Too little, too late, Sen. Thom Tillis. As Twitchy reported, MAGA World was not happy with the Republican Senator for single-handedly sinking the confirmation of President Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney for D.C., Ed Martin, because Martin had served as an attorney for January 6 defendants. Country singer John Rich even composed an ode to Tillis. Tillis raised the danger that activist Judge Jeb Boasberg would be given the authority to choose the U.S. Attorney for D.C. With Martin's confirmation dead in the water because of Tillis, Trump instead nominated Judge Jeanine Pirro. Tillis posted that Pirro is a great choice.
Jeanine Pirro has had a long and storied career as a prosecutor and she is a great choice by @POTUS to serve as U.S. Attorney for DC!

Read the room, Senator. You're going to be primaried. And I believe Trump will campaign against you.

No one wants your opinion, senator.
We won’t forget what you did to Ed Martin.

I will help whoever primaries you, mark my words.
I don't make the rules, senator. These are the facts: People are fuming and want to primary you. What will you do about it?

Your political career is over @SenThomTillis.

Start packing your bags.
Will you help Primary Out @SenThomTillis in 2026?

You're not fooling anyone, Tillis.

No, he's not.
Sheesh. This is embarrassing. He’s faking it. Much like the wife of a @BulwarkOnline staffer.

Ed Martin would have been a great choice too Thom.

One of Thomas' aides must've showed him internal polling for next year's GOP Senate primary in North Carolina.

Too late for sucking up and pretending you're on the team.

You should probably be quiet for a while. 😂 Ed Martin was a great choice, shame on you.

He really should have laid low and kept quiet. Expressing his approval of Pirro isn't fooling anyone. He's still getting primaried.
