🚨 Here is the exact sequence of what happened in Rapid City in 12 hours..

June 25.. Scott Presler shows up to a South Dakota GOP event with a ticket in hand..

Thune's team had already printed a poster with his face on it to make sure he couldn't get in..

Sergeant at Arms Matt Bruner met him at the door.. said "get the hell outta here"..

Presler pulled out his phone.. stayed calm.. recorded everything.. posted it..

and here's what nobody wants to say out loud..

within 12 hours.. Bruner was fired..

within 12 hours.. Chairman Jim Eschenbaum issued a personal video apology..

within 12 hours.. Mike Lee was on record saying "America needs more Scott Preslers"..

within 12 hours.. the SAVE America Act had more national attention than six months of lobbying produced..

this is the same playbook Presler has run for a decade.. show up.. document the denial.. let the exposure do the work..

he registered 50,000+ new Republican voters in Pennsylvania alone.. flipped Bucks County.. Beaver County.. Luzerne County.. delivered 19 electoral votes to Trump..

and the party that needed all of that printed a poster to keep him out of a room..

the system worked for Presler today.. it just didn't work the way they planned.

I'll share more details shortly so turn on notifications, this is VERY important.

June 25, 2026

“”Who is Scott Presler?””

I’m glad you posted it first...I was going to google the name - still will as I still don’t know who he is...I guess we’re not “IN”....

I’ve heard the name, but never saw him. I feel like quoting George Wallace, “You need a haircut!”

“”I feel like quoting George Wallace, “You need a haircut!”””

I thought we were looking at a woman and the man in the hat must be Presler....Sorry - agree on the haircut...

“Gee, John, how did the censoring thing work for Liz Cheney?”

Liz is a goner.

I saw some of the video, my sound was off as usual. I usually listen to radio/ CD music as I read FR. I’m guessing Bruner was the older guy with cowboy hat standing next to Scott. He looked pretty riled up.

Presler also had a clean up America campaign. Good guy. Sad he was rejected. He doesn’t seem the hysterical type. Thune should hear him out!

Look people. You all know Thune is up in ‘28-at least I know. Will he run again knowing how unpopular he is in SD? If the senate gop has a clue he won’t be the majority leader next year. The real question: Should the heat be on him so hot that he doesn’t finish out his term? Kristi Noem could finish it out and ‘28 will be just a formality. The SAVE Act won’t effect 2026. That’s their plan.

28 is too far away. Need to have him removed. He is being controlled.

I don’t think most voters will want to even hear the name
“Kristi Noem’ for at least the next 10 years.
Heavy personal baggage with that one (and her husband), even more than with Nancy Mace!

I know who SP is, but I had never seen an image of him.

Who is Scott Presler?

A far better conservative than John Thune. He worked tirelessly to get Trump elected and he's doing his damndest to help get the SAVE Act passed now.

According to the tweet, the guy that harassed Pressler and would not let him into the meeting was fired...

I also heard that he was fired. And it didn’t take long.

The GOPe has a different umbrella than MAGA and most conservative Americans. I really do sense that the GOPe will cause the loss of the House and the Senate this November, despite all of the redistricting gains for the GOP.

You're right BUT Democrats = Communists.

So independent voters will vote for the GOP this time.

Thune’s constituents are the credit card banks and student loan services headquartered in South Dakota thanks to Tom Daschel.

OK. My wife and I visited Minnesota and Michigan and Wisconson on a vacation a few years ago. We hit Duluth first. Took an antique train ride. Stayed in a Hotel that had been a big brewery.

I have been a big Bob fan since his second album or so. Have seen him perform a couple of time.

His stuff is Poetry - but not like in the school book in High School.

I decided to flip a coin like either heads or tails

Would let me know if I should go back to ship or back to jail

So, I hocked my sailor’s suit and I got a coin to flip

It came up tails, it rhymed with sails, so I made it back to the ship

“The entire South Dakota GOP committee unanimously voted to censure John Thune”

Are you certain about this because the news that I read says they did exactly the opposite.

Really, I had to do the right click and search google on him too.

Usually I only have to do that for woksters, pop idles, girl singers and rappers....

The media must be memory holing him.

About time for Thune to have an encounter with an exercise machine.
