We need their names. LFG. This is a direct slap in the face to the American people who those people work for. They need a good reminder of that. That bastard is up for election in 28. Great. We're stuck with him for the whole entire Trump administration. Here's the statement that Senator John. Thune just put out honored to serve as the next U.S. Senate majority leader. I'm extremely honored to have earned the support of my colleagues to lead the Senate in the 119th Congress, and I am beyond proud of the work we have done to secure our majority in the White House. This Republican team is united behind Trump's agenda, and our work starts today.
Apparently, saying that is not enough for all of these maggas. Who view Thune as a deep state plant? Mitch McConnell, of course, was the previous Senate majority leader. He stepped aside after serving as the longest-serving Senate leader in history after 18 years in that position. Going back to who Senator Thune was running against, this was Rick Scott on the Hannity Show the other night when he was trying to. Trying to position to get that job as the biggest MAGA supporter, senator running for the leadership position. Here, play this clip. Uh I'm supporting you. You have a lot of other people.
supporting you. Tell us why you should get that job. Well, first, thanks for thank you for your support. Look, I'm a business guy. Successful business guys get things done. I want the Donald Trump agenda implemented.
