In a desperate attempt to spite President Donald Trump, notorious RINO Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) has vowed to oppose any of Trump’s nominees who ‘Excuse” the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, citing his anger over the incident and Trump’s decision to pardon 1,500 people involved. Despite his upcoming retirement, Tillis seems committed to standing in Trump’s way whenever possible.
For context, Tillis referred to the people pardoned by Trump as “thugs” and argued for them to be jailed again. In addition to opposing Trump’s nominees, Sen. Tillis has routinely stood in the way of the president seeking an end to the Ukrainian conflict and Trump’s desire to cut back on government waste.
Such was shown when the RINO went on a bitter rant where he threatened, “The president should know if there is anyone coming up for a nomination through any committee of my jurisdiction that excuse Jan. 6 that they’re not going to get confirmed in my remaining tenure in the US Senate, ” adding,
What the president did sucked.”
Echoing the DNC line on the January 6th protest, Tillis whined, “I still call those people who got pardoned by the president thugs. There are about 200-300 people that should be behind bars now for what they did on Jan. 6.”
Concluding his barrage of controversial statements, the senator lobbed insults at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, saying, “With the passing of time, I think it’s clear he’s out of his depth as a manager of a large, complex organization.”
Reacting to the RINO’s decision to step down, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk wrote, “Thom Tillis routinely fought to increase American intervention abroad while rejecting border security at home. He has also been a chief obstacle to the timely confirmation of President Trump’s nominees,” adding, “His retirement is a golden opportunity to make North Carolina’s senators reflect the priorities of North Carolina’s Republican voters.”
In the comments under his post, conservatives celebrated the controversial Republican decision to step down. One such comment detailed Tillis’ history of betraying his conservative values, saying, “Well, well, well…Thom Tillis voted for the Biden agenda more than almost every Republican. 40% of the time, he voted with the Dems. Thom voted for the $1 trillion money laundering “Infrastructure Bill”. Now Tillis votes against POTUS Trump’s and MAGA agenda.”

Suggesting a replacement for the widely despised RINO, one comment said, “Tillis may have received a high paying job from one of the companies or organizations he was trying to help with his no vote. Wish he represented his constituents and America with the same level of conviction. Speaking of conviction: @markrobinsonNC would make a great Senator.”
One woman, annoyed by the North Carolina Senator’s theatrics, reacted, “Oh pooooor Thom and this ‘pity me’ announcement.. there’s a difference between being an independent thinker and blatantly turning your back on constituents in favor of lobbyist dollars. Good riddance!”
Recounting Tillis’s many mistakes and betrayals, another commentator noted, “Re his ‘Balls & Strikes’: Jr. Sen Tillis was sent to DC to enact the will of North Carolinians, but was quickly neutered by the allure of the Beltway Slime, ignoring his constituents. Strike 3 was Thom’s HURRICANE HELENE NO SHOW, which cost untold NC lives & hardships! GAME OVER!”
