When I tweet about #antisemitism the replies are almost as vile as when I tweet about #gunsense

Maybe they should start keeping your foreskins on. Man you guys are pu$$ies. Why can’t you take any criticism? You do realize there are scumbags, liars, thieves and and all around shitty people in the tribe, too, right?
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. – Martin Niemöller
Believe people when they show us what they are.

They tried to overthrow the government to stay in power. They didn’t care who had to die to get them what they wanted.
Anyone who tells you this is a distraction is hoping to distract you from an ongoing attempt to destroy democracy and grab power for themselves. 8:56 AM · Jun 10, 2022

If you’re an American politician who has opposed gun reforms these past few years and right now you’re having doubts, thinking maybe these kids deaths could have been prevented, maybe you’re somehow responsible, allow me to help.
Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Back when you were in the legislature you were relevant.
Jason Kander @JasonKander
When we were in the legislature together, Eric – a corporate attorney from the suburbs – used to make fun of me for wearing cowboy boots. [….]
Most of us are not in the legislature, are we also irrelevant?
He literally has 10 times the twitter followers you do LMAOOOOOO
And Jason’s are even actual people…
This isn’t the burn you think it is.
I’m sure that veterans who have homes because of Jason Kander believe Kander is relevant & doing important work. People who are feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, taking care of the sick, & teaching kids are important. You aren’t helping people & you know that.

Eric, I genuinely hope for you that you get to a place where that word means to you what it means to me. 6:27 AM · Mar 29, 2022

@Eric_Schmitt told a veteran doing this work he’s no longer relevant. [….]
You’ve got to be kidding! While Kander is working every day to support homeless veterans, you spend your time and our tax dollars filing frivolous lawsuits. Talk about irrelevant.
He’s… running a charity for veterans.
And you’re suing schools to help yourself get more famous..
He does more for veterans than you’ve done for Missouri, so I don’t think you want to pull at this particular cape…
If “being in legislature” is your measuring stick for relevancy, you have a lot to learn, kid.
He builds houses for veterans. Why do you hate that people help veterans?
It’s genuinely hard to tell which state has the most loathsome Republican Party, but Missouri is always high on the list.
Hey Schmitt, instead of picking fights on Twitter, maybe do your job for once?
I’ve heard of Jason Kander.
You’re trailing the guy who stole from his Veteran’s charity and you thought this was the appropriate move. Your campaign manager must think you’re a real genius.
imagine being a state attorney general and having nothing better to do at 11:43pm on a monday than bash a veteran on twitter
Lol. The lack of self awareness from Schmitt is astounding.
This is Eric Schmitt’s idea of irrelevant: A veteran working for the mental health of fellow veterans.
You’re a bad punchline. What have you done for Missouri?
Really hard to put your finger on why your polling numbers suck, isn’t it. Life’s a mystery sometimes.
What a sad little man you are.
This is not the snappy retort you think it is. You’ve only proven yourself to be a bigger douche than most thought you already were.
Eric Schmitt thought his Tweet was a good idea. Ponder that for a brief moment.
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
Stephen Miller @StephenM
One reason the # of Afghans is so high is that people are bringing their entire extended families, regardless of whether anyone meaningfully aided war effort or faces a particularized threat. Perception of an unrestricted policy surely helped drive oversized crowds to airport.
[….] 12:00 PM · Aug 28, 2021
Because extended families never matter?
Asshole.

You’re a big part of the reason good deserving people who actually fought for their country and ours never got their SIVs and are hiding from the Taliban with little chance to escape.
I personally have two dozen Afghans stuck there. I’d happily trade you for any one of them. 1:35 PM · Aug 28, 2021

I was once a statewide elected official who aspired to be a United States Senator. It’s no longer what I want, but there was a time when I wanted it badly.
I was even suffering from an undiagnosed, untreated psychological disorder at the time.

For context: I know Eric, and I know he doesn’t believe any of this crap. 11:17 AM · Aug 20, 2021
Some of the responses:
Which IMHO it is worse. He’s willing to put people in harm’s way not because he believes something that is false or harmful but because it is the way to win an election. Willing to weaponize this rhetoric for his own gain. Sick
The voters he and other Rs are courting are fed a constant stream of propaganda that is becoming more and more unhinged. Anger that’s been stoked over masks/vaccines/basic public health are rising and will spill over into violence. This shit is wildly irresponsible.
He’s got to out-pander Greitens if he wants to get into the Senate.
Do the ones who know better actually feel no sense of responsibility for highly-likely serious and deadly consequences of their purposeful misdirection?
No. Ths has been another edition of short answers to simple questions.
The fact that he will say this crap and it will actually EARN him votes is then not only dangerous and disgusting, but disingenuous. A little honesty, integrity and love for one’s family and neighbors goes a long way. At least it should.
That’s the scary part. These performative culture war outbursts are getting people killed.
