Senator Eric Schmitt
[August 13, 2026]

The best beer in the world is brewed at Anheuser-Busch in my hometown of St. Louis.
Drink American beer 🇺🇸🍻
[….]

Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

Some of the responses:

Senator, you worrying about sports and beer, with everything else going on….is like Trump fretting over the ballroom and getting his name back on the Kennedy Center.
Maybe a little more attention to the economy and the Iran War, please.

Although modelo and corona are brewed by AB InBev, modelo and corona are actually brewed in Mexico Dipschmitt!
Keep up the good work!

You have driven me to drink more.

Real Men of Genius! Yes AB In Bev, is a multinational company based in Belgium!

So… North Korea, huh. Go figure.

This isn’t college anymore buddy…

But Kid Rock shot Bud Light for being transexual.

First sports now it’s beer and the hell with health care

Republicans are pro-North Korea now?
(North Korea has a decades-long history of military and technological cooperation with Iran, helping Tehran build the ballistic missile and rocket capabilities it uses to counter the United States and its regional allies.) Google
Are you ever going to do the right thing and stop this insanity?

Good to know. Not everyone drinks beer. Can you maybe work on healthcare? Affordable insurance and affordable medications?

Ghislaine Maxwell is being fed BETTER than our troops at sea! But sure, college sports, golf and beer. 🤡

There is excellent beer brewed in St. Louis. It shows who you care about that you highlight a macro brew, not a beer from one of the many excellent craft brewers.

Owned by Inbev… not American… since 2007.

The embarrassment of Saint Louis University continues…

Is this guy the best Missouri has to offer?

Joe Biden is not the president. Joe Biden hasn’t been the president in almost two years. I was not paying $9 a lb for hamburger meat and $4 a gallon for gas when Joe Biden was president. This is Trump’s America.

I’d ask you about the economy or the war but it looks like you’re busy with more important things

This is the important matter you are spending time on? All the major issues occurring that affect Missourian’s lives and you choose this?
First, if you REALLY cared about Missourians, you’d hype any one (or many) of the microbrews that are 100% owned and operated by Missouri small businesses and pay taxes and employ our own.
Second, this just shows how absolutely idiotic you are. InBev money eventually flows to ANOTHER COUNTRY. Not state. Country.

We’re lowering our food standards and look where it got us a whole bunch of recalled food making us sick. Dumb Fucks!

Budweiser is now owned by InBev-a Belgian firm. August Busch III sent ownership out of the U.S., as all good American plutocrats do.
Just not ringin’ the right bells for me, Schmitthead.

Are you serious? People can’t afford the basics and you are talking about beer? You are a terrible senator.

Amazing job, Trump voters. We now have the shitty economy and wars that you pretended Biden and Harris would give. You are all morons.
Pendejos.

Republicans let Trump start another war in the Middle East, put illegal tariffs on every country he can think of, and now Americans are out $219 BILLION.
While families can barely afford to put food on the table, he has enriched himself to the tune of $2.2 BILLION.

Another day, another embarrassingly tone deaf post from one of Missouri’s worst senators in history. Fucking resign already.

Josh Hawley (r) [2024 file photo].

Maybe a tie.

You just bounce from one inane subject to another. Do you have ADD? Also you flat out suck.

You never address anything that is important. You are a joke.

“Squirrel!”

Hawley, Schmitt & Blanche

bullshit, Eric Schmitt, Fascist pig, missouri, right wingnut, Senate, social media, sycophant, Trump sycophant, U.S

Senator Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

“…Oh, a bullshit artist…”

On Friday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 31, 2026]

The central plank of Democrat party is open borders and mass migration.
They want to import millions of illegal aliens, give them welfare benefits, and have them vote in our elections.
They’ve lost the case with the American people.
[….]

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Oh horsepuckey 🥴you’re a delusional white supremacist liar. RESIGN.

Horseshit works, too.

You lie. But then what is new?

Please list in detail and with citations the evidence for your claims.

[….] It is the responsibility of the person posting this absurd 💩to prove what they have stated!! Otherwise, it is just pure 🐂💩!!

[….] from Senator Eric-“I was told to do so by fellow Carpet Bagger Josh and the Dear Leader, Felon in Chief himself.”

Please don’t confuse MAGA supporters by asking for facts.

The Kool-aid is strong with Eric. 💪

Don’t forget to call them commies, that always works!

Is this satire?

Sadly, no.

Where, WHERE is there any policy statement stating open borders?

==========

The paid demobots bombarding all republican posts. This is why you can’t cater to democrats. They are evil people. You have to step on their heads and force them to leave the state. More mega, more anti-democrat laws. These people only want to destroy the state and the country. We have to destroy their will to stay.

Bullshit Im fighting this the all way. And Im not a bot. Im a Democrat/Liberal who cares about people and my beloved Country. I’m not evil, but you are, wanting people to leave. Simply because they disagree w/your narrative. This is free Country so you can fuck off!!

MAGA leaders are the ones destroying America. Sadly the MAGA followers just keep drinking the koolaid. 🗽

We didn’t elect a convicted rapist for president.

We’re constituents, ass face.

Such a shrewd judge of character!
Sure ~ keep cheering a twice-divorced adulterer and convicted sexual predator, an OBVIOUS PEDOPHILE, who ran up the federal debt, sloppily imposed tariffs, embraced the anti-American autocrats leading Russia and North Korea and Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who incited a storming of the Capitol – a man devoid of serious thought and guiding policy principles, a self-fixated candidate who presented no intellectual framework for his presidency, overtly racist, a convicted FELON, a man who pays more in hush money to porn stars than in taxes, who mocks the dead and threatens our deepest allies…

It is curious how every Republican accusation is a confession. Note how FB and other social media are overrun with Russian/Republican bots again with the coming election. But you accuse Democrats.

I’m not paid. I criticize Sen. Schmitt out of the goodness of my heart.

Wow, the “it’s my state and anyone who doesn’t agree with me should be stepped on” narcissism in this post is over the top, you should seek mental health counseling. Fascism is not a good replacement for democracy as much as you want it to be.

I believe it is the Republicans and Trumps Fascist party that are destroying our country

Give us more messaging from Adolf, translated from the original German, please.

And this is what passes for rational debate?

“Stupid people love me” DJT “Smart people don’t like me” DJT …Thank you for confirming that.

Dude, try pouring the kool-aid over your head instead of drinking it. It might cool you off.😊

Read what you wrote and tell me who actually sounds evil here.

==========

What are the central planks of the Republican Party? How are those going?

What he means is.. hey daddy look at me, me!…lol

Running scared, are we?

“Central plank”? How about no stupid wars and affordability

The Ten Commandments address lying specifically in the ninth commandment, which is found in both Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20 of the Bible.Here is what the commandment states about lying and neighbors:The Text: The commandment instructs: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor”.The Original Meaning: In ancient Israel, this primarily served as a prohibition against perjury or giving false testimony in a court of law. It was meant to ensure that justice was served and that innocent people were not condemned by lies.Lying About Your Neighbor: The wording specifically focuses on harm directed at a neighbor, which in this context means any fellow human being, friend, or community member. It outlaws malicious deception used to hurt someone else’s reputation, steal their property, or compromise their safety.Broad Application: While the commandment originated to prevent judicial fraud, it is universally interpreted by major religious traditions (including Judaism and Christianity) as a broader prohibition against all forms of lying, gossiping, slandering, and spreading rumors that damage another person’s character.

Explain to me Eric, like I’m a college graduate, how it’s not socialism, communism even that the Federal government is now owning stakes in companies?

Wow, given the Republican party is currently in charge, and the current economy, fuel prices, grocery prices, and stagnating wages, he’s whining about the other party?

We have a winner!

Not a Democrat, but I do know some, and not one of them feels this way soooo I’m beginning to think this is some distractive 🐂💩

January 6th.

There’s that.

“Import?” 🤦🏼‍♂️

Another bag of baloney…

Your last name is German. Assuming your ancestors came here in 19th century…via open borders.

As opposed to Republicans who want nobody to have healthcare.

If so, have a town hall open to all. That’ll go well for you.

No it isn’t. Try again

u gonna bail out farm$ again??🤡

Still riding that tired old horse?

Tell me you’re part of the cult, without telling me you’re part of the cult.

I’d pay good money to see walk the plank!

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

Don’t you get tired of saying the same lines over and over?

You aren’t reading appropriate materials if that’s what you think is the central plank. If you need to shorten their plank into one simple sentence try affordability along with opportunities for all.

Actually it’s Medicare for all. Try to keep up.

You are delusional and need to listen to all people, not just spread hate.

Why is it we never hear an original thought from this guy?

Name one Democratic candidate or incumbent that has said they want open borders. Just one.

Amazing, people can say this stuff with a straight face.

No it’s not. You wouldn’t be focused on these lies if you had anything, ANYTHING, positive to offer.

Why would you say this? It’s just not true for most democrats and you know this.
There are things on their platform that you likely don’t agree with but why make up things?

Federal law has banned undocumented immigrants from SNAP, Medicaid, and SSI since 1996. (Thanks Bill Clinton) That’s almost 30 years of bipartisan law. Some some states cover limited things like emergency care with state money, but “millions on federal welfare” just isn’t real.
Non-citizen voting in federal elections is already a felony. A handful of cities let non-citizens vote in local school board races. That’s not a party platform, that’s like five city councils.
So this isn’t really “facts,” it’s three myths stacked on top of each other.
To be fair, there are real debates to have about asylum policy and enforcement levels. Just not this version of them.

I am a Democrat and I can tell you that everything you just said is not true.

Oh, BS. As a Democrat, I want a reasonable path to citizenship, for the US to honor its promises to folks following a prescribed path. I also want healthcare, housing, food and education to be affordable. I want the administration to follow the Constitution and legal precedent.

I’m sorry, but I don’t actually believe that you have ever actually asked any of us what we think about anything. I would’ve definitely shown up for that conversation.
Personally, I’m really tired of being “othered” by partisan political hacks. I am an American citizen, born and raised in Missouri. Forced into a party affiliation by Missouri closed primary voting laws.
I do not believe in wide open borders, I do not believe that we should be propping up anyone, citizen or not, that is capable of supporting themselves and I don’t believe or think that everyone that enters the country should be eligible to vote in our elections. Neither does any other progressive voter that I know.
STOP LYING! STOP DIVIDING!
DO YOUR JOB and represent all Missourians, even those of us that did not vote for you! You wanted the job, you won the job! And you have spent your time and our money demonizing half of your constituency as the enemy to the other half.
DO BETTER.

Spoken by a former Missouri AG. You know those guys that uses to believe in due process.

Not really.

You are so misinformed Eric. It’s laughable that a human would even say such nonsense, particularly one who thinks he is intelligent.
Really?😲🙄 is that what you think?
And do you even think Americans would believe that?

None of this is supported by evidence. You have no good qualities to run on, so you have resorted to name calling and scare tactics. Every metric is negative. You can not show one positive outcome from this administration. We have seen what you have to offer and it’s a no for us dawg!

Actually, we want cheaper groceries, gas, housing. We want universal healthcare, a living wage, free college, paid family leave, paid vacation and childcare.

How’s that lying about the reflecting pool vandalism going?

Do Republicans ever tell the truth? About anything? I’m beginning to think the answer might be NO.

blah blah blah

Actually it you and your fascist fellow Republicans who have lost your case with the American people .

No it is not. Do any of you ever fact check or do any research?

You’re so full of shit

You realize we didn’t have a border patrol until 1924 right? and we only even started patrolling officially off and on in 1904. Though there were informal “Chinese Inspectors” since the “Chinese exclusion act” in 1882
So I’m fairly certain, our history, says “your a fucking moron”.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

You can always tell when a Rapethuglican is lying because they’re breathing.

Stop with the hysteria. Your degree of spreading lies and disinformation is astounding! I can’t believe that sensible people have voted for you.

Is there even one Republican telling the truth and actually working for their constituents?

Keep a fire extinguisher near your pants at all times.

You’re so full of shit Eric, lie to the public just to save your ass and your half baked party’s ass. Stop gaslighting you POS.

Where’s your evidence?
When your party has only manufactured fear to offer. It’s telling 😉

Well, no it actually isn’t. Why lie about it?

Is Mitch McConnell available for comments?

Don’t drink the koolaid folks…unbelievable

Asshole!!!!

Say desperately out loud lies to say how desperately you need to lie

How’s your war going?

“War [good god!] Is Good [what is it good for?] For Absolutely Nothing [say it again!]”
Circa 2001-2005.
28 x 22, posterboard, permanent marker.

Lying fool. 🤡

Lazy recital of the latest scare tactics by an obvious toady.

You are makin’ stuff up; these are lies, and history will be brutal to you. Can’t wait.

No one with any sense believes you, asshole

Drinking the kool-aid again? You are a joke

You just demonstrated your lack of critical thinking ability.

You are a #1 grade A doofus. People are worried about food prices, healthcare, housing, things your party are cutting for the most vulnerable. Elections haven’t been a problem until 🍊🤡. And you are helping him destroy America!!

Hey there, Eric, remember Missouri. You know, where your constituents live and vote. Some of us are a bit more concerned with gas closing in on $4 a gallon, grocery prices through the roof, and an insane war waged by Trump, without consulting with Congress.

You know that is untrue. This shows you can’t be trusted to be honest. Shame on you

What a mud slinger you are. Tell us what you are for and quit lying about the Democrats. Find some integrity and decency. “Show Me” that you deserve to be a Senator. You are looking like a lost cause these days, undeserving of an office.

No it’s not but you sure as hell can’t run on this disastrous administration. You have no shame

Hate fills your heart dude.

That’s not what they want. Why do you deliberately lie? Do you not have your own policies to promote. Is your only stance attacking democrats with a false narrative. If that’s all you’re about you need to get the fuck out.

You are a joke …. And a bully.

Pretty presumptuous of you to tell me what I believe or don’t believe in.

Idiotspeak

Do people actually believe these lies?

Settle down, bubba. Take your meds.

Oh look. Making crap up. Why? Truth is a vote loser, I guess.

You do realize that the magat cult stupid enough to believe you is shrinking, right?

1. Obama was originally called the reporter in chief.
2. You can’t receive welfare without a valid SSN number.
3. Only Trump has put out a ” gold card” to fast track immigrant to citizenship.
So how are your claims true? Propaganda against democrats for something that is not true is called lying. On top of that demonizing a marginalized ethnic people is wrong. Separation of ethnic backgrounds is supposed to be against the law. No matter executive order or not equality has always been an American value. You sir are white that = immigrant at some point in your own family history. Since we are in Missouri I truly hope you understand pot calling kettle black doesn’t make it right.

Jesus Fucking Christ…Do these people actually believe this? I mean seriously, if they were in court and started spouting this nonsense, they would be referred for a competency hearing…this is literally insane…

No it isn’t, you lying, misrepresenting fuckwad.

Again, why would you make up this ‘crap’. From a person who supported gerrymandering to favor a political party in the upcoming midterm elections and is trying to pass the act that would impact far more legal votes than illegal votes. So, it’s also disgusting that you’re supporting these things that are trying to change things unfairly to gain election results.
While I think the moderate Republicans want rules to be enforced fairly, the Republicans & current President you support do not enforce rules fairly. The current administration is not concerned with the common working class Americans – the focus is on helping billionaires get richer.

What in the world are you blabbing about? You know that’s not true. Please worry about something of importance for your constituents.

Pssst….. lol, we don’t believe you.

This would be funny if it wasn’t so stupid.

Senator Schmitt, you are lying. Non-citizens do not qualify for federal aid and they do not vote. If this were true, Republicans would have brought cases to court– with proof– but they haven’t because there is no proof. You are hawking a bogus conspiracy theory to gullible constituents for political gain. I can’t think of anything more dishonorable. You’re a pandering con-man who has forgotten his oath to the Constitution. YOU are the disgusting one. Lies do not become truth no matter how many times they are repeated.
Grammar check: it’s the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party.
On a personal note, you may want to consider asking God for forgiveness.

Republicans like being laughed at.

The central plank of the Republican Party is thinking all Americans are stupid enough to believe their lies.

No election platform of substance, sow fear. Old strategy

More nonsense from the right. Lie and deny is all they know. Bunch of fascists

You are so full of it Schmitt. Open borders and mass migration? No, how about Medicare for all? How about free and fair elections? How about ending this senseless war in Iran? How about Senators that stand up against a pay to play corrupt government? Affordable housing, affordable education, affordable child care, affordable groceries for crying out loud?

Why do you think people would believe such ludicrous claims? It’s embarrassing.

No, it’s not. Not even close. But hey, while we’re on the subject, what’s the central plank of the republican party? Other than kissing the felon’s butt and trying to scare the stupid? Haven’t heard a thing about what you’re going to do to improve life for the American people. Not one word.

Fearmongering is for pols with no platform and voters incapable of thinking critically.

Shut the fuck already! This bullshit line is really getting old. What else do you guys have? Healthcare? Lower grocery prices? Lower gas prices? How about you talk about something real instead of made up 💩 like this. 🤷‍♂️

You know what your motto should be, Eric? “I love to hurt people who live in Missouri”. You have two years left in office and I cannot wait to start working to remove you and all the other pedophile loving people in your ass-backwards party.

The hell it is you asshole. Quit the fucking fear mongering all the damn time, you sycophantic piece of shit.

Somebody has overdosed on the Kool Ade. Every time a politician even hints that working people should get paid a fair wage the overlords panic and yell Communism. Are hospitals and roads communist? Are police and ambulance services Communist? Sometimes people just like to get together to have projects that benefit everyone. And sometimes that includes our immigrant neighbors. And a lot of workers are immigrants. They aren’t all on welfare. Statistics show they have a really short stay if they are allowed to work. This is just hate propaganda.

A fascist says, “what”. Fuck off, Nazi

You are a liar. Stop with the hate. One day you may need someone that doesn’t “belong” to your hate party. And they will help you. Because they aren’t you.

You are a lying fucking piece of shit. You are a despicable excuse for a human.

I couldn’t find any party “plank” that contained these things.
Eric, are you just another liar who is happy to sully our political process?
Shame

You know, you’re really making it hard for me to really figure out whether you or Hawley is a bigger asshole & who has more shit for brains…you’re a stale piece of bootlicking toast bud

It’s not. You fucking shithead!

You’re a U.S. senator. Why are you making this up?

Senator – i truly believe your fear mongering will be viewed for what it is. Please furnish the proof. We keep hearing these unsubstantiated claims but investigation has been going on for years by independent entities. Please quit insulting our intelligence.

“Open borders” are a lie made up by people who think that making people afraid of boogiemen passes for leadership. Immigrants are not our enemies. People scrounging to make a living mowing lawns and laying bricks are not the real criminals afflicting this nation. Pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

Republicans support an oligarchy and not the people. Every move you make proves it

“…There are many copies. And they have a plan.”

For people that are hellbent on plastering the 10 Commandments all over the place sure don’t seem to have problem lying.

Do your homework, Eric. Is the Republican platform so bankrupt that the only thing you can do is to misrepresent your opponents’ position and then attack the misrepresentation.

Apparently.

You’re an idiot. It’s the Repubs that keep get beaten in court and public opinion. You are a liar.

The central prank of the Republican Party is drumming up sympathy for billionaires so they don’t have to pay taxes

Yeah, yeah, yeah – The Democrats are all Communists who are possessed by demons. worship Satan and will use vaccines to control.your minds.
Now what the hell are Republicans going to do to clean up the mess that have made of our country?
Want to start with Trump’s war?

It must be a very lucrative gig to wake up and lie your ass off every day.

What has this administration and the Republicans touched that is going well? We are getting poorer. We have to give the farmers 12 billion to bail them out due to tariff wars. China is buying soybeans from Brazil now. People cannot afford basic necessities including healthcare. We have explosive diarrhea and poor air quality caused by climate change. Are we going to leave a world to our children and grandchildren where Canada and Europe are burning? You are spineless and feckless. Why are you voting to take healthcare away with tax cuts for the billionaires? Why are we sending tax dollars to Israel? I want Israeli citizens to be safe but I am not ok with starving and killing thousands of children. Israel has affordable healthcare for all but we do not.

I get it Senator, we are headed into the mid terms with the most corrupt president imaginable and You and Your party has facilitated the corruption all the way. You need a distractions. You need a scapegoats to cover up your parties failures. We know, all the Democrats are “commies”, they all want open borders, they want to fill the country will immigrants and sign them up to vote.
You don’t want us thinking about the 1.8 billion dollar slush fund for Trump’s friends. You want to for get the billions Trumps and his family are making off the presidency. You want us to forget about the people who have been shot or died in ICE custody.
You promised lower food prices But they went ever higher with the tariffs, You promised lower gas prices but the Trump got the Straits closed, You promised ‘No New Wars’ but now we are stuck in Iran, You betrayed your constituents by cutting medicaid and passing the biggest tax cut for millionaires and billionaires ever, You promised to deport “the worst of the worst” but you are shipping everyone you can find out of the country.
Why do I say you have done these things? Because you and the rest of the republican legislatures lack there courage to hold Trump responsible – you have abdicated your constitutionally mandated role as a representative of the people who elected you.

==========

I support euthanizing open borders proponents, euthanizing redistribution advocates, and all DSA members/supporters. It’s time to cleanse the parasites and morons from America

Welcome to early 21st-Century America.

==========

You do realize the only thing stupider than this statement… Are the imbeciles that support you

See above.

Do you really believe the shit you’re spewing?

*sigh*. You just look desperate. What are you afraid of?

Accountability.

Hawley Exposes Fauci’s Self-Dealings, Fauci Pleads the Fifth
Wednesday, July 29, 2026

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) grilled Dr. Anthony Fauci in a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing over his self-dealings, pursuit of awards and cash prizes, and illegal use of federal employees and resources amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Fauci pled the Fifth each time, refusing to answer any of Senator Hawley’s questions. Fauci even pled the Fifth when Senator Hawley asked what day of the week it was, what color his tie was, and what color the carpet in front of him was, proving he had no intention to answer questions in good faith. [….]

Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 15, 2026]

The Hammer & Sickle wave has taken over the Democrat party.
They are Anti-police. Anti-ICE. Anti-Western Civilization.
It’s incredibly dangerous for our country.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Is the boogie man in the country with us?

As long as there are Republicans…

Yah his name is trump

Yah his name is trump

Franklin D. Roosevelt was frequently called a socialist by his conservative and far-right critics during the 1930s. However, he strongly rejected the label and viewed his New Deal policies not as a shift toward socialism, but as a pragmatic effort to save capitalism by addressing severe economic inequality and preventing a potential revolution.

what he did was lift the country out of a Depression. Just because it helps people doesn’t make socialism evil. Capitalism without regard to the working class is evil.

anti cops come from their own actions.

I needed a good laugh this morning. Keep the Russian influence coming – we all need a joke to start our day.

Ignorance, stupidity and hate on full display. Typical degenerate scumbag loser.

except it’s not funny; it’s hateful and a deliberate effort to smear over 50% of the voters in our country.

This guy is hilarious

Of course he is! …. He’s a REPBLICAN!😂

what a delusional pice of fascist shitbag

Ignorance and hate on full display. Typical degenerate scumbag loser!

They are worried about communism, but they really ought to look up the 14 characteristics of fascism.

Fascism Anyone? – Laurence W. Britt (2003)

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”

Oh no the Pinkos are back!
You guys are great comedy. I thank you.

Are you serving the people or the Republican party? Instead of spewing the rhetoric the Republican Party has told you to use, maybe you should listen to the constituents of Missouri who elected you to represent them. I am tired of your fear mongering rhetoric and can’t wait to vote you out.

Theyre really really going for the scare angle on the mid terms

Is this the new desperation angle?? Ya’ll, really?

If this The Onion or InfoWars?

Sadly, no.

Inaccurate. But the pro-McCarthy wave is taking over the GOP.

Carry that water, dude.

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag, carrying a Bible. And calling itself MAGA. (see above)

Paint me evil for wanting universal healthcare, paid maternity leave, free college and trade school, protections for workers from wage theft and exploitation, clean water and air, safety, and our freedoms protected.

So the tagline ‘socialist’ wasn’t wording and is now escalated to ‘communist’ – got it.

What crazy label will Republicans use next to attack Democrats?
Republicans control all 3 branches of our government. Wouldn’t be nice if they could use their time to make America a better place to live?

oh no not the red scare…again… because that went so well the first time around lol

Oh, y’all found a new talking point. How cute!

I thought we were ANTIFA??? 😄

This doesn’t sound like communism to me …………Liberals in the United States have historically championed an active government role to promote social welfare, expand civil liberties, and regulate the free market. Their major contributions to the country fall into several foundational areas: Economic and Labor Protections The New Deal (1930s): Instituted under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, this series of programs created Social Security to provide a safety net for the elderly, established the minimum wage, and spurred job creation through programs like the Works Progress Administration. Labor Rights: Legalized the right of workers to form unions and collectively bargain through the National Labor Relations Act. Civil and Voting Rights Civil Rights Act of 1964: Passed under President Lyndon B. Johnson, this landmark legislation legally ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Voting Rights Act of 1965: Prohibited racial discrimination …

You are hilarious! Let’s cry “red menace”… that will move public opinion.

Old playbook won’t work

Projecting much?

I was a preteen in the 50s, but I remember my mom was locked on those hearings daily. When McCarthy was finally called out, it sounded like a baseball stadium in our neighborhood.

The “red menace” myth again!🤣 That dog don’t hunt.

Anti western civilisation? OMG we are doomed, doomed I say.

I’m 63 years old, and I’ve been hearing about “communism” taking over our country for as long as I remember. It’s a scare tactic that is used to intimidate when things aren’t going their way. Those of us who are educated and intelligent know that. It’s the same old, same old. The only enemy we face, right now, is the current administration. Period.

Did not have “attempt to recreate the Red Scare” on my 2026 bingo card

Maybe the senator should be anti-lying?

This idiot is such an embarrassment.

A lot of well reasoned and intelligent responses to this ridiculous post. I can’t add anything extra so I will just say ‘piss off Eric’.

When was the last time you actually had an original thought instead of just regurgitating shite….

Does he have a list of names?

The Red Scare bit is many decades out of date.

. . . Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Studies show that the states and counties with worst quality of life are governed by Republicans. Tickle down economics is a monumental failure. Drastic change has to happen, and moderation ain’t going to cut it.

“We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our own history and our doctrine and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular…. There is no way for a citizen of the Republic to abdicate his responsibility.”
― Edward R. Murrow

The things people say instead of just saying the truth; they truly only want two classes in society, the rich and the poor

What are you afraid of Eric?

Now affordability and expanding public services are “hammer and sickle” policies?

Wow you make them sound so cool

Heh.

Wine makes everything funnier

Heh.

I don’t know why these people think anyone is taking them seriously. It’s like they think we’re stupid or something.

Sadly, yes.

Right because expecting OUR HARD EARNED TAX MONEY to come back to *us* in the form of services and not just be siphoned off by billionaires is just *so* unreasonable. 🙄

When I see the inversion of truth, where lies are presented as facts, I feel compelled to interact. The entire Republican platform falls under the category of “inversion of truth”. The deliberate reversal of reality, where truth is branded as falsehood and lies are presented as fact, essentially turning moral or factual, truths upside down. It is a form of manipulation or propaganda where, for example, evil is labeled good, or aggression is portrayed as defense.

Everyone’s laughing at you Eric.

I saw some unicorns, a few pigs flying by, and it might’ve been a cow jumping over the moon last night, but I still haven’t seen any people pushing for communism. Anyone else?

Are they in the room with us now?

Gaslighting at its finest.

Oh my, be Communist is not enough! Now we are against Western Culture too! Hilarious 😂

I would be ashamed if this kind of crap came out of my mouth. Apparently you failed your history class

I’m so scared

Awww! Might cut into the grift.

Nutcase

Oh my god, how dare anyone propose helping the poor and elderly, making health care affordable, making the obscenely wealthy pay appropriate taxes, ensuring freedom of and from religion…it is far too anti-evil to be considered…

What are you, 3 years old? Get a grip mini-McCarthy.

Do these Republicans really believe this shit?

It’s hard to tell.

Let’s resurrect the old republican playbook of McCarthyism. Because that worked so well, the first time

we are also anti-propaganda

Oh, come on!! This is what we’re going with now? Pathetic.

I get to live through a pandemic AND another red scare, oh what a time to be alive

You people are so fucking desperate it is unreal.

This guy is an idiot!!! Helping the GOP demagogues to establish another boogeyman for the cowardly GOP electorate. Schmitt contributes nothing to this nation but GOP bullshit.

And on and on….

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Today:

Eric Schmitt
[June 30, 2026]

This decision is egregiously wrong. SCOTUS upheld UNLIMITED birthright citizenship.
A bad reading of the 14th Amendment stripped Americans of control over who joins our political community.
I fought this in Court. I’m fighting it in Congress. We must win.
So, if legislation cannot fix it, then we must amend the Constitution. Citizenship belongs to the American people.
I will be filing this soon. We must restore American citizenship and put We the People first. We must fight.

[We the People Amendment
Restores the Bond of citizenship by:
Only Americans and legal permanent residents receive birthright citizenship – not illegal aliens or tourists
Only Americans vote in federal and state elections
Only Americans count for apportionment
Only Americans may hold federal office, and dual citizens are barred
Only Americans receive federal benefits like welfare and Social Security]

Fascist pig.

“…Only Americans vote in federal and state elections
Only Americans count for apportionment
Only Americans may hold federal office, and dual citizens are barred…”

And stupid, too. Do tell us of any non-citizens who hold elected federal office. We’ll wait.

“…not illegal aliens…”

“No Human is Illegal”

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

Only US citizen’s can vote in federal and state elections already. To hold federal office, they must already be a US Citizen.
Birthright citizenship means if you are born in this country. A legal permanent resident cannot receive birthright citizenship because they were not born in the US. An unborn child cannot enter the country undocumented or as a tourist.

Well, If they get this changed, then according to Trump his 3 oldest children are Anchor Babies and should be the 1st to be Deported, Trump’s 1st wife did not become a US Citizen intill after Eric was born…So, Go for and then we can follow the law and start with the 3 oldest Trump’s and their children

People have come to this country for many many years with the hope of having a better life. We have always been called the, Land of Opportunity and that’s what makes us a great nation. This country was built on the backs of immigrants looking for something better. Leave the birth right citizenship as it is. We wouldn’t be here today otherwise.

not recover? From what? The last time the immigration laws were substantively changed was 1996. You are as ignorant af. Our population through birth has steadily declined since 1960. We are under the replacement rate. How do you propose we get more bodies into our workforce?
If you are intent on making “America Great Again” you should not forget what made America great in the first place—birthright citizenship was a big part of that—everybody on a level playing field—opportunity for all. Get educated.

Next we’re gonna start arguing about what Pythagoras REALLY meant when he said a² + b² = c² 🙄
It’s plainly written, clear as day. Anyone born in the United States is a United States citizen. Saying otherwise is just blatantly wrong.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Pretty clear what it says Eric. Maybe go back to law school.

Brother, you’re explicitly and objectively wrong about this. Even the drafters of the 14th Amendment acknowledged that it granted citizenship to all babies born in the US, except those born to foreign agents like diplomats.

Yeah, good luck amending the Constitution. It requires both parties to agree to change it. 2/3 of the House, 2/3 of the Senate, then 3/4 of the States Legislatures to ratify it before it becomes imbedded into the Constitution. It’s next to impossible and most Constitutional Amendments die in subcommittees. You are welcome to try but it’s not likely going to happen. 😂

I prefer the Constitution to your personal opinion.

Right decision. Good luck with an amendment before the mid-terms…or after. Focus on your constituents versus your ‘ideals’.

So…you’re *not* going to back Rubio for president?

Heh. He has someone else in mind.

They made the right decision. Just because you don’t like the fact that these citizens typically vote against you and your racist party doesn’t mean the system is broken. The wording in the US Constitution is very specific, and it was wonderful to see the Supreme Court protect this constitutional right!

Your opinion. 6 Justices had differing views.

Well, Five and a half.

they only way this works is if it applied retroactively to the Jamestown colony.

So…… how do you prove your citizenship?

Have your papers ready (January 14, 2025)

Tell me you’re racist without telling me you’re racist.

🤣😂 Here for all the dunces who have no idea what’s required to pass a constitutional amendment

Im a little worried about how you will be defining “only Americans”

come on. Only Americans is code for white only.

As any middle schooler knows, a change requires a constitutional amendment. Let us know how that works out for you.

Naturalized citizens should not hold office

Ah, the slippery slope. Definitely not an originalist.

The decision is constitutionally sound and frankly should have been 9-0. If you don’t like it, start the process to amend the constitution

Awww, sucks for you when the SCOTUS actually follows the Constitution.

[….] Lunacy! The US and Canada are the ONLY developed nations on the world who recognize birthright citizenship

“…Both U.S. neighbors, Canada and Mexico, allow unrestricted birthright citizenship, as do all but two countries in South America…” [the Western Hemisphere]

As someone that leans on the side of conservatives I am going to flat out tell you that you are wrong on this one. The very first line of the 14th Amendment clearly states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” It doesn’t mention anything about parents being naturalized or natural born citizens.

If you want to make a constitutional amendment edit, then go through the process for it, but the current U.S. Constitution and the documented speech of the author of that amendment while introducing it absolutely makes it clear that if you are born within the boundaries of the U.S. and are subject to U.S. laws (i.e. are not part of the family of a diplomat who has immunity to U.S. laws) then you’re a citizen. The SCOTUS simply correctly interpreted what the current clearly lays out. I’m disappointed that you are the one supporting a bad reading.

You’re egregiously wrong sir

So much to unpack in those statements but a lot off bullshit and not well thought out

Eric,
You never fail to disappoint.

The supreme court just reminded Trump that he is not an omnipotent potentate and he cannot rule by fiat.

Before jumping on your bandwagon, you will have to convince me that “born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, does not mean what it says. This is not the first time the Supreme Court has ruled on birthright citizenship, and in both cases, they upheld the language of the 14th amendment.

This will surely lower the cost of living!

Did your brain cells fight each other when you wrote this nonsense? 🤣🤣🤣

When SCOTUS says NO, you go low! Add a line to that: to hold office, you must prove a basic understanding of civics. A certificate of remedial education would need to be proof of eligibility to run for office

Birthright citizenship should apply if both parents were born in this country.

goodbye Barron. Goodbye Ivanka, Eric, Jr… And Goodbye Donald J Trump Sr.
None of them had both parents born in USA.

Can we add in something about convicted felons being ineligible for public office?

We see what you did there.

Only “Americans”. Schmitt gets to pick who can be classified as an “American.”

How are you a senator who doesn’t understand how the constitution works? Better yet, how are you a lawyer who doesn’t understand?

The U.S. Senate and law schools will take anybody…

Scared of those brown people I see Eric….

The decision upholds the Constitution sir. One would think someone with a law degree would have known what the President did via Executive Order was not legal.

You should leave the country out of protest. Hell, just shoot yourself in a rocket into fucking space

There’s a guy…

Wait wait wait… are you mad they UPHELD the constitution? I didn’t realize there could be a “bad reading” of an amendment. This is when you need to choose your language wisely because when everything flips blue maybe they will find a “bad reading” of something you agree with then you’ll just have to sit there silently with your clown mask on. 🤡

Fool

The Supreme Court already ruled on point one. Americans are already only allowed to vote in federal and state elections. The Constitution doesn’t say citizens so you’ll need an amendment for apportioning. Only Americans can hold federal office already. Only Americans receive welfare and SS already.
This is performative as hell. You’re finding problems where there is none because the Republicans are covering for Trump with the Epstein files and this godawful war.

No it is not egregious. What was egregious was you trying to take away citizenship and deport people who were born here and have never lived anywhere else.

The 5-4 vote in the birthright citizenship case is a warning that all of US law is in terrible danger.

Will this open the Strait of Hormuz? Will this make housing affordable? Will this lower insurance premiums? Will this help hungry families? Will this release the Epstein files?
No. Because Sen Schmitt’s idea is effing stupid.

Feels a little….Nazi Race Law like..

You are egregiously wrong. The Constitution is very clear about this. The Constitution is not a haphazardly thrown together document. Its language is very precise for a reason.

This has already been the law of the United States for 250 years, so it’s not a surprise and not a change. So, there is no such thing as an amendment to it “restoring” anything. What happened here is that Trump attempted an act of constitutional vandalism, and failed.

Eric, I know thinking is hard for you but let’s give it a try. You want “only Americans” to receive birthright citizenship. So how exactly does one go about becoming an “American”? In fact, how did you become an American? You didn’t pass any background check, test or take any citizenship oath. You became an American simply by being born here. Now, I’ll give you time to think about this.

Eric will need a lot of time. He has demonstrated often that thinking is not his stregth

Amazing how you seem to have this sado masochistic obsession with constantly being on the wrong side of history.

Congress can’t pass a spending bill and Eric Schmitt thinks, through the sheer weight of his fantastic personality, he is going to get a Constitutional amendment passed.

There’s that.

Cry about it little bitch

Look kids an asshole that talks

Eric Schmitt should be ashamed of himself. Insisting that the clear and unambiguous language of the 14th amendment could allow any other result is obviously baseless to even a first week law student. Someone whose oath is to the Constitution making such a frivolous claim undermines faith in the judicial system.

You’re not mad at the decision, you’re mad at the Constitution.
You UnAmerican imbecile.

Eric Schmitt – anyone ever tell you that you’re an idiot? You truly are. You claim that the Supreme Court didn’t follow the constitution in its ruling – when in fact it did! And now you want to continue to carve out exceptions. Look, we know that MAGAts like you want to overturn the 14th in its entirety so that you can then argue that there are no people of color allowed to vote and they one count for 3/5 for apportionment , but it ain’t gonna happen. In fact, the original constitution, without amendments, called for the counting EVEYONE – not just those that you deem worthy.
And for the record, states already have laws that say only citizens can vote in state and federal elections. And laws already exist limiting who can receive welfare and SSI benefits. If you feel that they people are getting it that aren’t entitled to it, give the SSA the funds for enforcement instead of cutting it to the bone every chance you get. Seriously, people like you are insufferable.

Yep.

Hawley Introduces Groundbreaking Legislation to Fund Rural Hospitals, Ensure Access to Emergency Care
Wednesday, June 24, 2026

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) held a press conference to introduce the Rural Hospital Emergency Room Guarantee Act, which would ensure Americans living in rural areas have access to top-notch and close-to-home healthcare. [….] Nearly 200 rural hospitals have shut their doors since 2005, leaving millions stranded in the face of potential health emergencies. Senator Hawley’s bill would prevent further closures.

“Americans in rural communities across the country are confronted with a concerning shortage of access to emergency medical care. In Missouri alone, 12 rural hospitals with emergency rooms have closed in as many years, and those that remain open are struggling to keep the lights on. Congress must act swiftly to protect the necessary emergency care hardworking rural families deserve,” said Senator Hawley…

After marathon session, Missouri senators give crucial votes to pass massive budget bill

[….]

Rural hospitals serve outsize numbers of Medicaid patients, said Sheldon Weisgrau, vice president of advocacy and public policy at the Missouri Foundation for Health, a St. Louis-based advocacy and philanthropic organization.

“They’re very reliant on the funding, and they already operate on very thin margins,” he said. “And so any changes, any reductions to what funding is available to them – from any payer source, but most importantly, from their main payer sources – is going to cause problems.”

Hawley said in a press release that the rural hospital fund would add $1 billion to Missouri’s coffers over the next five years.

Heidi Lucas, of the Missouri Rural Health Association, wasn’t impressed with the changes, saying the added amendment just “prolongs the inevitable.”

“I think we’re going to feel it,” she said. “It might take a little bit longer to feel it than what we were initially expecting, but we’ll feel it. And the repercussions of that are going to be terrible, right? I firmly believe people are going to die because of this.”

Desperate sycophant.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

Today:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[May 22, 2026]

Much of Europe is seeing a backslide from the freedoms we as Americans know are endowed to us by God.
Censorship makes societies weaker. It is a stepping stone toward elite “managed” democracy.
[….]

Viktor OrbĂĄn would like a word.

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

Your supreme leader threatens any network or personality who dare question him or upsets his sensitive man child feelings.

Save me your supposed outrage that we are losing our freedoms unless you are willing to do something real about the slide to authoritarianism you and the other MAGA members of Congress are allowing to occur, rather than cheer it on.
Some people are fearful that they will be punished in some why, either by his supporters, or by Trump himself if they speak out against him, or his policies. They understandably figure it’s just a matter of time until they are harmed in some way. And if they are physically harmed, Trump would simply pardon them or attempt for the state to pardon them, as well as pay them for supporting him. You know, like the slush fund he just got from his “former” personal attorney to “settle” something that happened during his own Administration.
He has consistently threatened to bring charges of treason to reporters who have posed questions he doesn’t like, how long will it be fore the DOJ starts doing just that. They have arrested reporters and searched their residences based on what appears to be spurious charges meant to silence them.
The DOD attempted to punish a member of the same legislative body you are, Senator, Mark Kelly, or making a statement right out of the DOD’s own War Manual, the courts saw it for what it was, political retribution.
You and your fellow MAGA Senators are attempting to make it more difficult for US Citizens to exercise their right to vote by imposing unnecessary new laws under the guise of fixing a problem that is so small it cannot be shown to have changed the outcome of one Federal election.

God is doing a shitty job right now!!!

No deity required. Also, a deity didn’t write the Constitution.

So, Senator Eric Schmitt about that democratic self government and the board Republican push to gerrymander and obfuscate the upcoming elections. …. Why are your colleagues pushing to ban life saving drugs and push Christian Sharia Laws?

Describing yourself perfectly

Fuck off with your lies

You’re part of the problem not the solution.

Am I the only one who is dog-tired of this white supremacist senator bombarding the internet with his ignorance, bigotry and hate. In Missouri, we have a very wise saying: whenever you find yourself listening to this guy, pause a moment and remind yourself what rhymes with his name.

That is a high, creepy level of projection

Yet you support book banning, cheered as Donald Trump attacked late night hosts, and called for the arrest of peaceful protestors.

Eric you are a hypocritical pos

Youre so full of shit

Damn bro, take your own advice.

And yet many European countries rank higher in the Freedom Index than the US.

It is the US on which freedoms are being lost, not Europe.

What a giant pile of BS, I have many friends and family in Europe and not one of them has agreed with this codswallop. It is the current US administration that is destroying free speech and taking away peoples rights and freedoms. This is gaslighting.

Fuck you’re stupid.
You’re a dipshit.
#dipshit #propaganda #liar #lies

Says the asshole who tries to restrict women’s freedom for healthcare, gay kids freedom to play sports, teachers and librarians freedoms to provided resources and non-Christian’s freedom to worship as they please.

Trump sent Vance to campaign for Orban! What the F are you talking about? You lying piece of Shi*! Eunuch!

What a hypocrite!

Censorship is bad? You think you and your Dear Leader should just be able to lie every day without consequence?

You are a complete fool. Worry about the USA backsliding into authoritarian rule. The thin-skinned President is all about censorship. He is celebrating the cancelling of Colbert today, and hoping for more. Billions of dollars are being spent to silence republicans who dare disagree with the 🍊 💩.
You are complicit in the destruction of democracy.

1.8 billion for J6 terrorists from the taxpayers. The country is no longer ruled by Law. The Lawmakers (you) no longer protect the citizens from the Tyrant. You are afraid of the Tyrant.

Grift and corruption as a way of life.

Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[April 27, 2026]

Political violence is not a both sides issue.

No one is buying that anymore.

This is a problem uniquely on the Left.

Mainstream media pundits & elected Democrats are spewing rhetoric demonizing Republicans & seemingly ordinary people are starting to see violence as rational form of action.

[….]

Some of the responses:

The Show me State did poorly with this person getting elected to the Senate.

I am not buying what you are selling.

The data says different. [….]

You do realize we have half a century of data detailing violent political crimes…
And that data says you are wrong.

Except data proves that a majority comes from the right.

State your sources, eliminate your opinions, then you can have a discussion with the voters. That is how this works. Facts matter.

You know we can actually see with our eyes and hear with our ears right?

The delusion is strong in this one

I’ll tell Melissa Hortman

Could we get secure ballrooms in public schools and universities then??? Our children need the most protection!
$400 million could fund the protection of our children!!!

Tell me you haven’t read Trump’s truth social posts, without actually telling me you haven’t read Trump’s truth social posts.

Source: trust me, bro… 😂🤡

We know better. 1/6

Not sure if you are aware who our President is, but please check out some of the things he has said and then get back to me.

The leader of the country regularly targets anyone who opposes him and calls them an enemy of the state. He’s called for violence against democrats numerous times. If you want the rhetoric to stop, the POTUS needs to lead the way. Acting like this is a one sided issue is only making it worse. Stop playing victim. It’s getting old.

You look calm and reassuring…

You couldn’t tell the truth if you had to.

What. It’s an overwhelmingly right wing issue and you know it.

Uh oh, you are really not going to like what the actual data says.
According to the FBI & DHS threat assessments, the primary source of domestic extremist violence in the U.S. for years has been right-wing extremism, particularly white supremacist actors. That’s not spin. That’s their own reporting.
We’re talking roughly 70–80% of politically motivated violence tied to that side depending on the year and dataset. So this “uniquely on the Left” narrative? Not supported by the numbers.
You can dislike that reality all you want. Still doesn’t make it less true.

The data says the opposite.

Interesting how literally all factual information on the topic demonstrates you are wrong…

Maybe the good Senator should hang the 10 Commandments up in his office:
The 9th establishes a moral duty to truthfulness.

Don’t let facts get in the way of your propaganda

Repeating a lie doesn’t make it true.

You’ve got to be joking. Political violence is a “both sides” issue in as much as it has happened on both sides. But if you want to blame one side in particular, statistics show overwhelmingly that the right is the more violent side.

This is a load of crap.

As a senator , how does it feel when you post things and people just laugh at how stupid you sound do you feel like you’re going to be reelected?

Propaganda, lies and gibberish on MAGA scale

Oh FFS!!! Are you for real???

You’re delusional

Good gosh. I think you actually believe yourself. Well, that’s one.

Look at your president’s rhetoric not to mention January 6. The hypocrisy is mind boggling. You’re an idiot.

Gaslight much?

Propagandist Schmitt, your boss called for the murder of Liz Cheney, called for a riot on Jan 6, and rage tweets every single night while normal people are sleeping.

Never met a Fascist conspiracy theory he didn’t like

🚨Happening NOW: my hearing on the Arctic Frost SCANDAL!
We’re releasing new explosive documents that expose this fishing expedition was nothing more than a political agenda targeted at the American Right. Tune in!
[….]

Some of the responses:

Is the scandal in the room with you now?

Heh.

“Artic frost scandal” ??? are for real.?? Get to the bottom of tRumps name being all over the trumpstien files. Stop ignoring compelling evidence that the president of the United States raped kids!!! We already know he has raped women. Not a deal breaker for you immoral morons. Moron is spelled m.a.g.a.

Eric Schmitt is an embarrassment 🤡

You mean the Georgia case where it just came out that the only election fraud in Georgia was Elon the felon 🖕

Someday Republicans will actually do something that actually benefits Americans. Been waiting 47 years…

Keep auditioning for the AG job. Never mind representing the people who elected you, as misguided as they may have been.

This is NOT in service of your constituents.

All show without any facts! He’s all hat no cattle.

Quiet, piggy.

The people of Missouri are suffering under outrageous prices for food and fuel as well as health care insurance and housing. Our infrastructure and education systems are woefully underfunded as we wage an unconstitutional and obscenely expensive war. Then this is what you tell us you are worried about? No sir, no sir, no sir! You need to quit your vanity projects and get to work representing the people of Missouri and the United States as you swore an oath to do. We are waiting and watching for you to act, please do so.

Anything to avoid talking about gas and grocery prices … Good job, cement head.

BS

Are you going to play the tape of Trump asking for 11k votes? Play that one senator!!! Play that one. Dare you. You’re a bootlicking, do nothing lying coward.
