BALTIMORE - South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune told reporters Thursday that he is âpersonally very offended about being called the establishmentâ by some GOP presidential candidates.
"I think in a presidential campaign the rhetoric is kind of hot. I think it's just inevitable. We can't control what candidates are going to say or are going to do," said Thune, who is the Senate Conference Chairman, during the GOP retreat. "We can only control what we are going to do here and as individual members of Congress."

He’s squealing like a pig and the US Chamber of Commerce is standing right behind him.
OK, then, how about one of the Turd-le’s stooges? Do you like that better?
Hey, at least they are starting to get the message that the term “The Establishment” is code for utter disgust & contempt. They, “The Establishment”, have lied repeatedly to we lowly peons that made up their base and taken us for granted. How’s it feel Thune, to be despised by those you thought were on your side? Not good is it. Welcome to our world. There may still be time, but it is rapidly evaporating. Change your ways and do it now. You are there to represent us, we the people, not resent us as you have done for quite sometime now.
He really has no idea how offended we are.
He shouldn’t be offended , he should be ashamed.
Reading the posts in this thread, it sounds like Sen. Thune is another good example why the ill-conceived 17th Amendment should never have been ratified. Corrections welcome.
“How’s it feel Thune, to be despised by those you thought were on your side? Not good is it. Welcome to our world.”
Damn right!!
Sen Thune you have a sub par Conservative voting record.
You ate every POS sandwich Mc TURDLE served up. Where where your Conservative Balls and Spine when the choice was between shutting 30 percent of the government and getting rid of Obamacare, paying for illegals staying here and Planned Parenthood funding.
Sorry your offended, we here thought we were paying for conservative representation with our votes to put the Republicans back in charge.
Sen. Thune, you and your ilk made the Obama years bad for America. Reed Pelosi and Daschle at least fought for their misguided beliefs, I have no respect for cowards who have no belief except getting re elected.
You offend us conservatives.
He’s offended? There’s a Latin saying that covers it: “Tuffem Tittieum”
I have had it. Look at the lead story, Our Sailors had to APOLOGIZE to the freaking Mullahs. And you GOPeahens don’t do a da’n thing about it. Screw you.
Which begs the question, who does he represent? From what I have seen, the base of his party is fed up with him.

A real conservative MAN would not whine about being offended.

A total disappointment he has been.
Thune seemed pretty cool when he was beating that wascal tom daschle.
FUJT
LOLOL. That’s funny. GOP establishment is not a dirty term no one wants to be associated with. LOL.
Senator Thune, cockroaches don’t like the light either.
