"Dave McCormick is the new senator for Pennsylvania," tweets Senate Republican Whip John Thune. "The idea that Schumer would not allow him to participate in Senate orientation is beyond unacceptable."

"The voters of Pennsylvania have spoken." Sen. Thune continues. "Looking forward to having Dave's strong voice in the Senate Republican Conference."

As Twitchy has documented, Thune is not the only Republican senator tweeting about this issue on the Sunday afternoon following Election Day.
