Another take on Thune on gun owners following Mitch McConnell.
“What the hell is going on in the US Senate?” Tucker Carlson posted Saturday on X. “Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate.”
The candidates are John Thune, John Cornyn, and Rick Scott, and the selection will be by secret ballot.
“John Cornyn is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s” Carlson notes. True enough, and Corny has betrayed gun owners before on numerous occasions, from backing due process denying “red flag laws” and Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, to teaming up with the late Sheila (Heavy as 10 Boxes) Jackson Lee in “#StandingForPublicSafety.”
Carlson is silent on Thune, who joined Cornyn and other Vichycons in supporting Harry Reid by breaking the Ted Cruz/Mike Lee Filibuster of the Anti-gun ObamaCare Law, and in voting to confirm anti-gun Merrick Garland as Attorney General.
