U.S. Sen John Thune (R-SD) joined Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday and it was reported that Thune commented on the recent attack by former President Trump of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Thune appeared unfazed and responded by saying that he believes “It’s part of the style and tone that comes with the former president.”

Last night, we reported:

The even bigger bombshell is that he allegedly lashed out at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, by calling him a “dumb son of a bitch”. 

From Fox News:

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said that he is not “afraid of a fight” if former President Donald Trump campaigns against him in 2022 after being labeled a “weak and inneffective RINO” by him earlier in the year.

“I’ve been through wars in South Dakota, political wars, with my own party when I ran the first time, with the Democrats in a couple of hotly contested Senate races, so being afraid of a fight or somebody coming after me is not something that’s going to influence that decision,” Thune told “Fox News Sunday.”

Thune has yet to officially announced that he’s running for re-election, but said he will provide an update on this in due time.

“I will announce something on my re-election plan, as I typically do, later in the year,” he said on Sunday. “I think these campaigns are way too long, cost way too much, and I think the American people — I know people in South Dakota — get weary of it, so I’m going to focus on doing the job, which I think is the best way to run for re-election in any election cycle. Who gets in against me is not going to be a factor in that decision.”

Thune was also quoted as saying that the Biden administration and some of the “far left” democrats have been hostile for a long time towards the 2nd amendment.

Restoring funds to build the wall along the southern border would be one of the biggest things President Biden could do to alleviate the crisis at the border, Thune added.
