Don’t Mormons practice shunning, or some variation?

No. We do excommunicate members who commit serious sins and remain unrepentant. But we do not avoid association with excommunicated persons unless they are a danger. They are invited to attend meetings, but are not asked to speak or teach, pay tithing, or hold a position in the Church.

Obviously, being a slimy politician is not an offense requiring excommunication.

Sometimes, they just change your name to “Jack” when they talk about you.

Jack Mormons are not unlike jackasses, from what I hear.

No, they don’t.
People can have their membership removed, but that is not shunning.

Probably he thinks LDS is so mainstream that it’s like Pelosi still taking communion.

Absolutely, happened to one of my family a very prominent Mormon at the time.
