You know that arrogant moment when a RINO like Senate Republican Leader John Thune (R-SD) insults the American people by dismissing their demands for election security as fake noise from “paid influencers”? That’s exactly what happened when Thune downplayed the massive grassroots push for the SAVE America Act, suggesting it’s all manufactured by a “paid influencer ecosystem.” In a conversation with NBC News reporter Brennan Leach, Thune said: “A lot of that is, it’s in that kind of, you know, paid influencer ecosystem.” He added there’s support among GOP Senators, but “the process & how do you ultimately try & get a result is still unclear to me.”

Thune’s “paid influencer” theory falls apart the moment you look at the actual data. Recent polling proves that the American people, regardless of party, are sick and tired of the establishment’s refusal to secure our elections. According to the White House: 71% support the SAVE America Act — including 69% of independents and half of rank-and-file Democrats.
– 81% favor requiring voter ID — backed by 79% of independents and 70% of Democrats.
– 80% want states to purge non-citizens from voter rolls.
– 75% support proof of citizenship to vote.
– 61% support sharing unredacted voting rolls with the Department of Homeland Security.
– 60% call the SAVE America Act a “commonsense way to stop fraud and protect the security of our elections.”
– 58% recognize at least some voter fraud exists in the U.S.
– 85% agree only U.S. citizens should vote in our elections — including 84% of independents and 82% of Democrats.
These numbers align with other polling that shatters Democrats’ tired narrative:
– Pew Research Center: 83% of Americans — including wide majorities of Democrats, independents, Whites, Blacks, and Latinos — favor voter ID requirements.
– Gallup: 84% support voter ID, with 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats on board — while an equally robust 83% back proof of citizenship for voter registration.
– Rasmussen Reports: 75% support voter ID, with support increasing over the past decade.
– Heritage Action: Strong majorities across five battleground states support the SAVE America Act.
– Additional surveys, including from Napolitan News Service and The Center Square, consistently reveal extraordinary bipartisan support for voter ID.
The support for basic election security is not just a “Republican issue”; it is an American mandate. Thune is essentially calling millions of concerned citizens, fed up with rigged elections and non-citizen voting, paid shills. This is an insult to every hardworking American who demands secure borders and fair votes.
Patriots are furious, and rightfully so. Thune’s detachment shows why the GOP establishment has failed for years — they ignore the people and protect the swamp. The SAVE Act would end non-citizen voting and secure our elections, but RINOs like him block it because it threatens their power. Trump is fighting for real change, but the Uniparty resists.
The left will cheer Thune’s comments, but the polls don’t lie. Americans want voter ID and proof of citizenship — now. Time to drain the swamp and pass the SAVE Act.
