Thom Tillis tore into his GOP colleagues over their support for the SAVE America Act.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1424\">22-Year-Old Man Accused Of Supporting ISIS, Planning Attack In US<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tillis\u2019s 15-paragraph message to fellow Republicans reportedly opened on a cordial note, wishing senators some rest after another vote-a-rama, before quickly criticizing GOP colleagues over their support for the SAVE America Act in a copy of the message obtained by the Daily Caller.<\/p>\n<p>But it quickly turned into a pointed critique of the proceedings, particularly votes tied to the SAVE Act and the 1776 Fund (colloquially known as the Anti-Weaponization Fund), which he argued could create \u201cpolitical headwinds\u201d for Republicans heading into the midterm elections. <strong>(RELATED: Sen Thom Tillis, A Key Holdout Against Trump\u2019s Fed Nominee, Backs Down, Says He\u2019ll Vote To Confirm)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, we added weight to that albatross by having 41 members vote to protect the program. In addition, we allowed two SAVE Act votes that had no place in vote-a-rama, which prompted a circular firing squad led by Tommy Tuberville and some of our Republican colleagues,\u201d Tillis wrote.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p>The North Carolina senator said he did not understand why a supermajority of Republicans opposed his amendment, which he said was offered at the request of members in competitive races. He explained it would have eliminated the 1776 payout fund while redirecting $1.7 billion to a fraud prevention initiative.<\/p>\n<p>He argued senators who opposed the measure over concerns it could jeopardize reconciliation privilege were \u201cmisinformed or a victim of groupthink,\u201d adding they should have applied the same reasoning to the SAVE Act because \u201chad either version of the SAVE Act been adopted, the underlying bill would also have been at risk of losing privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p>Tillis also warned that Democrats could have strategically supported the measure and then used it to challenge the bill\u2019s privilege, and criticized leadership for forcing repeated SAVE Act votes that put vulnerable members in difficult political positions heading into the election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>He said he expected most Democrats to oppose his amendment due to DOJ\/fraud funding, but still offered it as a compromise vehicle for members to air concerns about the 1776 Fund, noting he had checked in advance with Democrats and knew it would not pass or threaten the underlying bill. <strong>(RELATED: Here\u2019s How The Anti-Weaponization Fund Will Really Work \u2014 And Who It Could Help)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Citing a June 4 X post from Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Tillis highlighted a message in which Tuberville wrote, \u201cIt was beyond EMBARRASSING that \u2018Republicans\u2019 continue to block the SAVE America Act @SenThomTillis, @LisaMurkowski, @SenMcConnell, and @SenatorCollins have not only betrayed their constituents \u2013 they are ACCOMPLICES in Democrats\u2019 \u2018Illegals First\u2019 agenda.

Senator Tuberville stands by every word of his tweet and thinks senators should be accountable for their votes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tillis said Republicans advanced SAVE Act votes even though \u201ceveryone knew the SAVE Act votes would fail,\u201d arguing they did so at the President\u2019s request and \u201cat the expense of our members.\u201d He said the result \u201csimply prompted more attacks on our own,\u201d which he suggested may have been Trump\u2019s point.<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed to earlier pressure on vulnerable senators during the Schumer amendment on the 1776 Fund and motion to commit, noting that he and Republican Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy voted against it to give in-cycle members more flexibility. Afterward, he said he told vulnerable members he would vote however a majority of them wanted, effectively offering his \u201cproxy for the night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tillis argued that forcing votes with \u201cno upside for in-cycle members\u201d and then attacking colleagues for those votes undermines efforts to hold the majority.<strong> (RELATED: Senate Passes Major Immigration Enforcement Bill After Weaponization Fund Threw Wrench In Process)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He concluded that last week\u2019s reconciliation process was \u201ca net loss for in-cycle members,\u201d warning that while DHS funding is important, the \u201cgain will not offset the pain\u201d in key races, and urging Republicans to avoid further \u201cunforced errors\u201d heading into November.<\/p>\n<p>Tillis\u2019s is not seeking re-election and is set to retire at the end of his term on January 3, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Caller reached out to Tillis\u2019s office for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1420\">Supreme Court Declines To Hear Appeal In Case About Man Stripped Of Gun Rights Over Missing Child Support<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican North Carolina Sen.
