Yesterday:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Thank you to @kcpolice for their quick and courageous action this afternoon at the Chiefs parade. The criminals who did this must be brought swiftly to justice
4:07 PM · Feb 14, 2024

Interestingly, no “thoughts and prayers”.

Some of the responses on another social media platform:

The NRA paid Josh Hawley $1,391,548.00 to do NOTHING about gun violence.
[….]

So how are those lax gun laws working for your constituents Josh? You just keep running. Deplorable!

Then make a stand on the senate floor and demand gun control starts now get tough Don’t leave the floor until it gets done

That’s not on Josh Hawley’s (r) agenda. He doesn’t care for $1,391,548.00 reasons.

Yet, hawley won’t do a thing about it. The police can only react once it happens, Congress can prevent it from happening. And, btw, what a pathetic statement he put out.

You don’t care… resign you complicit pandering lying hack

How about you actually do something about gun violence? We condemn you for doing jack squat about it over and over.

And what will Josh Hawley do about gun violence?………Crickets….That’s Josh Hawley the NRA owned Senator ….

Then do something about the guns!

Your fault.

Well that will surely deter the next mass shooter.

This is the America that Trump and Republicans that work for him want: total chaos, hate and violence while Biden is POTUS. They want Dictator Trump so they can run this country like a mob boss with their organized crime gang. They do not care who they sacrifice to achieve their goal, and next time it may be someone that you love or care about that is murdered in a mass shooting.

“Hawley condemns shooting that he helped enable by opposing sensible gun laws.”
There, fixed it. Now wash the blood off your hands and do something about the country’s gun problem.

Thanks for taking a moment to condemn. Now what exactly does that do to fix what happened?

Nothing.

Just like the stench of Trump sewer you will never get the blood off your hands Josh.

That’s a lazy statement. Don’t spend too much time on this Josh, you need all your time to complain about TicTok

So much for having 800 good guys with guns around. It’s the GUNS, It’s the GUNS, It’s the GUNS, GUNS, GUNS.

It is literally the LEAST he can do. “strongly condemning” does NOTHING.

Thanks to Senator Josh Hawley, no permit is needed to buy a gun in Missouri or a permit to carry a gun.
Josh made $1.4 million from NRA in helping them push for no gun laws making Missouri a dangerous place to live.
This is #47 for mass shootings just this year thanks to Politicians like Josh .
That’s probably why him & his family don’t live in Missouri..

Just another day in America. How much did the gun industry give you to look the other way? The blood’s on your hands senator.

Hawley’s equivalent of “thoughts and prayers”. Trump tells people to just “get over it”. That’s the extent of MAGA concern about gun violence.

Gun violence is a policy choice. You put the gun in their hands.

Tots and pears.

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

Heh.

Today:

Senator Josh Hawley
[December 18, 2023]
Hunter’s alleged influence-peddling campaign seems to be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Biden family crime syndicate.
Americans deserve to know the full story.
[….]

As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:

Wish there was a thumbs DOWN option for this post. Crime family? What a crock of….

A crime family syndicate from Hawley and Ingraham……two people who would not know the truth if it slap them upside their backside. Trump taught them both how to lie.

Fox News Josh the GOP party – give Trump a pass – took ladies rights away, to send a mob to the use Capitol US officers beaten, Trump took top secrets papers home and shared them. Trump ask Putin to find dirt on Biden. The GOP party don’t give D-M about this. Josh needs to be kick out congress. For letting this happen.

Old fist pump is nothing more but a frightened sad little buffoon Desperately Seeking attention where was his outrage when Ivanka and Jared Kushner we’re making a billion dollar deal with the Saudis

Yes, we do. We still have little or no conclusive evidence, even from the investigation done recently, but that does not matter, it seems. Logic would tell us that the most likely cause for impeachment is that your party wants revenge for impeaching trump twice. You certainly have accused the President over and over, but not brought forth any evidence yourself. So what is your excuse for trying to undermine our government, our voting system and our system of justice?

It’s how they do things in Virginia.

More like the whole of the ice cube. After a year of investigation, Comer and his clowns have nothing on Joe Biden. Meanwhile the RAPIST that Hawley supports is under 4 indictments and 91 felony charges.

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

The projection of Trump is astounding and everyone knows that sociopaths like him and hawley will stop at nothing to kill our country for the benefit of a few .

WHERE IS THE PROOF?? Been looking for 6 years into Hunter and 3 years into Joe. I REPEAT…. WHERE IS THE PROOF?? Dumb A$$ES!!

Grassley admits he has no evidence. House repugs have been investigating for years, and they’ve got nothing. Y’all just look desperate.

Still goin on about this? You’ve been wrong about everything so far…

After 5 years? You got nothing, spineless wimp

Josh is a full blown LIAR

Today from Josh Hawley (r):

[image cropped]

Senator Josh Hawley
[November 11, 2023]
Happy #VeteransDay to the brave men and women who dedicated their lives to the service of this great nation.
Thank you for your sacrifice in defending America and preserving our freedom
[….]

Some of the responses:

If you cared about Veterans & Active Duty MILITARY you’d stop Tuberville’s hold!
I’m from Missouri! Don’t just post platitudes, DO SOMETHING!
SHOW ME!

Remember to honor Running Man Day on January 6th.

We see what you did there.

Empty words, you voted against burn pit legislation. Nice try.

Too bad republicans continue to vote against vets at every opportunity.

RUN JOSH RUN
I defended this country!
YOU RAN AWAY!

Josh voted against each and every bill brought to the floor that would have helped our service members and veterans. VOTE HIM OUT. Run Josh run only helps himself He just now bought a home in Missouri—so vote him out. Let him go back to Virginia

Runaway traitor Josh Hawley pretending to support veterans! Hypocrisy at its finest

You go against the constitution every chance you get. You could care less about veterans.

Fist pump them like you did the insurrectionists
[….]

Resign you complicit pandering lying hack

Or as your hero calls them, suckers and losers.

An exchange of comments on Josh Hawley’s (r) page:

Your arrogance is laughable, especially in light of running away from trouble on 1/6. Run, Josh, run!!

And then, four sentences:

[….]they were all told to leave quickly. He waited until the others were well on their way then ran to catch up. Just because something is videotaped doesn’t mean it tells the whole story. Missouri loves Josh Hawley!

Say that really fast without taking a breath.

It’s a cult. We’re all doomed.

Today, in Washington, D.C.

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

Typical:

Josh Hawley (r): …I think that your performance is despicable and I think the fact that you are not willing to provide answers to this committee is absolutely atrocious.

Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: Mr. Chairman, may I?

Senator Gary Peters (D): Like if you’d like to have a, a minute to respond you were…

Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: I would and I’m not sure I’ll
limit it to sixty seconds.

Senator Gary Peters (D): That’s fine.

Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: Number one, uh, what I found despicable is the implication, uh, that, uh, this language,
tremendously odious, um, actually could be emblematic of the sentiments of the two-hundred-sixty-thousand men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, number one.

Number two, uh, Senator Hawley takes a adversarial approach to me in this question and perhaps he doesn’t know my own background. Perhaps he does not know that I am the child of a Holocaust survivor, perhaps he does not know that my mother lost almost all her family at the hands of the Nazis. And so I find his adversarial tone to be entirely misplaced, I find it to be disrespectful of me and my heritage, and I do not expect an apology, but I did want to say what I just articulated. Thank you.

Josh Hawley (r): Mr. Chairman can, can I just respond since he
has referenced me personally?

Senator Gary Peters (D): Senator Hawley, we need to move on….

Senator Hawley: China is our number 1 foreign policy threat
[….]

As if nothing else is going on in the world?

Some of the responses:

Is that why you are voting to help Vladimir Putin (our actual enemy)?

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Possibly, but so is Vladimar Putin’s Russia, terrorism, and world wide inflation. You need to get to work and solve those problems. Whining is seldom productive, and fear-mongering actually gets in the way of doing anything.

Why are you silent about trump’s lawyers’ guilty pleasure, Senator Josh Hawley ?

How did this lil kid ever get elected … vote Josh out, he’s earned it

Remember the traitors who tried to overthrow our free and fair elections? Yeah, we do too.

At least you can run and hide when danger comes.

now you want a war with China! The typical GQP gaslighting antics by Joshy and Eric!
