WASHINGTON, May 21 -- Sen. John Thune issued the following press release:
U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) today delivered the following remarks on the Senate floor:
Thune's remarks below (as delivered):
"Mr. President, the Democrat Party has gone off the rails.
"It's no secret that the Democrat Party has drifted sharply leftward in recent years.
"And it's become increasingly divorced from the concerns of ordinary Americans.
"'Many Americans Say the [Democratic] Party Does Not Share Their Priorities' - that was a headline noted last year from The New York Times.
"But it is remarkable just how extreme Democrats have become.
"Everyone remembers the Democrat Party's flirtation with 'Defund the Police' a few years ago.
