## U.S. Senate[edit]

Daines Twitter account was suspended apparently because a hunting photo with a dead elk may have caused sexual arousal among liberals.[1]

### Tenure[edit]

In January 2019, Daines announced he had created a pro-life caucus in the U.S. Senate.[2][3]

Despite having planned to object to the official "results" of the 2020 U.S. presidential election,[4] Daines later bailed out on conservatives and voted to certify the Biden "victory".[5] This was after paid protesters[6] and Antifa thugs[7] infiltrated a peaceful protest organized by Trump protesters, breaking their way into the United States Capitol Building.
