RINO Senate Majority Leader John Thune lashed out at Trump after the President blasted Thune over the SAVE America Act in a statement this morning.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump said the Democrats “can’t believe how lucky they got” with Thune as Senate Majority Leader amid an ongoing feud between Thune and the White House over the SAVE Act.
Trump went on to tell reporters on Air Force One this afternoon that Thune needs to “get his job done,” though he said he has a “good relationship with John Thune” and declined to say whether Thune should be ousted as majority leader.

“Instead of you know pointing the finger at Republicans, they might think about going after the people who are stopping it on the floor, which is the Democrats, and if there are Republicans that they think are gettable, get on the phone,” he added.
So, the Democrats are “stopping it on the floor,” but Thune also admits that members of his own caucus are not currently willing to vote for it. And at the same time, the White House needs to stop “pointing the finger at Republicans,” according to Thune’s contradictory statement.
