The South Dakota Republican Party on Friday voted down a measure to censure Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) after the Senate failed to advance the SAVE America Act.
After passing the Resolutions Committee of the South Dakota GOP, the censure was overwhelmingly voted down, with opponents saying the measure would only help Democrats.
Thune currently lacks the 60 votes needed to pass the voter ID bill, which would strengthen documentation requirements for people registering to vote in order to ensure they are U.S. citizens.
President Donald Trump has demanded the bill’s passage, and many conservatives believe it should be passed, too.
Thune has been encouraged to change Senate rules to bypass the filibuster.
Some Republicans have criticized Thune as not fighting hard enough for the party, which led to the attempted censure in South Dakota.
The submission for the resolution placed blame for the legislation not passing at the feet of Thune. Several Republicans have voted against the measure previously in floor votes.
“His failure in regards to the SAVE America Act is his most glaring, and can not be ignored. It is for this reason that we, the elected representatives of the South Dakota Republican Party, find it regretfully necessary to censure South Dakota Senator and US Senate Majority Leader John Randolf Thune until such time as the SAVE America Act is officially signed into law,” the submission said.
The document stated that the Senate bill stalling “threatens election integrity,” “undermines US Citizen’s trust in the electoral process,” and that Thune has acted as a “roadblock” to Trump’s agenda.

Well, I guess South Dakota thinks he’s fine…just like Kentucky thinks Mitch McConnell is fine.
“After passing the Resolutions Committee of the South Dakota GOP, the censure was overwhelmingly voted down, with opponents saying the measure would only help Democrats.” - The Stupid Party
Embarrassing! Thune won’t even let Trump make recess appointments!
Horrendous.
Any republican is better than any democrat.........
- the whole SD GOP. So much better. I can hardly contain my glee at all of these people.
Corrupt to the core, they are probably getting back deals
South Dakotans, melt their phone lines and blue circle their emails.
You can’t hate RINOs enough, they’re doing everything they can to put the deep state/uniparty back in control. The House has not done anything either since the BBB, the turnout this fall will be dismal.
Murkowski’s far left tribe.
Like thune.
Wusses...
South Dakota gave America George McGovern. Apparently that’s what happens when the brain is ice cold most of the year.
Just like South Carolina stands behind Grahamnesty. Until the election is secured and he is back to full rino. Then the idiots who voted for him will be whining about the inability to pass conservative legislation.
Mitch McConnell taught him well. Two peas in a pod.
As the old political maxim goes:
“The President proposes; Congress disposes.”
The Stupid Party is right!!!
Why do some who claim to love America actually act like they hate it!!
