Mollie Hemingway Slams Senator John Thune for Not Stepping Aside as Leader: ‘Contempt for Voters’

Conservative writer and political analyst Mollie Hemingway appeared on Special Report with Bret Baier tonight and took a swipe at Senator John Thune for not stepping aside after the GOP’s horrible losses in the midterm elections last week. Hemingway pointed out that House Speaker Mike Johnson had the grace to read the room and announce that he will not seek the GOP leadership role in the House and suggested that Thune’s move showed contempt for (Republican) voters. All of this is correct. Senate Republicans are whistling past the graveyard, completely ignoring the brewing outrage on the right over the time they wasted not implementing Trump’s agenda, which conservative Americans voted for and expected to be carried out.

CONTEMPT FOR VOTERS: “For a lot of Republican voters, they were extremely disheartened by last Tuesday’s election results… Republican voters actually do want their Senate to be part of reclaiming the country. Whether that means codifying some of Trump’s achievements that he’s done through executive order, dealing with Temporary Protected Status or refugee reform, border control, or H-1B visa issues… they also worry that Thune doesn’t know what it’s gonna take to win those independents back who were willing to vote for Republicans just a couple of years ago if he didn’t even know what to do in the last two years.” @MZHemingway— Special Report (@SpecialReport) November 12, 2026
