Thom Tillis Threatens Trump Supporters to “Stand Down” on Pressure Because He Only Needs 4 Votes in Senate to Destroy Any Nomination

Senator Thom Tillis appears to have been granted a larger slice of the lobbyist money from Thune and McConnell because he certainly is taking up a position next to Joni Ernst in strategic opposition to President Donald Trump.

The level of passive aggressive threat-speak within Tillis’ very carefully selected wording is quite concerning. “President Trump enjoyed a great deal of Republican support in his first term,” Tillis notes. “But if people want to play the outside [pressure] game, they run a lot of risk,” he continues. “Four votes is all it’s going to take to kill a nomination here, so they should take pause,” Tillis reminds everyone.

Senator Tillis from North Carolina represents the aloof mindset of the Senate at large, and the detached mindset of the Republicans in the senate specifically.

The republicans in North Carolina in 2024 are highlighting just how similar they are to the republicans in Georgia, circa 2020.

This Tillis guy needs to be primaried with a MAGA candidate ASAP.

[Jonty30]

I was just going to say that. Any threat against Trump is an automatic primary.

[McCarthysGhost]

Screw that. He needs a full blown investigation into all of his dealings. Sounds like he may be working for a foreign power.

[God luvs America]

I’m no fan of Tillis but the headline is sensational BS. Watch the video.

[RushingWater]

What arrogance! Even if they have the votes to reject, please please Trump go ahead with the selection and get the traitors on record!

[Thomas Jerome]

Poor guy. He just needs to be stroked so he feels important. I am sure Trump can make fold like a cheap suite.

[Jim Noble]

If Tillis should be denied renomination, what are the chances the seat would be lost to a Democrat? The governor is a Democrat, is he not?

[Allegra]

Noted, asshole.

[odawg]

Someone should remind the swaggering little effeminate creep that Musk has said anyone who opposes Trump’s nominees, who thinks he is bigger than Trump and the American voters, gets primaried. Musk has the ability to puts words into very effective action.

BTTT

[Dave911]

Absolutely, NC GOP needs to be looking for a viable candidate right now to primary the pompous ass.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Dear Senator Tillis:

Go do anatomically impossible things to yourself.

Sincerely,

Me.

What Committees did you say you used to be on, Thom?
Your campaign funding was denied? Such a tragedy.
It only takes 60 votes to expel you from office and with all of those Democrats voting yes it only takes a few more votes...
/sarcasm

[big bad easter bunny]

10 times the pressure, he is cracking!

[farmguy]

Oh yes, he needs to be stroked...

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Lara Trump is a native North Carolinian, but the idiots want her to run for Rubio's seat instead. Tillis has always been a dick head and a borderline Democrat.

[MinorityRepublican]

Absolutely, NC GOP needs to be looking for a viable candidate right now to primary the pompous ass.

NC is like GA so we may end up losing that seat in 2026 no matter what. If Roy Cooper is running, we have no chance.

Tillis was lucky enough to win his seat in 2020 because his opponent made stupid mistakes.

[Wallace T.]

How did North Carolina go from Jesse Helms, a stalwart conservative, to the likes of Tillis?

[personalaccts]

Never received 50% of the vote

[Zathras]

And we only need a word from Musk and Thun is history.
Turtle and Linda are already gone.
