This morning, via Twitter:

Tony Messenger @tonymess
Is there anything more peak 2019 politics than @HawleyMO going on anti-Nike and anti-Big Tech rants and then posting a picture of his kid on @Twitter wearing @Nike shoes?
11:38 AM – 5 Jul 2019

Some of the responses:

Not until next week, when he goes all in on Steak-n-Shake for some offense with a mouth full of skinny fries and a (vanilla) milkshake mustache.

@HawleyMO is a fool, and a tool of dark money.

@HawleyMO is still here? He’s been on the job for 6 months. Isn’t it time for him to start looking for a new job?

Something, something, ladder.

Yep, and the tough-talking Arizona governor was photographed wearing Nikes yesterday. Their favorite shoe is Nike Hypocrisy.

It is because is fake outrage. Just something to give the base something to be mad about. Without outrage the base doesn’t pay attention.

Our Junior Senator has nothing to say.

He is the epitome of hypocrisy.

Typical Hawley!

Now this is funny.

This afternoon’s pearl clutching from Josh Hawley(r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Nike should apologize to Americans for denigrating the flag. They should apologize to Missourians who lost loved ones defending the flag. And they should restart production of the Betsy Ross shoe at their facility in St Charles, MO
12:42 PM – 2 Jul 2019

What a self righteous schmuck.

Some of the responses:

Start with your potus first.

#FakeOutrage

Literally zero Missourians died to defend the Betsy Ross 13-star flag. True historical fact.

Wish you would care more about the kids that are being treated cruelly at the border than what flag Nike decides to put on its products.

One question, how many Missourians died defending the Betsy Ross flag?

You should tell us who the dark money donors were who bought you that Senate seat

Heh.

Zero Missourians died defending a flag with thirteen stars, as it was the 24th state.

Which Missourians died defending that flag?

Which one of those 13 stars represents Missouri?

Lotta Missourians died defending that flag did they?

Should your focus really be on shoes? Your concerned about shoe design, but cool with kids in cages? Asking for a friend… and myself…and a bunch of other people. Ashamed to have you representing the state I love.

I remember in April when GOP m members of Congress reached out to big pharma companies and told them not to cooperate with a Democratic investigation on price gouging.

Odd, the things they publicly ‘clutch their pearls’ about.

Are you going to go after the huge displays of American Flag adorned clothing at Target, Kohls, Walmart etc that violate US Flag Code too? Or just the Nikes?

Fun fact: Missourians never defended a 13 star flag.

Which Missourians died defending the 13-star flag?

“I pledge allegiance to these sneakers…”

it’s a shoe, bro

Poor Miserians. Died for a flag that wasn’t even theirs.

You think Donald Trump (r) offered to let Josh play with one of the tanks on Thursday?

Today, from Senator Josh Hawley (r) via Twitter:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
As we prepare to celebrate our nation’s birthday, it’s time we focused on the workers and families who built our country. The elite have had their day. The great American middle deserves theirs

From Missouri’s junior right wingnut sycophant in the U.S. Senate:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
.@realDonaldTrump slapped new sanctions on Iran today. Showing toughness and strategic judgment, which is more than you can say for his DC critics. Keep up the pressure but on our terms. POTUS also right that other countries need to step up & help protect the Strait
12:02 PM – 24 Jun 2019

Somebody wins the Internets today. One of the responses:

American Carnage @Cynfulfan
Replying to @HawleyMO @realDonaldTrump
Is it Strait or Straight? You can’t both be right.
1:38 PM – 24 Jun 2019

Alrighty then.

It’ll be an easy vote for the Trump sycophant

From Josh Hawley (r), yesterday evening, via Twitter:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
One year since the U.S. withdrew from the terrible Iran nuclear deal and Iran is already threatening to stockpile & resume uranium enrichment unless we prop up their failing economy. Our partners and allies should not give in to nuclear blackmail
[….]
6:35 PM – 8 May 2019

WTF? Uh, Donald Trump (r) withdrew the United States from the deal.

Some of the responses:

Yes, Josh. When one side fails honor their end of a deal, the other side tends to not keep their end up either. One year of Trump’s policy and what do we have? Iran back to enriching uranium. Americans still in jail or missing. More chaos in the region.

Call me a skeptic but I doubt any man who negotiated his way to losing $1 billion over a decade is going to how the hell to negotiate a complex nuclear deal.

So maybe the “terrible deal” was actually a pretty good deal?

What partners?

Ironic or sarcastic? Your guess is as good as mine.

Don’t you have some kid’s video game to ruin?

That’s definitely sarcastic.

The 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council+Germany+Iran were signatories.The only country to break the treaty & exit the deal is the US.
Deal was verifiable.
The US is pushing Iran into a corner.
Mortifying but true: our country is the one destabilizing this situation.

We abandoned the deal unilaterally, and somehow the Iranians are supposed to be the bad guys for adhering to the deal we abandoned for an additional year?

Does anyone in your office have _any_ respect for your constituents? Your contempt for us and reality is pathetic.

This is perhaps the most dumb tweet you’ve made. And that is an impressive accomplishment.

I’m sad that I have to wait so long to vote against you.

Josh, I’m no foreign policy expert, but it might have something to do with the #BillionDollarLoser withdrawing from the deal for no good reason and against advice from both his Sec. of Defense and National Security Adviser. Also, you are an embarrassment to Missouri.

Well, compared to Donald Trump (r) you certainly are a foreign policy expert.

Hey genius, they weren’t threatening to stockpile & resume uranium enrichment when the “terrible” deal was in force. You sure you went to an elite law school? [….]

One of those fancy ones.

What did we expect to happen? I don’t get “already.” We walked out on the agreement. This had to have been expected, no?

Expect Kim Jong-un to be thinking that it would be stupid to make any deal with Trump.

Your complicity to this failed white house is putting our country in danger.

Thanks to orange Nixon’s tax cut the deficit is higher than ever, you and your cronies are trying to get rid of what little healthcare we have, and now you’re advocating for another war?
Utter bullshit.
Sign up for your own damn war and take the 1% with you.

Whatever trump says the puppet repeats. You are a dangerous sycophant.

We noticed that, too.

What would you expect them to do-we pulled out of the deal. Spare us your fake outrage. It’s similar to how you ran your Senate race running commercials about health care-straight up lying -you were part of the lawsuit. We’re on to you #Gaslighting

You realize you’re owning yourself in this tweet, right?

No. But he did attend one of those fancy law schools.

What allies? We ditched them all when we unilaterally backed out of the agreement.

Senator, I’m not really hearing a solution here. What’s the GOP’s plan here? So far Trump broke America’s word, removing all incentive to slow down Iran’s enrichment program, all while making incendiary comments increasing tensions. What are you doing as my senator to solve this?

Nothing.

Dumbest fucking thing I’ve read today. Good job.

I can’t believe you’re actually whining about Iran not holding up their end of a deal your boss walked away from. You are an empty shirt, and a syncophant of the highest order. A soulless automaton that cannot think for itself.

You and your idiot ignorant party will drag us into a huge war. The republican party has zero clue with regards to common sense, let alone geo-political affairs.

You effing morons.

Well?

This:

Pamela Merritt @SharkFu
The only questions anyone should have for Josh @HawleyMO should be about his plan to maintain healthcare access if his lawsuit guts ACA. He placed healthcare in peril for thousands of Missourians. Where’s the policy? What’s the plan? Hello? How do you sleep at night?
7:40 PM – 2 May 2019

“…How do you sleep at night?”

Probably doesn’t. Working out? Shopping for wine? Oh, wait, that’s during the day…

What a hack. He’s all in, but, then, we already knew that.

“Make America Great Again”

Via Twitter from Josh Hawley (r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
You want to know why the FBI spied on @realDonaldTrump⁩ & launched multi-year investigations? It’s about ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ VOTERS. Unelected progressive elites in our govt have nothing but contempt for them. Total, complete contempt
[….]
1:34 PM – 1 May 2019

He hasn’t figured out yet that he has over six million constituents. What a hack.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Useful idiot.

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

“Executive time” his morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
“The Democrats can’t come to grips with the fact that there was No Collusion, there was No Conspiracy, there was No Obstruction. What we should be focused on is what’s been going on in our government, at the highest levels of the FBI….” Senator Josh Hawley

Michael Bersin @MBersin
On the somewhat brighter side when it comes to Congressional oversight – at least Missouri is represented by a U.S. Senator who has first hand experience with an Attorney General who obstructs and lies. Oh, wait…
6:16 AM – 1 May 2019

“…Now I know he went to Yale, I think, or Harvard, one of those, one of those fancy ones…” – Claire McCaskill (D), on Josh Hawley (r) – August 17, 2017

On Friday:

My statement on Yale Law School’s policy of discrimination against religious students and faith-based groups
[….]
5:27 PM – 5 Apr 2019

Wait, what? Yale University Law School? In New Haven, Connecticut? One of those fancy ones? Not located in Missouri?

Three of the comments explain a little more:

The Yale policy applies to those who work for organizations that do not support the full range of civil rights, like the right to marry the human adult you want to. So, try facts before you tweet. @YaleLawSch

I’m sure #horseface Hawley knows the facts, but probably just didn’t have enough space on The Twitter to fully explain that he thinks it’s perfectly fine to discriminate based on his religious beliefs.

And yet we allow faith based organizations to discriminate at will because “it’s their right”

Ah, it’s really about the right wingnut republican cult of victimization and just so much pearl clutching.

Missouri. Connecticut. Different states.

Donald Trump (r) finally goes one step too far for Roy Blunt (r).

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

Josh Hawley (r), constitutional scholar and strict constructionist hopeless sycophant and puppet, is more than good with Donald Trump’s (r) historically expansive view of presidential power.
