(AP Photo\/Amanda Andrade-Rhoades)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 11:57 AM PT \u2013 Friday, January 14, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) shared strong words over Democrats wanting to kill the filibuster. He defended the measure, saying it prevents extreme changes in policy course when the opposition party wins elections. The lawmaker from South Dakota pointed out on Thursday that the Senate filibuster is designed to give a voice to smaller states like his.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe Senate was to be a place, where the leaderepointed out, where smaller states like my state of South Dakota have a voice, where the minority party in this country, where those who didn\u2019t win the election have a voice in the legislative process,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt requires bipartisanship, it requires consensus.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thune stressed Democrat proposals to reform the filibuster would erode federal representation in Washington and would further polarize the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis is all about stability, this is all about creating an atmosphere for moderation,\u201d said the Republican. \u201cIt\u2019s about predictability when it comes to our laws and the Senate Democrats are intent it seems. at least their leadership, on blowing this all up.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sen. Thune said the Republican Party must now focus on taking back Congress from Democrats and stopping their destructive agenda.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats\u2019 plan to nuke the filibuster, a lazy shortcut to force through their socialist agenda, would have terrible long-term consequences for our country. All majorities are temporary, and Dems will eventually have to live with the reality they create. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CllHO5xEyd\">pic.twitter.com\/CllHO5xEyd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator John Thune (@SenJohnThune) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenJohnThune\/status\/1481322206667943941?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/reps-perry-jordan-say-jan-6-panel-misrepresenting-facts-to-the-american-people\/\">Reps.
