Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

You were expecting anything else?

Senator Eric Schmitt
[February 3, 2026]

Democrats want to talk about immigration enforcement?
Bring it on.
Let’s talk about ending sanctuary cities, increasing penalties for illegal entry & reentry, protecting our law enforcement officers, & defunding rogue NGOs.
We’re not backing down.
[….]

“[Eric] Schmitt is a Fascist doosh”

Some of the responses to Erics Schmitt (r):

Obama deported more, did less harm, followed appropriate processes (due process… remember that one?) and didn’t send 1000s of war-kitted vigilantes against entire cities to do it. So sure – let’s talk about it.

bud – Joe McCarthy died drunk, broke and disgraced in 1957 over his fake ‘red scare’ – take the hint, catch up to the 21st century…

I support legislation raising the bar for training for federal agents and requiring them to wear body cams and properly identify themselves.

We’re not backing down either, Schmitty!
[….]

Any legislation to address skyrocketing utilities in MO? Or do you just shit talk on cable news all day?

If immigration is such a problem why did the House reject a comprehension plan to address at least a part of the problem?
Because Trump told them to reject it in order for him to have a fear factor in his campaign for the presidency!

==========

Let’s have a town hall and discuss it for real

Yea, he knows better. He’s too 🐔.

He’s too scared. He can’t face his constituents.

===========

I think they want to talk about ethical enforcement vis-a-vis the US Constitution and Bill of Rights

Eric Schmitt has no shame, no honor, no respect,no integrity, no ideas 💡, obviously no character, no dignity, no substance, zero morals, and no damn sense whatsoever. If his lips 👄 are moving, he’s definitely 💯 lying.🤥

10th Amendment
Sanctuary cities are considered a 10th Amendment issue because the “anti-commandeering” doctrine prohibits the federal government from forcing state and local law enforcement to execute federal immigration programs. Policies limiting cooperation with immigration authorities (ICE) are defended as a lawful exercise of state sovereignty

When a politician refuses to recognize and attempt to address the abuses of a failed system it’s time to look elsewhere for leadership.November 2026 will be here before we know it.

You’re not backing down from immigration. You’re backing away from accountability.

You have only one talking point. What about the economy, access to healthcare, the cost of living and the uncontrolled spending at the federal level. Have you met with constituents in KC and STL to actually hear what on their mind? We expect that when immigration enforcement is active, it is compliant with law and not done in a reckless manner. Is that so crazy for you to understand?

Liberty and justice for some?

What about that deficit? What about health care? Cost of living? How about working on things that the people of Missouri really need.

Yeah, when ICE & DHS are violating the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 10th and 14th amendments of the Constitution, I think there just might be a case or two or dozens that we can address before ICE is continued to operate. Stop that criminal operation, investigate and prosecute.

Not backing down … and also not winning in any of the polls.

There’s that.

of course your not backing down, you’ve still got half the bill of rights to violate!

You’re a fucking boot, licking piece of shit. Protect law-enforcement? I think you got that a little fucking twisted.

Fun Fact.. Maybe your current tactics are not working and are very unpopular. People dont like it when innocent people get terrorized and killed.

The brutality and lawlessness (entering homes without a warrant as an example) of ICE and Border Patrol must stop. I’m tired about spin and blame placing – it has to start with ICE and Birder Patrol at this point.

“Chinga La Migra”

Let’s talk about how corrupt this administration is, including you !

No more Republican Fascists. Abolish ICE.
Bondi said what ICE was about when she said ICE would leave Minnesota if they gave voter rolls. Same to Oregon.
This sounds more like stealing an election.

Let’s talk about the fact that being undocumented is a lesser offense than jaywalking and how 70% of the undocumented immigration is done by white people in airports and how you never mention it. Let’s talk about how we dont arrest people for jaywalking. Let’s talk about how there are far worse people being protected by our president in the epstein files. You will never convince me that brown people are the problem.

When is Melania going to be deported? What qualifies her to be a citizen? I don’t think she is doing her job that nobody else wants unless it’s slapping a bruise on his hand to stop him from touching her.

No one is buying your lies and propaganda. You’re just another corrupt & compromised politician.

No. What’s happening is Trump’s SS are dragging people out of homes, schools, churches and sending them God knows where with no due process. They are taking parents from their children. They are murdering people who are exercising their first amendment rights. And the government is telling us not to believe what we can see with our own eyes. You’re a lawyer, didn’t you study Constitutional law?

You’re a pathetic sack of shit.

Move on, Eric. There are other, more important, issues to be working on. What have you done for Missouri lately??

So you are ok with masked goons entering your home without a warrant and disarming you?

You’re nothing but a trump goon

We’re not backing down, either. And we stand on the side that embraces the words of Christ. You stand on a false (and very orange) idol.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Let’s talk about bringing MAGA down instead

You are so superficial, and if you really believe what you preach, a very shallow thinker or someone that fails to research your on talking points. How about talking to your constituents like they are adults?

No, actually I’d like to talk about the rampant grift from this administration. The self dealing, the untraceable crypto wallets just dumping money into Dumpy’s pocket. The clear conflict of interest. The airplane gift that goes to the military that is somehow going to belong to Dumpy after he leaves office. The government taking stakes in companies it loans money to. The idea that if there’s something he wants he can just take it, one way or the other. When are you going to do your duty and perform some frickin oversight on this criminal administration?

So you want masked federal agents raiding our cities, ignoring the constitution, not sharing information with local authorities, and killing people in the streets?

Are you also supporting Trump “nationalizing” elections??? How far into fascism are you willing to follow him!?

I’m a Democrat. I support The Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I don’t support a bunch of masked, unidentified thugs shooting a women 3 times at a blank range in the head to kill her. I don’t support the killing of an ICU nurse working at a VA hospital for protesting while holding a phone. The thugs shot him 10 times. I don’t support kidnapping a 5 year old Minnesota boy by ICE agents and sending him to a prison in Texas. I don’t support ICE agents Tear gassing American citizens. I don’t support masked Ice agents breaking into a home without a legal search warrant.
Murder, Kidnapping, Home invasion by ICE is making the USA less safe and not more safe. It should be illegal for ICE agents to wear masks and drive unmarked police vehicles.
Ice organization is attempting to destroy the Bill of Rights.
Why are Missouri Republicans Senators and Representatives supporting the demolishing The Bill of Rights and the US Constitution?

There was a bi-partison Immigration Bill that Trump stalled before the election because he wanted the issue.
Spin away!

Same recycled talking points from every election year. Gotta cause division and scare people, because that is the only way you get elected. You are a disgrace to Missouri.

“…You’ve done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”

Sunday afternoon over a hundred Missourians gathered in the cold and snow on the Johnson County Courthouse lawn in downtown Warrensburg, Missouri. It was another one of many community organized demonstrations against the excesses of Donald Trump (r), his administration, and his paramilitary.

“Worst of the worst…”

“Trans Rights = Human Rights”

“No to Trump’s Fascist, murdering regime”

“ICE is Trump’s Gestapo!”

“…Defund ICE”

“….just stupid and reckless”

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice everywhere”

“Love and kindness are never wasted”

“…Our Constitution…”

Families Belong Together”

“Chances of ICE breaking the law?”

Be Good, Be Pretti”

“No ICE”

“Abolish ICE”

On Tuesday:

Denny Hoskins
January 27 at 10:18 PM

Thank you to some of my supporters for sharing this meme with me! 😂

I locked a cemetery gate and the Democrats accused me of election interference
[….]

Some of the responses:

Wow. Mocking people you are supposed to represent. That is the GOP way I suppose.
It is all too apparent how Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins feels about his constituents. Do you serve the only the people who voted for you, or all Missourians Denny Hoskins?

Oof. Serving the people of Missouri with integrity? Swing and a miss.
[….]

When you can’t win in the marketplace of ideas, make stuff up and lie like a bitch.

Boy maga seems to be flailing out lately….lol

Snarky little toad

Laughing at you, not with you, btw.

You are a meme

Why would you lock a cemetery gate?

What a weird joke. Like, who locks a cemetery gate. Is he locking in living people visiting the graves of loved ones? Is that the joke?

You know sir, if there are issues with elections in Missouri, it might be the Republicans fault. They’ve held majorities and super majorities for years. Now go count the signatures sir.

I locked the cemetery gate and suddenly nobody had access to Denny Hoskins’ career.

You got middle school kids doing your social media now?

Apparently.

There’s still time to delete this

Too late.

You once flushed the toilet and were accused of giving yourself a lobotomy.

Well, that was rude.

What a Dufus.

So you are saying the GOP does a crappy job running the state and our elections?

You need a better writer

A little concerned that the Secretary of State, the one in charge of elections, would post this. Are you suggesting that out elections are not secure? An insult to the hard working election judges who volunteer their time and effort to make sure our elections are safe and secure.

Your ignorance of how elections actually work is staggering, Denny…

That’s a pretty stupid thing think much less say. How about growing up some?

Does spouting a stupid meme make you feel superior in some way, because it sure destroys your dignity.

You are unfit for your position. You are a scummy liar! What a despicable asshole!

Are you attempting to be an idiot?
Or does it just come naturally?

What a douchebag

You’re an idiot. 🙄

Hoskins, if you’re trying to be clever you failed. Failing is nothing new for you.

You are a PUBLIC SERVANT once you take office. Why insult half your constituents, degrade yourself and your office by this embarrassing partisanship?

Wow! The lack of respect you have for MO voters and actual election integrity is not shocking but disappointing.

You know you are a failure when all you do is point fingers and make fun of others to distract from your inablilty to do anything.

“I locked the cemetery gate and Democrats were mad they couldn’t mourn all the American citizens the Trump administration has murdered in the streets.” Denny Hoskins

Making your whole identity be about making people you disagree with angry is another choice you’re making.
Go make your identity about being a husband or a dad or, if those things don’t bring you joy, make your identity kindness. Surely kindness is a good identity.

This is gross and immature.

Grow up.
