John Thune warns on Fox News
by Flint: John Thune
John Thune, Senate Majority Leader, says the far-left is driving the US Senate agenda and will push packing the Supreme Court plus tax hikes if Democrats take control. He claims Talarico represents those positions and won't change his stance even if elected despite trying to walk away from them in a prior interview. The progressive wing holds the energy and resources demanding these moves on economic policy, national security, and cultural issues. Thune frames this as a choice between more government with less freedom versus less government with more freedom. He urges voters in Texas to support Ken Paxton to keep the country on the right path. The author asserts the filibuster should have been eliminated months ago. We need to pass the SAVE AMERICA Act because opponents must cheat to win.

down the list of the list of horribles that the democrats if they gain power those are the things they're going to work on and they're going to go back and raise taxes after we did everything to lower taxes for the american people allow them to keep more money in their own pockets and take care of themselves and their families you got a democrat party that is is driven now by the socialist agenda and on every level whether it's economic policy national security cultural issues things like packing the Supreme Court. This is the agenda of the far left, and he represents that. And he's now trying to walk away, as the previous interview showed, from some of those positions. But those are his positions. That is not going to change if he gets there and votes, because that is the demand of the progressive wing of the Democrat Party, which is where the energy and the resources and everything else is in America today. And it's true in the United States Senate. It is the far left now that's driving the agenda in the United States Senate. And if they get the majority there, that's going to be the agenda that they will be working on. And it is the absolute wrong one for the American people, which is why the president last night and his remarks and everything that you hear around this convention is making very clear the choice before the American people. And it's one of whether you want more government and less freedom or less government and more freedom. And I think, you know, the American people and the people of Texas and the state right here, at least, in the Paxton race, are going to have that clear choice. And they're going to decide to vote for Ken Paxton and to keep this country headed in the right direction.
