Senate Majority Leader John Thune (RINO-SD) lashed out at White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday after she publicly called on the Republican-controlled Senate to pass President Donald Trump’s critical SAVE America Act. During Thursday’s White House press briefing, Leavitt was asked whether President Trump’s patience with Thune was running out as the Senate continued to stall the landmark election-integrity legislation.
Leavitt confirmed that the President will not tolerate Thune’s inaction much longer. “The president spoke about this directly yesterday. His patience is running out. He wants to see as much of the same America passed as possible by the August recess,” Leavitt said. “He was just traveling on the road yesterday, spoke about this, and there was a very loud applause from the people in the audience, the everyday Americans because voter ID is common sense. They want proof of citizenship in our elections, and the president feels very strongly about that.” She continued, “I would just add, you know, the American people elected overwhelmingly Republicans to lead, not just this White House but also the House and the Senate. The House did its job. The Senate needs to do its job, too.”
