Trump loyalists want to punish Republicans for not defending him more



By Associated Press -February 1, 2021 9:39 AM

'They're trying just to destroy President Trump. They see him as a threat.'

Longtime South Dakota Republican voter Jim Thompson is ready to leave the GOP, hoping that an exodus of Donald Trump supporters like him will punish the state's preeminent politician, Sen. John Thune, for defying Trump.

Thompson, a retired rodeo announcer and broadcaster, watched Trump's calls for supporters to come to Washington to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden's election victory and he saw the ensuing assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. But as Congress tries to hold Trump accountable for his actions, Thompson sees an agenda to banish Trump from politics and return the party to establishment figures such as Thune, the second-ranking GOP leader in the Senate.

"We were tired of the way things were going, we were tired of political answers and spin," Thompson said.

A rodeo announcer wants to and he was all for insurrection, and he has a fucking radio channel to spew his shit sandwich.
And as for John Thune he is nothing more than an enabler to the treason of the Constitution, his voting record says as much, maybe for added measure the radio announcer should be banned and boycotted from the air waves, who are is sponsors.......
