Speaker 0 says they are thankful for Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s staff for making a call that led to banning them, because it exposed “what’s going on.” Speaker 0 argues that people may view South Dakota, North Dakota, and Idaho as “bastions of conservatism,” but claims that “rhino establishment authoritarians” are “in charge.” Speaker 0 then addresses Thune directly, saying Thune should have allowed them to attend the event, which Speaker 0 says would have prevented the situation from becoming a nationwide story. Speaker 0 claims that Thune’s move to “Bandy” and to “shut [them] up” and “shut [them] out” caused Speaker 0’s movement to trend on social media for nearly 24 consecutive hours as one of the top trends in America. Speaker 0 also says that after the event, when they went to Wal-Mart the next day, at least ten people told them they saw what happened to Speaker 0 and said it was wrong and shameful. Speaker 0 concludes by telling Thune that in 24 hours, Thune helped them reach more voters than Speaker 0 could have personally knocked in 24 months, and thanks him.
Speaker 1 responds by saying the people involved are “dumb,” and claims that if Thune had been staffed correctly, Speaker 1 would have tried to make the situation go away by having Thune sit down with Speaker 0 without recording it. Speaker 1 suggests turning off phones and having a staffer snap a photo of Thune and Scott Pressler talking politely together. Speaker 1 says Thune is “on your level,” and proposes that Thune would sit next to Speaker 0, they would chat about the “Save America Act,” Thune would explain where he is at, and Speaker 0 would explain where they are at. Speaker 1 claims that such a photo would do more for Thune’s image than a press release or a “hundred million dollar ad buy,” and says it would “immediately” build a bridge and fix a “big wound” for the base. Speaker 1 contrasts this with what they say actually happened, alleging that Thune was “palling around,” and specifically mentions seeing him at UFC 250 having a “grand old time” partying at the White House, and mentions a meeting with Scott Pressler. Speaker 1 says this is an insult to the base. Speaker 1 adds that they claim others went on social media and lied about Speaker 0, and says they “can’t stand that” when they lie and attack the base. Speaker 1 also references John Cornyn, claiming he “did this to us a few years back” by savagely attacking.
