Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (RINO-SD) took to social media late Tuesday night after Republicans suffered heavy losses in the 2026 midterms, claiming a “strong record of accomplishment” on safer streets, tax cuts, border security, and judicial confirmations.
Conservative commentator Mike Cernovich, election-integrity attorney Cleta Mitchell, and other prominent voices blasted Thune for failing to advance President Donald Trump’s legislative priorities, particularly the SAVE America Act, despite Republicans controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress.
Democrats have secured control of the U.S. Senate, flipping at least seven Republican-held seats, including victories in Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
The Democratic Party also captured the House, delivering a devastating blow to President Trump’s congressional agenda ahead of 2027.
Yet Thune appeared determined to celebrate his record.
In a lengthy statement posted to X following Tuesday’s election, Thune declared:
Conservative commentator Mike Cernovich issued one of the harshest responses, accusing the Senate majority leader of squandering Republican control of Congress.
Cernovich wrote:
He then accused Thune of sabotaging the country, ending with the extraordinary personal insult, “You are a demon inside a human skin suit.”
Another conservative X user, Bad Hombre, similarly ripped Thune for failing to advance legislation passed by the Republican-controlled House.
The user accused Thune of repeatedly complaining about insufficient votes rather than finding a way to advance Trump’s priorities. The post concluded with a blistering demand for Thune’s immediate resignation.
Election-integrity attorney Cleta Mitchell delivered an even more devastating assessment of Thune’s leadership, accusing Senate Republicans of abandoning one of the most important election-integrity bills championed by President Trump.
