This is [….]. He didn’t wear a mask to school, and in response, [….] Superintendent Clint Freeman [….] called the cops on him for trespassing, and he was promptly hauled away in the back of a police car.
[….] 8:57 PM · Jan 30, 2022
On a Sunday?
A kid? Is the student over the age of 18? Did the student refuse to leave?
The consequences of not wearing a mask are clear.
From the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) COVID-19 Dashboard:
Note the number of cases in the last 14 days, compared to the total since March 2020. Do the math.
Note the test positivity rate.
The current Dunklin R-5 School District masking policy:
Testing for COVID-19 is one of the components helping us to get out of this pandemic. The Biden Administration announced a plan to distribute free tests to households, if they so desired, starting in January. Households could sign up online, including via the U.S. Postal Service. We did so. The free tests we ordered arrived in today’s mail.

62 school districts in Missouri are closed, leaving thousands of parents without the choice for what is best for their child. That is unacceptable. Keep schools open and the right to decide what is best for the family for the parents. 10:31 AM · Jan 29, 2022
The stupid, it burns.
“…That is unacceptable…”
If you buy his crap you’re as stupid as he is.
Some of the responses:
And keep local control so school boards and local leaders can decide what’s best for THEIR communities without fear of being sued by the state and wasting taxpayers’ money! Deal?
Not gonna happen.
Perhaps protocols that would prevent sickness that forces teachers and students to stay home from school would be sensible. Can you think of any?
Uh, like wearing masks, promoting vaccines, contact tracing, quarantine?
There is not enough staff to keep them open. Kids are sick. This has nothing to do with parents rights. So tired of the gaslighting. The virus did not go away just because Parsons said he was done with it.
Why are the schools closed, Jay?
Why are 62 school districts closed?
Take a wild guess.
My goodness, you might mention they’re closed because teachers and staff are ill. This has nothing to do with ‘parents not having the choice’, it has to do with a pandemic. This is the most idiotic tweet I’ve seen in months and you’ve had a lot of competition.
Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Lockdowns cause harm. Schools should remain open. Cloth masks are ineffective. Many hospitalizations/deaths are with and not from Covid. Vaccines aren’t preventing transmission. All labeled misinformation at one point —all true. #NoMaskMandates #NoLockdowns 7:57 AM · Jan 28, 2022
Make arguments like that in court. I dare you. Dumbass.
There is much hilarity in the responses:
“The researchers found that a cloth face covering reduced emissions in all directions to about two feet compared to the four feet of emissions produced when coughing or speaking with no mask on.”
[….]
So wrong. Lockdowns are overwhelmingly not harmful and effective. Cloth masks work well if all people wear them. You clearly don’t know how vaccines function. You want to get people sick and put them in a position to have to risk death all so you forward your campaign narrative.
Let’s get N95s on everyone. Now.
What is it about having gone to a small teachers college in NEMO and a small Catholic law school that makes you think you know more than 99% of the world’s scientific community- epidemiologists, physicians, and virologists? Leadership means listening.
Want to know what causes harm to children? Having to practice active shooter drills and having to explain to my child why those exist. It’s a sad world when people worry about a thin piece of cloth to prevent spread, but not a gun brought into a school intended to cause harm.
Furthermore, you’re wasting our tax dollars on frivolous lawsuits for your own campaign run. It’s disgusting. BTW, you keep tweeting about lockdowns at school, yet our district hasn’t had one since the beginning of the pandemic.
Please link your sources as you are badly misinformed. Will you hold yourself accountable? Masks work if used properly. Please read the report MO shelved as it didn’t work with your agenda.
On behalf of this citizen of Missouri would you please sue yourself for wasting so much of our money.
Read the details, not just listen to the soundbites. Cloth masks are ineffective as compared with what. No masks? Not true. They’re less effective than surg. & K95s, so folks should choose not to mask at all? That doesn’t make any sense. #EverybodyPitchIn
[….]
Would you like to know what ACTUALLY caused harm to my students this week? An intruder drill. Safe defend sirens went off, students hid, I had to check the defence material. And I had to go over all the “what if” scenarios with 10 year olds. Are you cracking down on guns, too?
Any evidence from respectable sources that accurately show your current opinions?
Curious what you think about at night in the silence of your own thoughts. Do you have any remorse about this power play you are using to get elected? Do you think about how history will look back upon you and your actions and wasting of money?
Your kids are masking at their fancy private schools and you’re not objecting to it. It’s only when *my* kids mask up that you object.
Why not start with sacrificing your own children to your political aspirations instead of everyone else’s?
You are babbling. Get to work.
Do you just figure everyone hates having their kids home as much as you do? I love my kids and I’m loving the fact that they’re here learning, thriving, and safe. Keep up with your nonsense lawsuits. I’ll keep my kids out of physical school as long as you keep them unsafe.
Haven’t locked down since TFG was in office #DipSchmitt
Yes, death is an equal opportunist, it comes for us all eventually. We don’t need to give him an excuse to come sooner.
Vaccines reduce the spread & the data is there. You just disagree w/ facts that don’t fit your narrative; while the facts are just that “FACT” they don’t care about your opinions.
Yes, cloth masks are less effective than surgical masks & those less than N95, it’s a scale!
Since you left your state to yell about a border that isn’t in MO, you are clueless about why schools are closing. It’s because staff are sick and there are no subs. You haven’t stepped foot into a school or hospital to see or talk to anyone working in your dystopia.
His kids are masked up in private school where he doesn’t object at all.
He’s not only lying about his objections, he has no skin in the game either way because his kids aren’t subject to the rules he’s forcing.
So if you don’t believe in the vaccines, why are you and your family vaccinated?
If you are so against masks, why do you not sue your kids’ private school to remove their mandates?
Either you’re a hypocrite or a coward or both. Just more #bullschmitt, #GetVaccinatedNow
Schools aren’t closing due to lockdowns. They’re closing because too many sick kids & staff. Meanwhile, you’re cruising the Rio Grande with a bunch of wack-a-doodles who threatened a butterfly sanctuary, so I have zero patience for your disinformation, opinions, or lawsuits.
You know what else is harmful to children? Attorney Generals that are full blown lunatics that sue every school district in the state to push his political agenda.
You are a crappy attorney general.
Great job, fool. Every death of a child is on you.

There’s no difference from dying of Covid and dying from Covid. The vaccines work and masks work and you’re an idiot

Rural hospitals are struggling due to the authoritarian vaccine mandate on our frontline heroes.
Nearly 1 in 5 healthcare workers have already quit their jobs during the pandemic. We can’t risk losing more due to these harmful mandates.

Some of the responses:
So says the largest welfare queen in the history of Missouri.
Remember when you voted against sending more relief to hospitals?
[….]
Her voting record further demonstrates her lack of empathy and horrible a value for the constituents she serves.
[….]
One of the largest healthcare providers in Missouri (BJC) had 300 out of 31,000 employees refuse the vaccine.
The vaccine is 90% effective for preventing hospitalization.
Your district lost 7 rural hospitals under your watch?? Seven? [….]
Local arsonist is also the firefighter.
Imagine the mental gymnastics it takes to say that vaccine mandates are hurting our hospitals, not that 96% of patients admitted with COVID-19 at Cox in Springfield, MO are unvaccinated. I am sure no different in Boone County. Absolutely unreal, Vicky.
Rural hospitals are hurt more by the lack of Medicaid expansion.
Thanks to YOU!!!
Hey, still waiting for your ACA replacement plan you promised back in 2010.
Eleven years and change if anyone is counting.
Do you understand how any of this works?
No. This has been another edition of short answers to simple questions.
Lol, rural hospitals aren’t struggling from the mandate nearly as much as they are burnout, and a lack of resources. Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion money relieves that financial and resource strain, remind us of how you feel about the Medicaid Expandion and obamacare again?
This healthcare hero thinks vaccine mandates are a great idea for anyone who works in direct patient care and the actual risk is from people like you who work to hamstring the medical safety net and public health response at every turn.
Maybe you should tell the vaccine deniers to do the right thing, then. Get vaccinated.
Our Frontline heros are burned out due to risking their lives trying to save lives of those who refuse to Vax and mask. Shame on you @RepHartzler!
Rural hospitals in Missouri are indeed struggling. 95% of deaths are among the unvaccinated. The best way to help is vaccinate and mask. You could also help by supporting them with additional funding.
How many times did you vote against helping them and how much PPP did you pocket?
Goddamn, you turn my stomach
Rural hospitals are struggling in Missouri because your party refused to expand medicaid and is still trying to find ways to block funding.
Are you stupid or purposely lying to your supporters?
Yes.
You need to take a hard look in the mirror and then sit down about rural hospitals in Missouri. You are a HUGE part of the problem they are struggling.
You took $480,000 in PPP money to line your pockets. Give it to these rural hospitals that you ‘care’ do much about.
There is a Trumper friend of mine in MERCY Hospital here in St. Louis. He listened to FOX NEWS and the MO AG. He is about to die because his POS wife insisted he not get vaxxed.
Please come to his funeral & explain why their dad is expendable for political gain. You can burn…
Your source is Rand Paul? He’s a charlatan who couldn’t hack it in the real Medical Profession. Take a seat.
This wins for most ignorant tweet of the day…no competition….nearly 4,000 Americans died yesterday from Covid.
This is your legacy…too many needless Covid deaths.
I’m a surgeon working in a rural hospital in Missouri.
This is an absolute lie. We are struggling because we cannot keep up with onslaught of COVID cases – mostly from unvaccinated people – many of whom chose to believe the disinformation put out by you your ilk.
You’re a liar.
Another prime example of the bald-face lies told by our Missouri representatives and officials. She knows she voted against every initiative to assist rural hospitals, and with her fellow Republicans was successful in slashing funding. But yet she blames vaccine mandates.
Excuse me lady. You voted against every measure to assist rural hospitals. Every single one. Rand Paul is not a real doctor. Rural hospitals are struggling because republicans have under funded them for years. #GOPHypocrisy
Think maybe it has more to do with you voting against aid for those hospitals? As for why they’re quitting…that might have something to do with the constant flow of unvaccinated idiots going to the hospital? Try being less of a hack and more of a helper.
They’re struggling because people are getting admitted to hospitals with an illness a couple of shots would prevent. They struggle because of your actions and inactions. You are a disgrace
You realize you voted against support for those hospitals. You are a hypocrite and should be ashamed of yourself.

Moment of truth for Joe Biden. Will this deeply unpopular & divisive president finally reject the radical elements of his party and nominate someone who loves America and believes in the Constitution? Or will he continue to tear apart this country w/ a woke activist?
[….] 12:05 PM · Jan 26, 2022
So, the opposite of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett then?
There is much hilarity in the responses:
Bro. You legit voted to put jurists on courts—with a lifetime appointment—who failed to receive a “well-qualified” rating from the ABA.
You chose your path. You will never be SCOTUS or POTUS.
Instead, you will always be the arrogant boy from Lexington who committed treason.
What’s that you say about believing in the Constitution?
[….]
Lol, “deeply unpopular”…
Still polls higher than Trump.
How is this not a parody account?
He’s going to nominate a Black woman, so we all know you’re going to viciously smear the hell out of her no matter what.
Go fuck yourself
He has promised to nominate America’s first black female justice of the SCOTUS. Any problem with that, Josh?
Is “Woke Activist” the new term for Woman of Color? Black? Or is it anyone not part of your little clique at The Federalist Society looking to take the Constitution back to its “origins” which, if I remember correctly, gave rights only to property-owning /tax-paying white men.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say it doesn’t matter who he nominates, you will still vote against the nominee, even it was Jesus himself.
Do you know the definition of woke? Do you know where it came from in the context you are trying to use it? If so, you’re using it incorrectly. Biden will appoint someone who will uphold constitutional rights for EVERYONE, not just the white ‘masculine’ (sic) men.
Remember Jan 6 2021? Guess not
Say it more clearly. You think a black woman justice–as our President has publicly stated he’s considering–could not, by definition, love America? or uphold the Constitution?
Why would you think that?
Insurrectionist says what about loving America?
[….]
Radical element projects what?
[….]
He should start by explaining why he ran in a state he doesn’t live in
Speaking of rejecting radical elements, this you on Jan 6th?
[….]
27 days
[….]
I bet one trillion dollars the person he nominates will not have incited an insurrection on our Capitol, what say you Josh
But the constitution…
[….]
Man, it’s painfully obvious that you’ve gone all in on this GQP shit and you just tweet word salad. You’re too far gone, bud.
Merrick Garland enters the chat, you remember him right?
I vote for a “woke activist.”
I live in Missouri…you don’t…take a seat!
LOL you said “truth”
Well he ain’t pickin’ you brah.
[….]
“Deeply unpopular and divisive” – got a mirror?
Those who believe in the Constitution did not condone or encourage the invasion of Congress on January 6th.
So how should we treat people who were involved in a insurrection? Asking for a friend.
The amount of gaslighting and projection in this post is so telling…[….]
Bless your heart.

Aw…it’s cute when your Gen Z social media staffer tweets things out they lack both the education + experience to understand.
But the racism. Well. That’s probably all you look for when hiring. That and a willingness to commit treason.
{citation needed} oh but that’s right, you’re just jealous.
Bless your heart
This probably played better at the Capitol Hill Club.
But who cares what you think [….]
Oh look – the third place Republican senatorial candidate from Missouri who has fractured multiple bones trying to genuflect harder than a disgraced ex-governor to the King of Mar-A-Lago has asked a staffer to tweet something modestly racist to grab his attention.
Terribly put by a painfully terrible politician pretending to be a Member of Congress and doing a terrible job of even the pretending.
Vice President Kamala Harris (D) is living rent free inside Vicky Hartzler’s (r) head.
