Republican Senate Leader John Thune of South Dakota: “There is no place in our country for political violence. Period, full stop.”

I heard he was a drug dealer and got taken out by the competition.
But I don't believe everything I hear.

Isn’t he part of that party that committed ‘political violence’ on January 6th? What did we call that, again? Or how about the one that ended up having a hammer wilding intruder attack the Speaker of the House? Or the one that took over their state capital building by show of force? Or the one that attempted to kidnap a Governor? Or… or…🤦‍♂️

Credit where due, he made almost the same exact comments yesterday, after two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were assassinated.

For all I dislike about him, he’s being consistent here, which needs to be recognized.
