Josh Hawley@HawleyMO
Very presidential
[….]
4:47 PM · Jan 24, 2022

Much hilarity transpires:

Didn’t you vote for the “grab them by the pussy” guy or did I get that wrong?

It’s not like he made a clenched fist/solidarity sign to Capitol rioters.
[….]

He’s not wrong. And your guy did this daily for four years.

Can you please direct me to your tweets criticizing Trump for the language he used in office or how he treated reporters?

I don’t remember you having a problem when Trump described the press as being the enemy of the people and called rivals scum.

Josh misses the president that bragged about sexual assault and planned a violent coup

Havent seen you round these parts much lately. How is Virginia?

Give me a break. Remember the former guy and the things he said? Don’t be so hypocritical.

Dear Mr. Hawley. You should be very familiar with the phrase you are referring to. I’m sure you have heard it many many times. I often describe you with the exact same phrase. When using the phrase to describe anyone from @FoxNews, it is totally appropriate.

I mean…. He isn’t wrong. He could say the same of you.

It’s a lot more presidential than inciting an insurrection.[….]

I think he should call another press conference just to repeat himself!

He was absolutely correct in that assessment, after all.

I’m surprised you’ve still got pearls left to clutch, figured they’d all have disintegrated from overuse

Heh.

Don’t worry Joshy you’ll never have to worry about being Presidential

Heh.

Honesty is the best policy. Try it sometime.

Clutch those pearls, Josh. [….]

Sometimes you just have to state the obvious.

And yet again this isn’t going the way you thought it would.

Otto: Don’t call me stupid.

Wanda: Oh, right! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I’ve known sheep that could outwit you. I’ve worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you’re an intellectual, don’t you, ape?

Otto: Apes don’t read philosophy.

Wanda: Yes they do, Otto. They just don’t understand it. Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not “Every man for himself.” And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up.

Today:

Attorney General Eric Schmitt @AGEricSchmitt
An analysis done by the AGO using DHSS COVID-19 data in Missouri’s school districts from December 29, 2021 to January 11, 2022 shows that mask mandates are ineffective in schools, and that non-masked districts fared the same or better than masked districts.

Today.

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
“Even in the inevitable moments when all seems hopeless, men know that without hope they cannot really live, and in agonizing desperation they cry for the bread of hope.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
12:13 PM · Jan 17, 2022

There is much hilarity in the responses:

I certainly hope you will defeated in 2024.

You represent everything MLK fought against. Shame on you

After today, you won’t be seeing Hawley support the message of MLK until next year on this date.

Josh googles ‘famous quotes by Martin Luther King’

Love the quote but you quoting it is hypocrisy

Pass the voting rights bill

Vote yes then to voters rights! Otherwise this is JustBlowing in the Wind

They said scary people would be “” MLK today… damn they were right [….]

Is this a joke?? It has to be a joke, right?

“The world was made for those not cursed with self awareness.”
Annie Savoy

Don’t quote him unless you are voting for the Freedom to Vote Act.

How did you tweet this with a straight face? Do you think we don’t know you?

And what are YOU doing for voting rights, Senator?

#YouShamelessIdiot

Hypocritical much

MLK is Hawley’s hero. LOL NOT

You gotta be fkg kidding me.

You don’t deserve to invoke his name.

Keep his words as out of your mouth as they are out of your heart.

How dare you quote this man, when your actions are the exact opposite of everything he believed in and fought for?

WTF are YOU quoting MLK for????

Sit down. MLK would have never supported the insurrection party.

Nothing worse than someone like you quoting someone like MLK.

Look at this virtue signaling.

If you respected MLK at all, your voting record and rhetoric would have been vastly different.

Pretty odd you of all people are quoting MLK.

Noticed that you did not say anything in your own words.

Why is that?

Just words that don’t mean anything to you.

This is hilarious because if MLK was around today Josh would call him a communist and do everything he can to denounce everything he says or does.

Quoting MLK while stomping on his life’s work.

The gall.

You are seriously quoting Martin Luther King, Jr. after attempting to invalidate the votes of people of color? YOU —?

MLK called for leaders of “sound integrity.”

That leaves you out, @HawleyMO

Lordy, I forgot it’s “racist white people quoting MLK day”…[….]

Quoting MLK and then burning Toni Morrison books.[….]

Yeah ummm… I don’t think you get to quote MLK jr. You would 100% oppose his views if he was alive today. You would be going to Tucker Carlson to slam him so just shush [….]

Do not say his name, while you destroy all he achieved, for your own political gain

It’s to bad that you are one of the people are promoting the REMOVAL OF Martin Luther King’s life and legacy from history class

you want you quoting Dr. King placed under that pic of the repub carrying the confed flag thru the hallways of the attacked Capitol?

or over the one where repubs beat a cop unconscious?

If only you understood and, more important, lived this quote in all its meaning and context. If only you believed in these words. Instead, using his words as you do reeks of political opportunism, just like fist-pumping at an insurrection.

And on and on…

Clueless in Virginia.

Vicky Hartzler (r) [2021 file photo].

Today:

Vicky Hartzler

The one year anniversary of January 6th highlights the Democrats’ obsession with Donald Trump and the politicization of this unfortunate event. Instead of focusing on the great challenges facing Americans today, such as Inflation hurting families, the border crisis raging on, and our enemies across the globe no longer fearing us, the Left wants to continue living in the past. We MUST change course.

We also must remember that Americans who participated in the Capitol riots last year are still being held in despicable conditions. While these individuals broke the law and should be held accountable, they should not be denied basic rights. The January 6th panel should tour the D.C. jail and ensure that constitutionally protected rights are upheld.

“…The January 6th panel should…”

Wait, Vicky Hartzler voted against the “January 6th” panel.

Insurrection and Sedition (May 19, 2021)

Some of the responses to Vicky Hartzler’s (r) post on Facebook:

`So….
You defend the traitors to democracy.
Got it.

Sometimes, Vicky, the truth is hard to see. Your statements reveal that you are blind to the “dagger at the throat of democracy”. Your failure to support the investigations into the revolt show in a bright light how you are denying your oath to this country. You should be outraged at what happened on 1-6-21 not continuing to spread the BIG LIE. The truth will always come out. The leaders who assisted in this American disgrace will be held accountable. You can either be on the side of the truth and be part of the healing of this country or you can continue your scheme to support those who lie. You have the choice and I encourage you to do what is right for your constituents and country.

“Unfortunate event”, that’s what you call an attempted coup? You are nothing more than a complicit hack.

Interesting that you’re choosing to make a statement on this on your campaign page and not your congressional page.

Sedition, sedition, sedition.

This day will forever mark the shame of Republicans & their insurrection! You cannot reframe it into something else!

The fact that you refer to it as an unfortunate event is telling. You clearly aren’t interested in accountability, since the “unfortunate event” in question wouldn’t have happened if one person had just accepted reality. You dishonor Capitol Hill police who were injured and/or died from the insurrection that day by minimizing what actually occurred. Shameful.

Says the person who buys into and promotes the BIG LIE and voted against the will of the voters twice Immediately after OUR Capitol was attacked and police and people were hurt and died. You should not serve in elected office. Country over your “It’s All About Vicky” propaganda. #jan6insurrection

Oh Vicky. What’s your end game??

Take some selfies in their living conditions.

She won’t.

One of the major issues facing the United States is the division caused by the Republican party, promoting trump’s big lie. Most of the problems could be addressed rationally and reasonably, but for republican obstructionism. You continue to harp on Democrats’ inability to address national problems, but your party takes no positive action. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. What ever happened to the party of Eisenhower?

It dissolved over 40 years ago.

Vicky you are a joke. Where were you Jan 6 2020? In your bullet proof underwear knowing the coup was happening? You havent helped the Jan 6 committee and if you are a loyal citizen of US sworn to protect the constitution why are you still kissing Trump? What does Trump have over you?

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday from Roy Blunt (r):

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Over the last 2 years, Congress has provided more than $80 billion for the administration to improve & expand COVID-19 testing capabilities. Congress, and the American people, need to know the administration’s strategy & how @HHSgov is using taxpayer funding.
11:12 AM · Jan 4, 2022

“Over the last 2 years…”

Joe Biden was sworn in as President on January 20, 2021, less than twelve months ago.

On March 18, 2021, nine months ago, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Xavier Becerra as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The vote was 50-49.

Vote Summary
Question: On the Nomination (Confirmation: Xavier Becerra, of California, to be Secretary of Health and Human Services)
Vote Number: 125
Vote Date: March 18, 2021, 11:59 AM
Required For Majority: 1/2
Vote Result: Nomination Confirmed
Nomination Number: PN78-2
Nomination Description: Xavier Becerra, of California, to be Secretary of Health and Human Services
Vote Counts:
YEAs 50
NAYs 49
Not Voting 1

Blunt (R-MO), Nay

[emphasis added]

Roy Blunt (r) voted “No”.

What an asshole.

Some of the Twitter responses to Roy Blunt (r):

Suddenly, you’re so concerned.
[….]

We noticed that, too.

Were you worried in summer 2020 when we learned Jared Kushner spent tax payer $ on test kits and held them back? I had covid in July 2020 and waited in line 5 days in a row for 2 hours a day to get a test. We still don’t have an answer about where those tests went? Why?

Isn’t this a state problem? Isn’t the money sent to them to manage this??

Mike Parson (r). He’s not concerned.

Isn’t this where MO AGO sues? How is a mask mandate considered “government control” but suing school districts and county health to prohibit masks not “government control”?

There is a test shortage because Republicans refuse to get vaccinated. According to Gallup, 40% of Republicans “don’t plan” to get vaccinated, versus 26% of Independents and just 3% of Democrats. Use your voice to convince Republicans to get vaccinated.

What happened, Roy? Didn’t get a cut you were expecting? Your state fights protection measures in court, & distorts test/case results. Biden is ramping tests up mega-fold. If people would get vaxxed & practice safety measures, we wouldn’t need so many tests. Help w/ solutions

Republicans were in charge the first year. The only plan was the President’s son-in-law telling Governors to “work the phones.”

After Trump said stop testing? Parson says MO has a stock pile of tests. Where the hell are they? Might want to take a look at your party/cult.

Roy, the governor of the state you represent (but don’t live in) just washed his hands of Covid mitigation.

Meanwhile, we are again hitting unprecedented Covid infection rates. The ICUs are near capacity AGAIN.

Why not find out WHY our Governor is AWOL in this fight?

Because you are just a spectator in the government. Apparently

2 years ago?

Who was president then?

Well what does it matter our Governor says get it, deal with it, and what happens happens. Mo. from a GOP leadership perspective has no intention of doing anything to mitigate the virus anymore. Parsons says we’re GOOD, the kings have spoken so the commoners must submit.

Such chutzpah, Roy.

This morning from Vicky Hartzler (r):

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Biden just rammed through a booster shot recommendation for our kids without convening a panel of advisors to weigh in on the matter.

Doctors have called the move “unconscionable.”

Americans deserve answers from the White House.
[….]
8:08 AM · Jan 4, 2022

Fox?

“Faux News channel, fascist groupies” – protest sign, circa 2003- 2004.

As usual, there is much hilarity in the responses:

What doctor?
#VickyHartzlerisaliar

Some Fox news contributer.

Vicky claims to be pro life.

And a faux entertainment article is your source? Aww vicks, do better.

Oh please. [….]

Recommendation doesn’t sound like mandates. Why do you dislike kids?

Go away Vicky

What doctors? Dr. Oz? #Covidiots2022

Release your January 6 text and emails.

They aren’t mandatory you nitwit but parents who actually love their children will get them the booster to protect them from death or long COVID

Too bad you don’t love kids like you love guns, insurrectionists, racists, Fascists, authoritarians, conspiracists, Proud Boys, white supremacy, and lying.
