Do you remember the 2021 Anti-Thune event from a couple of years back, where a group of anti-Thune trolls had an event under the picnic shelter in falls park to have what they claimed would be a big rally to find a candidate to run against the Senator?
For an event they had months to prep for, it seems to have been a complete flop.
When Julie Korth, leader of the “Primary John Thune Facebook Group” spent weeks calling for her fellow facebook warriors, q-anon followers, and meme consumers to show up in Sioux Falls at the farmer’s market picnic shelter for a free event with their announced US Senate candidate and an out of state speaker they recruited in a show of force for their political movement.. this is what they ended up with:
Er.. yeah.
That was the event that went over like flatulence in the wind, and featured Bruce Whalen, whom caught COVID at the event, and was ultimately recruited by the group to run against Senator Thune. As pictured above, their featured speaker at the event was Scott Presler, whose claim to fame is that he was one of the leaders of Gays for Trump.
Why do I bring this up? Because Presler is going on Fox News and social media, apparently threatening to come back to South Dakota if Senator Thune does not bring a vote on the SAVE Act.. which Senator Thune has already promised to do. But if our Senate Majority Leader doesn’t do things exactly as Presler wants.. he’s coming in March – Back to South Dakota – for a rally.
Well, good luck with that. Has he looked at the line up of candidates on the primary ballot? Who does he expect to be at events with? Justin McNeal? Given the last time Scott Presler was here, maybe they’ll once again manage to put together a couple dozen people.
Is it me, or does the caliber of VIP’s coming to South Dakota for political rallies leave a lot to be desired lately?
