@SenMcCormickPA McCormick: "But right now, I have to go gavel in a pro forma session. Thune won't let Trump have any recess appointments & I follow his commands."
You are a fraud & a puppet!
@RWrasse I'm sure you will justify the next gaveling in of a pro forma session sanctioned by Thune.
Your pal Thune will be the first Majority Leader in history to allow ZERO recess appointments.
Defending this traitor is an act of blind loyalty!
@SleeperMets The Mets need some righty power. Bichette is the only legit HR hitter from the right side. Maybe Alvarez if he can become more consistent.
@toddstarnes I wish @BretBaier asked Thune these questions:
"Why are you the 1st majority leader in history to block the President's recess appointments?"
"Why did you gavel in every pro forma session?"
Instead, Baier allowed Thune to play the victim of unfair criticism.
@llambchops@BretBaier I was begging Bret Baier to ask Thune, "Why are you gaveling in pro forma sessions to block Trump from making recess appointments?"
But I realized that it was a softball interview & it would take an unbiased journalist to challenge Thune.
@EricLDaugh I was begging @BretBaier to ask, "Why are you gaveling in pro forma sessions to block Trump from making recess appointments?"

@GuntherEagleman The first step would have been ending the gavel in process for pro forma sessions. These were done solely for the purpose of blocking President Trump's recess appointments.
@SpecialReport@LeaderJohnThune Why don't you ever ask Thune why his Senate has passed ZERO Executive Orders?
And why he is the first Majority Leader to gavel in every pro forma session?
Isn't that your job as a reporter??
@SenatorRounds@LeaderJohnThune Did Thune order you to post this? Did he give you a gavel for the next pro forma session yet?
He knows you will follow his demands!
#PUPPET
@RepChipRoy The Republicans are mutual admiration society.
Despite getting demolished in last week's elections, you praise & elect do nothing losers who failed and betrayed your constituents.
You are tone deaf & oblivious to the distrust of your voters!
@SenJohnKennedy Voting present when you know your vote won't change the outcome is an empty gesture.
We needed a more aggressive act to challenge the re-election of disgraceful John Thune.
@SenRonJohnson@SenRickScott The Republican Senate is mutual admiration society. Despite getting demolished in last week's elections, you praise each other, re-electing losers who failed and betrayed your constituents.
Why are you so tone deaf & oblivious to the distrust of your voters?
@SenRickScott Are you actually patting yourself on the back after the Senate re-elected disgraceful John Thune?
Don't you think an apology would have been more appropriate?
@SenRickScott When Thune actually asked what he could have done differently, did you mention:
Stop gaveling in pro forma sessions?
Pass some of the 600+ bills submitted by Congress?
Pass the Save America Act?
Or did the whole room sit in dumbfounded silence before voting?
