Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) told reporters Monday that he “couldn’t disagree more” with former President Trump’s call to terminate parts of the Constitution in order to be reinstated president and said such comments present “a golden opportunity” for Trump’s rivals in 2024.
Thune, who was just reelected to a fourth Senate term, noted that federal officeholders take an oath to uphold the Constitution and added that he takes his seriously.
“Of course I disagree with that. I swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, and it is a bedrock principle — it is the principle, the bedrock of our country. So I couldn’t disagree more,” Thune said.
He predicted that “it will be the grist of the campaign” for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

Let it run wild!
Shows us exactly who the idiots are and boy is there a lot of them falling all over themselves. Bunch of fools!
Maybe the goal should be winning votes rather than saying something that will get people riled up just to show you "exactly who the idiots are."
I truly do not see any meaningful.
difference between the actual words used by Trump, and those headlines. The only differences come in if you start to argument what he “really meant” rather than what he actually said.
Deep State terminat3d the Constitution on January 6.
We are no longer a republic thanks to Deep State.
true but very stupid of Trump to say that, if he did
He plays into the opposition sometime
The TDS is strong in you banana republicans..
What part of the Constitution haven’t the democrats already terminated.
I like to call them RINOCRATS.
Exactly.
He’s doing just that to torque the left and show them up as the hypocrites that they are.
If it wasn’t for cancelling the US Constitution Joe Biden would not be president.
Thune, one of the worst RINOs ever.
Yup.
He said the massive fraud of the type done by the Democrats disables the protections of the rules and regulations and articles of the Constitution. In other words, it’s the Democrats terminating the Constitution!
+++++
I have to admit that I have not studied the Trump statement on the subject. But I’m betting you have it about right.
What I don’t get is the idea that it is a good strategy to give your enemy a pile of ammunition in a supposed attempt to achieve the absolutely impossible replacement of Biden.
Trump is a smart guy, a very smart guy. But I think he made a bad political move on this one. The press will beat him to death over his proposal to “do away with the Constitution”.
The press will beat him to death, regardless of any facts or truths. And President Trump did not propose doing away with the Constitution; the leftist spin machine always twists the narrative in their favor. At least he is going down fighting, and trying to expose the lies of the left. Alinsky tactics being used constantly, will wear down the best of us. RULE 12: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”, and other actions.

Per President Trump:
“What I said was that when there is “MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION,” as has been irrefutably proven in the 2020 Presidential Election, steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG.”
Have you noticed how Trump doesn’t really have people…?
thanks
I later read his original statement, and my take away was the “fraud & deception” undermines the rule of law
One again, the Leftniks are projecting what they want to do to the Constitution with misstatements of what they think Trump said.
