Here’s the kind of thing a political party probably doesn’t want: Gatekeeping. It’s just never a good look and this latest bit of gatekeeping is especially egregious.
Here we have a GOP event in South Dakota. The big headliner? John Thune. The very same John Thune who is in the hotseat for his lack of action on the Save Act. That’s the voter ID bill that is incredibly popular across all voters in America. Left, Right and Center, everyone wants elections to be on the up and up. Fair. Only citizens get to vote. So, why isn’t Thune trying to get it done? People want to know.
Meanwhile: Back at the GOP fundraiser in South Dakota, a young man by the name of Scott Pressler has an invitation to the event. You should also know that Scott has worked tirelessly to register voters across the country. When it comes to action ang getting things done? Scott is not the problem. Unless you’re not really planning on getting things done. Hmmmm.
Now the games can begin. Scott tries to enter the event and is shut out by some dude in a cowboy hat. A smug fella who is playing gatekeeper. A guy who isn’t afraid of speaking his mind into a camera.
It’s actually a nice confluence of events. It works as a metaphor. A Senator, John Thune, represents the swamp and just wants to give a speech and make some money. Scott represents voters who want results. And the guy in the hat is just a useful idiot. Sad really. The people are savvy to the BS now. No more gatekeeping. Time for people like Thune to either do what the voters want or get out of the way. Tada!
Here’s some more info on Scott:
As for the dude in the cowboy hat with the mustache? The goon, useful idiot guy? I don’t really care about that fella. He really put his foot in it. Dude effed up bigtime. I don’t feel the need to say more about him. That’s one of the big problems with being a goon. You do your thing and people just discard you. Sad. So, let’s not try to get him fired or ruin his life or anything stupid. We legit have bigger fish to fry. No use running around putting him on blast. Let’s focus on the big stuff.
Yeah. I follow Pressler. His mission in life is to get this Save Act passed. Rightly so!! I am so thankful he is going full boar on Thune. I think that if that does not get through, we are done as a nation. I guess Pelosi used to not give legislators ample time or stick things in the package noone knew about. Everyone signed it, because they all ” needed” to go on break! Get er done…long haired dude man!
I am disgusted and appalled how Scott Presler was treated at this South Dakota GOP fundraising dinner. No one has done more to sign up voters and get the word out about elections. He deserves to be treated with respect. This just goes to show you what the establishment GOP thinks about its voters and grassroots organizations that helped elect them back into power,but feel it is their right to question political inaction on important legislation like the Save Act. I’m glad he caught that flyer with his picture on it by the door. We all know why it was there and so does Thune. My hope is that John Thune (Who doesn’t deserve to be called Senator) is going to pay a price politically for this betrayal to his sworn oath and to how he treated Presler, which more and more conservative podcasters are picking up the story. It would only be fitting. The goon by the door will be called out for putting his face and rude mouth out in Presler’s social media universe. What a plonker.
I’m gonna have to dive into this one more on the podcast. Am really digging that we find out about this stuff in almosr real time now. Huge help. We can shake a lot of losers and rino’s loose. Scott is doing great stuff!
