President Donald Trump is not a fan of South Dakota Sen. John Thune.
The outgoing president went after Thune on Tuesday night via social media, calling the second highest ranked Republican in the U.S. Senate a “RINO,” meaning Republican In Name Only, and “Mitch’s boy,” in reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The social media attack on Thune comes following remarks made by the 59-year-old Murdo native about efforts by some GOP members in the U.S. House to reject Electoral College results and stop President-elect Joe Biden from being sworn in next month.

“The thing they’ve got to remember is, it’s just not going anywhere. I mean, in the Senate it would go down like a shot dog,” Thune told reporters on Capitol Hill Monday night before a floor vote on the latest COVID-19 relief package.
“And I just don’t think it makes a lot of sense to put everybody through this when you know what the ultimate outcome is going to be,” Thune said.
Trump isn’t happy
