As Twitchy reported last week, MAGA was not happy with Sen. Thom Tillis, who stood in opposition to President Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney for D.C., Ed Martin. Tillis single-handedly was blocking his confirmation, reportedly over Martin's support for January 6 political prisoners. Trump has since pulled Martin's nomination and replaced him with Fox News co-host Jeanine Pirro. If the Senate does not confirm a U.S. Attorney for D.C. before May 20, activist Judge Jeb Boasberg would get to choose.
On Friday, Tillis tried to get back in with the good graces of conservatives by posting about liberals freaking out over the "persecution" of Justice Sonya Sotomayor.
This is incredibly rich after liberals spent all of last year freaking out about the political views of Justice Alito’s wife. It is not the job for Justice Sotomayor or any other judge to be partisan politicians in robes. Their job is to follow the Constitution. pic.twitter.com/uyc2GYHFXg

Too little, too late.
Don’t pretend to be a conservative now, Thom…

You're being primaried in 2026. We will all support the challenger. Get used to the idea now

Hey, buddy. I'm one of your constituents here in ENC. I'm an active voter. By failing to get with the @realDonaldTrump program, you just lost me. I'll be watching for a valid replacement for you.

This is incredibly rich after you blocked Ed Martin, loser.

Speaking of rich, country singer John Rich even composed a short ode to Tillis.

Tillis is getting primaried, and voters aren't going to forget how he kneecapped Trump's nominee.
