HUMILIATED: RINO Senate Leader John Thune Gets RATIOED Into Oblivion After Bragging Republicans “Delivered” — America First Voters Aren’t Buying It

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) tried to take a victory lap Tuesday night. The grassroots took the lap away from him.

Thune posted a slick message claiming Republicans have spent the last two years delivering “more money in your pocket,” “safer streets,” and “more opportunities to get ahead,” while opposed the agenda “at every turn.”

The numbers tell the story. As of Wednesday morning the tweet had about 1,400 likes and more than 10,500 replies. That is not engagement. That is a public flogging.

Then came the Community Note.

X users attached a note that read:

The 119th was the least productive in history — No Congress has enacted less legislation or laws. Johnson has cancelled a total 63 scheduled voting days in the House, granting members an extra 2 months PTO, with no House votes scheduled until after the election.

The note is not the only problem for Thune. The Congressional Record résumé of activity for 2026 makes the Senate bottleneck impossible to spin.

According to the latest Résumé of Congressional Activity covering January 3 through August 31, 2026, the House passed 291 House bills.

The Senate passed only 20 of them. That leaves roughly 271 House bills still pending without a Senate floor vote under Leader Thune.

Grassroots organizer Scott Presler’s reply is now the real story. It has more than 12,700 likes, nearly ten times Thune’s original post.

“You have spent the last 2 years doing nothing to secure our elections after Republican voters delivered the popular vote & all 3 branches of gov’t.

Even DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said, ‘We have 300,000 [non-citizen registered voters] we’re looking into.’

The question millions of Americans have is why don’t you care about us?”

Voters handed Republicans the , the House, and the Senate. They asked for one thing above almost everything else: clean elections. Proof of citizenship to register. Voter ID. Removal of ineligible names from the rolls.

Thune would not do it.

Hunter Eagleman, a retired homicide detective, went straight at the record:

“You literally haven’t don’t shit. Our elections are still NOT secured. 40 MILLION still going to the Taliban. You’ve spent 8 weeks this year on vacation.”

Another user posted a screenshot and wrote: “Yet you refused to pass the SAVE act.”

Michael Flynn Jr. asked the question every patriot has been asking for months: “Are u fckn kidding? Election security anyone?”
