Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)’s successor needed to be independent from former President Donald Trump.
Partial transcript as follows:
JON KARL: By the way, I should point out that the former president’s had some choice words for you as – as you no doubt know. I think he called you – or questioned whether or not you were crazy or just stupid, a jerk, a RINO, a weak – anyway, we could go on. But – but how important is it for whoever the Senate leader is to have some degree of independence from – from Donald Trump? I mean I understand you say everybody needs to be on board in the general election, but how important is it to do what McConnell did, which is be willing to stand up to Trump?
ROUNDS: Well, that’s what I’m looking for in a leader. I want someone who will work with a president, but who also will stand his own ground. That’s one of the reasons why I very publicly and openly supported John Thune and I supported Mitch McConnell. I think John Thune will bring some – you know, a fresh breath. That always happens when you have a change in leadership.

Primary this RINO POS!!!!
Zero excuse for a red state to have a RINO senator.
We have the same problem here in Idaho.
What?
Stand his ground with Trump?
What?
Do these republicans go to the rallies. Do they turn on tv?
Trump is the only person doing anything to protect and defend the constitution and our God given rights
These people are amazing.
What’s this guys name?
Senator Mike Rounds (Uniparty-SD)
What a complete jerk
The Sunday shows only allow rino traitors on the air.
The sheep in the chute have all kinds of advice for those on the outside.
Yes they do! They are desperately trying to get someone that saves their pals in DC. They know we are out here with pitchforks locked and loaded. Their gravey train is in peril.
Thanks, Rounds. Now that you’ve identified yourself as a supporter of the potential Turtle II, go Obama yourself and die a painful death.
Rounds just played his UniParty Creds....
How do these RINO aholes like Thune and Rounds get elected in a deep red state like South Dakota?
We need a leader in the Senate that will work with Trump, not cause him trouble. John Cornyn will be a pain in the ass to Trump. I’ve voted for Cornyn, but never again, he is the ultimate RINO and Uni-Party participant.
The only Ground McConnell stands is China’s ground.
He’s a traitor.
There’s tgat side to it of course. Well. He’s a jerk for pretending Trump won’t succeed.
These a-holes need to stand their ground with the people who put them in office, not stab those same people in the back to stand their ground with RATS.
I keep thinking about the fact that despite Mitch being the most hated politician in the country they made him minority leader. So l think we end with Thune or Cornyn. The GOPe loves to flip the base the finger
As opposed to McConnell, who stood with Democrats.
“Mitch being the most hated politician in the country...”
I dunno man, even if your just talking about Republicans, there’s a lot of candidates in the running for that honor. 😏
Yes Mitch has competition for the title no doubt.
Go to hell Rounds. RINO. We want a Congress to work with Trump, not oppose him.
