Turning Point USA puts John Thune on notice after red state primary purge
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Turning Point USA, the conservative political group, is threatening to deploy its campaign tactics against Trump's GOP enemies in other red states after a recent victory. “[A lot of Republicans] will lose their jobs if they don’t get on board, they don’t listen to their voters, if they don’t do the right thing and fight the manipulation of the Democrats,” Tyler Bowyer, the Chief Operating Officer of TPUSA Action, told the Daily Caller in a Wednesday article. Bowyer's warning comes after an election on Tuesday where TPUSA Action helped Trump oust five Indiana GOP lawmakers who opposed his demand to redistrict the state, the Caller noted. "Now, TPUSA Action tells the Daily Caller that their work isn't done," according to the article. In particular, TPUSA and Trump have Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) in their crosshairs. "Guys like Thune should be on watch, that aren’t getting the will of the people done with the SAVE America Act," Bowyer told the Caller, referring to the bill Republicans are pushing in the Senate to require proof of U.S. citizenship and a photo ID to vote in federal elections.Bowyer added that red states not willing to get on board with the Trump agenda, " particularly in the South after the Supreme Court ruling, should be on watch." Along with Thune, “those are the two biggest targets here on who might be next." According to the Caller, “dozens and dozens” of TPUSA staff were deployed to Indiana ahead of the primaries. "The organization worked with Scott Presler, a popular conservative influencer known for chasing ballots, to barnstorm the state and get Republican voters out to the polls," the Caller added, bringing up that Trump and his allies spent $10 million to boot the Indiana lawmakers who rejected his redistricting demands.
