Actor James Woods, who is no stranger to American politics, is now shredding Senate Majority Leader John Thune as a “treacherous rat” and “worthless piece of s***.”
In a brief post on X, Woods summed up his thoughts about the South Dakota Republican, saying, “No Trump judges, no voter ID SAVE Act, 50 bills already passed by the house in limbo.”
“Pardon my language, but this guy is a worthless piece of s***. He’s worse than a grifter Democrat. Fetterman has done more for the Republican platform than this weasel. Treacherous rat.”

Thune has hardly been a champion for President Donald Trump. Just a month before the 2016 election, Thune posted on X: “Donald Trump should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately.”

The comments by Woods caught the attention of Jim Hoft at the Gateway Pundit, who noted: “Senator Thune will not even pass Voter ID to save the country – an issue that that has over 80% support from the public!”
“Who is this treacherous rat really working for? It’s NOT the American people and it certainly IS NOT Republican voters. Calling Thune a ‘treacherous rat’ is being kind.”
As WorldNetDaily reported in March, Woods, who is a superfan of Trump, announced he is “done with the Republican Party,” saying he’s “disgusted” with the GOP’s refusal to protect election integrity, along with its members in Congress killing a motion to subpoena the immigration records of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
Woods voiced his extreme frustration: “Let’s get my position on the Republican Party crystal clear. I’ve been a registered Republican since Bill Clinton turned the Oval Office into his own personal brothel.
“Now that Senate Majority John Thune refuses to protect election integrity, I am disgusted with my party. I will NEVER vote for a Democrat in my life, but the RINO elements destroying the Republican party are a disgrace.
“I am a devout follower of President Trump, and as a registered Independent will continue to vote with Republicans when they stand behind this great President and act like Republicans again. Democrats, the ragtag band of con artists and grifters that they are, manage to work together in lockstep, but getting Republicans to accomplish anything is like herding cats. It’s absolutely infuriating.”
Woods previously said of the SAVE America Act being stalled in the U.S. Senate by Republican Majority Leader John Thune: “Sadly weasel John Thune is blocking the voice of the people. Somebody must have some serious dossier on this guy, that he would block the will of a super majority of Republicans and a healthy majority of Democrats.
“It may be the only thing both Democrats and Republicans have agreed on in years, yet the leaders of both parties, Schumer, and Thune, are blocking it with all their might. The deal stinks to high heaven.”
The actor also posted video of a disappointed Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., who said of Omar: “I tried to subpoena her immigration records, her brother husband’s immigration records, and it was Republicans that killed my motion.”
“I am done with the Republican Party,” Woods commented atop that video.
“Between this and Thune’s refusal to pass the SAVE Act, I’m done with these uniparty traitors. I’m changing my party affiliation to Independent. No wonder President Trump is fighting an uphill battle every day.”

Last month, as WorldNetDaily reported, Woods said of Democrat California candidate for governor Xavier Becerra: “This guy is the absolute worst. … Hard to believe California could get worse than it is under [Gavin] Newsom, but this guy Becerra just might actually have the ability to drag it into the depths of hell.”
