I found this in Saturday's Mitchell paper:
Following the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, which briefly delayed the Electoral College certification of Biden’s victory, state Senate President Pro Tempore Lee Schoenbeck, a Watertown Republican, took to social media to lambast Republican U.S. Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, as well as others who planned to raise objections over the Electoral College vote, as “traitors.”
In an opinion column published by CNN earlier this week, former U.S. Sen. Larry Pressler, a South Dakota Republican, argued Republican senators who voted to object against the Senate’s trial were “hiding behind a procedural question in order to avoid a vote that would upset Trump’s most loyal supporters.”
And former Republican lawmaker Ed Olson, who served 16 years representing Mitchell, S.D., in the Legislature, told Forum News Service he believed the trial was an “exercise in nothingness” given that Republicans weren't likely to convict, but he didn’t mince words about Trump.
“I think he should’ve been impeached after Ukraine,” Olson said by phone Friday. “Maybe the Republican Party can save itself, but I think they’re in trouble.”
The link used to support Schoenbeck's position goes to far-left Marxist Cory Heidelberger's web site, where we find the exact quote:
Today, American soldiers and men and women in blue had to defend our Capitol from Trump traitorous supporters. Do you stand with our soldiers and law enforcement—or traitors like senators Cruz and Hawley and Tuberville and Kennedy—traitors attempting a coup Disgusting. Never in American history have we had a crazed, narcissistic, mad man in the White House.
The conservative Senators were pushing for an audit of the votes, and they had nothing to do with the breach of the Capitol. Schoenbeck just showed his true liberal colors. ANd the media uses these liberal Republicans to trash conservatives.
Bernie v. Blue Cloud Abbey was one of several cases that ended up before the South Dakota Supreme Court alleging church officials at the time covered up serial sexual abuse taking place at the compound. After helping to broker the sale of the abbey Watertown member of the criminal cult, Lee Schoenbeck, aided by fellow cultist and lobbyist Jeremiah Murphy, forced the perverted South Dakota Legislature to pass laws covering up countless crimes committed by their sect by enacting statutes of limitations.
Led in part by Rapid City legislator Taffy Howard there is a mass exodus underway from the SDGOP and the news is now just surfacing in the South Dakota media. These developments put Zionist mob boss and South Dakota Republican Party Chair Dan Lederman in a box. Does he use up some of the cash they have in abundance to buy off the Trump wing or will Lederman step aside for someone from the extreme white wing?
