Feel free to retract and apologize. Try getting your facts straight. Oh, wait. It's Politico. x.com/toddstarnes/st…

Rep. Tim Burchett told me live on my radio show:

"I had an off-the-record conversation with a fairly prominent member of the media that said Thune had sent the word out that he does not want me because I would not be - I would not do - what leadership told me to do type thing. And I said, you know what, you're exactly right. And I was so glad to hear Senator Blackburn, Governor-elect Blackburn say Washington's not going to decide who the senator is. She is. And I hope that that carried some weight because I won't. I'm sure John Thune is a good guy, but I don't think his leadership is what we need right now in the United States Senate. And I love the fact that he's not for me."

Broken promises! Thank you to @TND for the conversation about why Republicans were blown out in the midterms. The GOP went soft on deportations. They did not abolish the Dept. of Education. They did not punish schools that allow men to compete in women's sports. And what was supposed to be a quick strike on Iran has turned into a war with no end in sight.

JUST IN: Sources tell me that John Thune is actively campaigning to stop Marsha Blackburn from naming Rep. Tim Burchett as her replacement in the U.S. Senate. Thune does not want Burchett anywhere near the Senate chamber. And that's what makes Burchett the perfect choice! @timburchett

One thing that the midterm elections taught us is that all of the so-called MAGA influencers are not all that influential after all. And it would be very wise for donors to any student political organization to demand evidence of what exactly they are doing to advance the conservative movement. There a lot of smoke & mirrors in the lucrative conservative social media world. #GriftersGalore
