Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The answer is no

[….]
Has The White House Even Said The Word ‘Christian’ Since The Nashville School Shooting?

7:29 PM · Apr 1, 2023

Some of the responses:

Has Missouri’s puny-fisted insurrectionist said ‘AR-15’ even once in the wake of yet another massacre attributal to the NRA’s slaughter machine?
The answer is no.

There’s that.

We. Don’t. Care. Hypocritical. Fake. Christian. Freak.

Democrats are abomination to God

Yeah? Good.

An old bumper sticker:

Probably not actually attributable to Ghandi.

We get the point, though.

I’m not sure, maybe you can ask @POTUS @JoeBiden after he gets out of church.

Ya know, the man who attends each week without fail. When’s the last time you went and just didn’t use it as a prop?

Who fucking cares???

Has he acted more like a Christian than any republican currently holding office? Yes.

Hmm… you know that being a Christian isn’t like signing up for Hulu… just saying you are one doesn’t mean anything… going to church regularly doesn’t do it either.. and our belief one way or the other doesn’t make any difference either..

Using Christianity as a tool of division is pretty pathetic Hawley

What the hell is happening to this country. Isn’t the president a Christian?

Joe Biden (D) [2014 file photo].

Religion has no business in politics…even though Joe is a devout Christian..it doesn’t mean he isn’t one because he didn’t say it after the shooting. Y’all are just grasping at straws. Nothing better to talk about..how about some gun legislation to keep people from getting guns that shouldn’t have them??

How ridiculous Joshy!

Good. Religion doesn’t belong in our government. The founders made that perfectly clear.

This is anti-Catholic bile spewed by the evangelical right.
When will Hawley be real and confirm his permanent address in Virginia?
The answer is probably no.

Even if true (which I doubt), I don’t see the problem. Biden almost certainly hasn’t said, “Scientology” either. As these two sects have precisely the same status in the #Constitution, r u also upset on their account? Guns kill kids in #schoolshooings. That’s all. #GunControlNow

Oops, Hawley lied. The school is a Christian school and as such “Christian” has been mentioned numerous times, including by Biden.
What Hawley is attempting to insinuate is that the White House hasn’t supported Hawley’s false claim of it being a hate crime against Christians. It was a revenge crime, not a hate crime, triggered by the death of a school friend.
I find it sickening that the murder of 6 people, 3 of them 9 year old kids, is being twisted into a false claim for politics. What kind of person uses the murder of children like that?

Revealing…

Says the fist pumping domestic terrorists guy who tried to overturn an election in order to install the thrice philandering, serially lying ‘disciple of Jesus’ who mocked a disabled reporter & bragged about sexually assaulting women.

You’re about as hypocritical as they come.

Has the Republican party agreed to address gun violence and the proliferation of guns in the US. The answer is NO.

Hey Josh the word Christian isn’t mentioned once in the constitution. Is this some magical word that brings them back from death?

President Biden is Catholic , he tries to go to Delaware every weekend to attend Mass with his family, speedy [….]

If he has been baptized and confirmed as a Catholic, then he is. Don’t like it? Deal with it.

And being a Republican or putting it in your Twitter bio certainly doesn’t.

Really wish you showed even one ounce as much energy for the Christians that Dylan Roof slaughtered.

Or, did they not matter to you for some reason?

He’s the first Catholic President of the United States. He doesn’t have to say anything!

Actually, the second.

Please explain your Christian values to me.
[….]

It’s not his job to promote any specific religion. It’s not yours either unless you can find me a passage supporting pandering to evangelicals for cash. [….]

Why does it need to? It’s about the children, the victims, families, staff & the fact the shooter was a former student.

Hate-filled GOP like you, are the ones that work very hard to divide & create fear/hate amongst other Americans.

And that’s great news. Separation of church and state. Go thump your bible somewhere else.

President Biden attends church services regularly –
If you are a true Christian you don’t have to keep announcing it with a bull horn – people know by your character & your deeds.

I don’t recall the Republican Party ever trying so hard to make our Country their church until their savior Trump, the lifelong con, pretended he’s a Christian. Josh the zealot is a blasphemous coward. Anyone who supports his beliefs are hypocritical bigots.

“When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.”

I appreciate a President that understands the principle of separation of church and state. Now go for a run traitor Hawley

Fun fact!! Saying the word Christian doesn’t make you a Christian. Contrary to Republican grift.

That man lives the Christian life every single day. You may go to church, but you preach hate of others. That is not Christian.

Keep your religion out of our government, keep your religion to yourself, it’s up to you. Don’t act like you are a good Christian, Pathetic, insurrectionist! God I guarantee doesn’t like fascism. And most of the world doesn’t!

Because Christians aren’t the only people who live in this country and they sure don’t matter more than others. No hate like Christian love.
[….]

Have you said anything about passing common sense gun laws to stop the increase of mass shootings?

Why would he need to? It was a Christian raised past student shooting their Christian school. You all are so desperate to be oppressed and it’s really sad.

Nothing says Christian better than Republicans not voting for a better gun law bill to help keep our kids safe. And you call yourself pro life.

The important word is child. Yes, the children were Christians, but being Christian does not mean their lives were more precious that other children that were killed. If you are a Christian you should know this. Instead, you sound as if you are trying to make political hay out of a tragedy.

Josh, you are such a fraud so that you can lure the ignorant trump rubes in to support you. You know that the constitution provides for the separation of church and state. But you’re just pandering to the rubes.

Whatever for?

SQUIRREL

No one fucking cares, Josh.

Who cares?? The USA is filled with humans that worship differently, they aren’t Christian’s & that’s okay. Why don’t you mind your own business with regard to your evangelical insanity and stop trying to push your evangelical white nationalist fascist dictator agenda in a democratic republic? The USA majority is not interested in your clown show.

JESUS, god almighty, JOSH, we know you’re not just a christian, but a white evangelical nationalist, the core insects of MAGA and the fomenters of the J-6 insurrection. Remember your solidarity with the traitors and then run from them. You’re such a twit

So you’re splitting hairs about the word Christian instead of actually finding solutions to gun violence. The gun violence that’s the leading cause of death for children in this country.

Stuck on the word Christian instead of the loss of six lives….you care more about the label then the lives lost….you’re in a cult….

Hawley, don’t be such a dick-head. First of all, there has been no motive establishing the intent behind the killer’s massacre was to kill Christians. nor was there a manifesto left behind by the killer indicating the same. So, what’s your idiotic point?
Previously you were trying to convince the public that the killings should be described as “hate crimes”. Why, where’s the connection?

You look familiar. Are you the cowardly traitor who supported the insurrectionists, then had to run for your life from the insurrectionists?

Tell us you didn’t get vaccinated and you don’t ever wear a mask without telling us that you didn’t get vaccinated and you don’t ever wear a mask:

Midwestern values.

We do blame you.

This is not something one should brag about.

Today – on a vehicle in west central Missouri:

“Treat People With Kindness”

Yesterday – from a member of the right wingnut majority in the Missouri General Assembly:

Sara Walsh [r], State Representative
Today, I voted NO on Medicaid expansion (HB 20). The bill failed 20 to 9. This is a MASSIVE expansion of welfare. HB 20 is a $1.8 BILLION dollar bill in Fiscal Year 2022 alone. We MUST make wise decisions today so we don’t leave a nightmare for future generations of Missourians once Federal funds dry up. It is not the will of the people to bankrupt the state, ultimately drastically increase taxes (once Federal funds dry up) or to put able-bodied adults at the front of the line ahead of individuals with disabilities, seniors and children. House Budget Chair Cody Smith plans on filing HB 21 tomorrow, which the House Budget Committee will take up the week after next. It will include some of the funding in HB 20 to help the most vulnerable Missourians.

A few of the comments:

So the will of the people of MO means nothing to you…got it! Why do Republicans hate democracy so much these days???

So, you and 19 other “representatives” voted against what the majority of Missourians wanted?
And…you think that you should be proud of that? You’re giving out misinformation to strike fear in the people who don’t actually understand how the funding works to garner support. It’s dishonest…but I’m not surprised.

Sara, you can pout and pander to your “all govt. is bad, down with all govt.” base all you want. Medicaid expansion is part of the MO constitution as of last August whether you vote to fund it or not. You are wasting everyone’s time and will eventually, no doubt, waste a courtroom’s time with this obstinance.

Your rationale is false and misleading, both about the finances and about the will of the people. The Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) and the Brown School of Public Health at WashU studied this extensively, and showed huge financial benefits in both the near term ($38 million saved in Year 1) and in the long term (up to $1 billion per year by Year 5).
Second, we the people already voted for Medicaid expansion in August 2020.
DO. YOUR. JOB.

Oh awesome. Voters say one thing but clearly you know better.

It’s amazing how thick headed your part is in this state. I guarantee you vote for the next TAX CUT proposed by your party but then complain about the cost of things?
You and your entire political party make me want to vomit.
“It is not the will of the people to bankrupt the state”
And yet just a little over a year ago the Missouri GOP (your people) wanted to give Boeing a TWO BILLION DOLLAR TAX BREAK to bring 191 jobs here that would have never in a million years made up for that loss of income. That’s MORE than the amount you have listed here and your party was completely fine with throwing that money away. Until the GOP of this state stop giving away money left and right to the rich like Rex Sinquefield you have no room to complain or whine about the cost of things which are LESS than the cost of things your party will pass without blinking an eye. That last quarter billion dollar tax break was paid for by jacking DMV fees happen to remember that giveaway?
If we are so broke we can’t take care of our own people there should never again be the word TAX CUT mentioned in the Missouri Senate. For any reason. EVER.

You are an idiot. You just turned down $1.5 billion in Federal money that could have ensured healthy lives for your constituents. The state loses a ton of tax revenue and increases their welfare expenses every time a person becomes disabled, and thousands of people each year become disabled because they don’t have access to preventative medicine or therapy. Expanding Medicare is a short-term expense that creates long-term benefits, like any other infrastructure investment.
Or do you not see human beings as valuable enough to invest in?
Don’t EVER try to call yourself “pro-life” after you voted this way.

Republicans have decided to go full fascist on us. We voted to clean up our elections. The next election the Republicans put forth a misleading bill to overthrow the will of the people. We voted for Medical Marijuana. Republicans opposed it, then when it passed they have slow walked it and used the process to reward their friends with licenses to grow, distribute, and sell at dispensaries. This is now under investigation. They lost an election and they tried to take over by violent insurrection. We voted to expand medicaid. Now Republicans are blocking us from getting it, once again. Maybe we should drop your pay to minimum wage rate and take away any benefits such as healthcare. You have no problem with others having no insurance or a living wage. What a useless, unqualified, piece of human waste. Typical Republican and a racist to boot. You actually said that voters in urban and suburban neighborhoods should not count. Now since you realize you can’t win a majority of votes in an election you are pursuing drastic voter suppression efforts here in Missouri and throughout the country in red states. I don’t consider you an American. You are anti American and a Fascist. I hope you like the cesspool you lay in.

Way to ignore the voters’ will. You are a disgrace. Crawl back to the backwoods.

Apparently, for Sara Walsh (r), the Missouri Constitution is aspirational, just not in our lifetimes.

IV Section 36(c). MO HealthNet expansion — eligibility — state plan amendments — maximization of federal participation — limitation on burdens or restrictions. — 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, beginning July 1, 2021, individuals nineteen years of age or older and under sixty-five years of age who qualify for MO HealthNet services under 42 U.S.C.

Section 1396a(e)(14) and as set forth in 42 C.F.R. 435.603, shall be eligible for medical assistance under MO HealthNet and shall receive coverage for the health benefits service package.

  2. For purposes of this section “health benefits service package” shall mean benefits covered by the MO HealthNet program as determined by the department of social services to meet the benchmark or benchmark-equivalent coverage requirement under 42 U.S.C. Section 1396a(k)(1) and any implementing regulations.

  3. No later than March 1, 2021, the Department of Social Services and the MO HealthNet Division shall submit all state plan amendments necessary to implement this section to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

  4. The Department of Social Services and the MO HealthNet Division shall take all actions necessary to maximize federal financial participation in funding medical assistance pursuant to this section.

  6. All references to federal or state statutes, regulations or rules in this section shall be to the version of those statutes, regulations or rules that existed on January 1, 2019.

(Adopted August 4, 2020)

How inconvenient.

Does that make other parts of the Missouri Constitution optional, too? Just asking.
