-- I think Thune is choosing those words because conservatives tend to detest Cancel Culture as a bridge too far. --

Exactly. It's manipulative. Not that there is anything wroing with that, I just wish people were more independent thinkers and recognize that they (me included) can be misled by imprecise rhetoric, not just by outright falsehood.

The press and politicians are experts at misleading.

So now I’m part of the “cancel culture” because I don’t want McConnell, Haily, et al., to be political leaders?

(I would not, however, demand that they not be seated at table near mine should we happen to be dining at the same restaurant at the same time.)

ML/NJ

It is not cancel culture to kick traitors acting like democrats out of the Republican Party.

It is common sense.

I don’t really identify with the Republican party anymore anyway. I’m A Trump supporter and a conservative.

Cancel Thune. We cannot go forward with the Reppublican Party. McConnell et al will fight hard against conservative candidates in 22, preferring Democrats to nonMcC-approved corporate Republicans. A new Party may not win either given the ironclad Democrat control of the voting and vote counting process but we will not be giving our approval to the Republican subsidiary of the Democrat party.

Stupid GOP. Not sure how anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together could even vote for these ignorant traitors.

And what exactly does Thune think McConnell was doing in his post-impeachment-vote rant against Trump, if not practicing “cancel culture”??

Did McConnell vote in favor of the impeachment charge? No. But, instead he practiced the hypocrisy of the cancel culture by trying to have it both ways - voting against the impeachment charge but then using a media-loved anti-Trump rant to impeach Trump in the public mind.

There was literally NO case made. They made a fake video with bits and pieces out of context. This alone tells us the strength of their “case”.

This disgusting POS is as bad as any Democrat. Thune has been complicate in covering up election fraud and trying to cancel Trump by falsely claiming he incited the Capitol Building riot.

His approval numbers deserve to be as low as McConnell's.

Sen. John Thune, a top ally to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Aiming to punish senators who voted to convict former President Donald Trump.

Sample case of Oxymoron double speak.

“No more nose-holding. If that means losing the seat for a few cycles, so be it”.

Keep it up. You’ll end up with a Roy Moore or Sheriff Arpaio-seat gone for 6 years. You STILL have to have the best people SHOW UP. Nobody noteworthy is ready to take him on based on his disdain for Trump. Concentrate on recruitment 5 states(NH, Oh., Penn, Az.,NC) for starters. Next do something about Murkowski. Sarah’s it. If she doesn’t step up all the anger in the world toward Thune won’t change anything. Use your head.

They canceled Trump and all the people who sent him to drain the swamp
they are defending. They have been doing that since 2017 and before.

Now it is Their turn to be canceled.

There are some noteworthy but your not going to much about them due to the media black out and fake smears .
Many favor Trump and his ways they will appear it’s all a matter of timing and events look how Trump appeared so fast and so strong.

Go launch a party featuring King George, which is precisely what Mitchell he thinks he is.

We’ll give him a dandy good-bye party, in due time, and you with him Johnny, oh dear Johnny...
