MAGA loyalists tear into 'loser' GOP Sen. for press gala shooting remarks: 'A disgrace'
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
MAGA slammed Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) on Monday over his remarks after the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner amid the ongoing Department of Homeland Security funding standoff in Congress. GOP leaders were under pressure to end the ongoing stalemate as DHS employees, including Secret Service members who protected Trump, his cabinet, and the hundreds of politicians, diplomats, and journalists, on Saturday night, prepared to go without a paycheck, CNN reported."It is difficult to believe that this is the third time, the third time, President Trump has faced an assassination attempt... I am thankful for the many law enforcement officers who responded, in particular those who secured the shooter before he could harm the president or anyone else at the event," Thune said. "Incredibly, some of the law enforcement officers who responded are working for a department that is currently completely unfunded thanks to Democrats' refusal to negotiate on an Appropriations Bill."MAGA loyalists started to turn on Thune via social media: "Why have you allowed the good men and women of the Secret Service—who put their lives on the line for the President, his family, and his staff—to go without a paycheck for more than 70 days? This is inexcusable," attorney and former law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, Mike Davis, wrote on X."Someone came out of his coma," wrote user TamAZ, who self-describes as "America First," wrote on X."It is past time for you to be removed as leader. You are part of the resistance, working against the American people. What a disgrace," user Richard Turner, who shares MAGA and right-wing content, wrote on X. "Thune was too busy sabotaging President Trump and the American people to address another assassination attempt? Thune is not a 'leader' he is a loser. Thune can f--- all the way off," user CC, who self-describes as "original MAGA," wrote on X. "You did this!" Dr. J Brown, who self-describes as an farmer "behind the blue curtain" and "ultra MAGA," wrote on X.Why have you allowed the good men and women of the Secret Service—who put their lives on the line for the President, his family, and his staff—to go without a paycheck for more than 70 days?This is inexcusable. https://t.co/g7Mitqym8E— 🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 (@mrddmia) April 27, 2026
