“I’ve had senators tell me that I am demoralizing the base and I am going against the president. Well, the president has our back,” Pressler said. “Dear Senate Majority Leader Thune, there is no greater demoralization to the base than for us to have all three branches of government and to have majorities and to not pass the very legislation, after what we saw in the 2020 election, to ensure that tragedies like that never happen again.”
“If you campaign on closing the border and securing our elections and stopping wars and deportations, and you do not deliver, then how can we expect to keep those majorities?”
“Get the hell outta here.”
This is the attitude that our elected officials have for Republican voters — contempt.
“I’m the assh@le saying you can’t come in.”

SCOTT PRESSLER: Here’s my message. I’ve had senators — and I’m not going to say who — tell me that I am demoralizing the base and I am going against the president.
Well, the president has our back. He even canceled the Housing Act signing because of the SAVE America Act. So, number one, the president supports this. And number two, I would say:
Dear Senate Majority Leader Thune, there is no greater demoralization to the base than for us to have all three branches of government and to have majorities and to not pass the very legislation, after what we saw in the 2020 election, to ensure that tragedies like that never happen again.
And if you campaign on closing the border and securing our elections and stopping wars and deportations, and you do not deliver, then how can we expect to keep those majorities in the 2026 and beyond elections if you do not deliver?
And really, that’s what I would say to him. It is the worst demoralization for us to not deliver on behalf of the people.
Look at the difference between how the Senate is acting right now and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. To anyone who says anything, look at what we did with McCarthy. We replaced McCarthy, and we got an upgrade.
Speaker Mike Johnson, whatever people will say about him, he’s about to pass the SAVE America Act for the fourth time, with one of the most narrow majorities in American history in the House. And yet, he’s able to coalesce Scott Perry and Mike Lawler, all in the same spectrum, and get that broad, diverse House coalition together on bills.
And if the House can do it, then I have no doubt that the Senate can do it. And it shows the difference in leadership styles. And I hope that our Senate, with the few remaining months that we have — because they’re about to go on vacation again, Benny. They have pretty much the month of August off — I hope that the Senate gets its act together on behalf of We, The People.
