Last night, in the U.S. House of Representatives:

[emphasis added]

Shortly thereafter, via Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Disappointed the Democrats missed an opportunity to work on a real solution for #immigration by voting on poorly written bill that provides amnesty to potentially 2.5M who have broken our laws and many of whom have criminal records. Looking forward to working on #RealSolutions.
7:08 PM – 4 Jun 2019

Some of the responses:

Disappointed that Republicans had control of both houses of Congress for 2 years and showed zero interest in fixing the issue.

Broken our laws?

You mean like the Trump official ignoring subpoenas?

Silly —laws only apply to poor people!

“Fixing immigration is easy.”

Vicky Vicky Vicky the Republicans held all 3 branches of government for the past 2 years. Stop blaming everyone else.

Speaking of foreign issues, what are you doing to stop foreign entities from purchasing Missouri soil?

Says the Congresswoman who won’t even meet her constituents face-to-face.

Also in regards to breaking the law isn’t the President of the United States, a unindicted co conspirator in a campaign finance violation case in SDNY, ” Individual Number one?”

First, seeking asylum is not illegal. Second, children brought into the the country by their parents have not acted illegally.

These are the groups that would receive legal status–children and refugees.

Your willingness to spread lies and fuel hate makes you unfit to serve.

Ah, those stubborn facts.

So what is your real solutions. Spill it! You can’t declare, real solutions, if you have none.

Why are you lying? Dreamers didn’t break the law, that is the whole point. And you can’t be DACA if you committed crimes. Liar.

DREAMERS didn’t break the law and you can’t be a DACA recipient with a criminal record. You’re telling horrifically xenophobic lies here.

I cannot wait to work to get you voted out of office and I’m consistently amazed at how low you will sink. BE BETTER, @RepHartzler.

I’m sure #MO4 can do better than to reelect you, Rep Hartzler.

Your party had complete and utter control of all the levers of govt for two years and you did NOTHING. Now you go back to your safe space of just blaming the Dems for everything. Pathetic. Why do we even pay you?

Speaking of breaking laws, Vicky have you read the Mueller report!

They’re not buying it.

In the news:

Trump says U.S. farmers to get $15 billion in aid amid China trade war

…American farmers, a key constituency of Trump, have been among the hardest hit in the trade war. Soybeans are the most valuable U.S. farm export, and shipments to China dropped to a 16-year low in 2018, while soybean futures prices last week fell this week to 11-year lows…

Also today:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
With planting season underway, I visited with members of @MoFarmBureau to discuss how things are looking for the year, especially with the impact of recent flooding. #MOfarmers are resilient! As a lifelong farmer, it was an honor to be presented the Friend of Farm Bureau Award!
[….]
4:07 PM – 13 May 2019

Some of the responses:

And you promised them that they’re going to get their socialist money from @realdonaldtrump, right?

Meetings with Farm Bureau this year — 5.

Town hall with constituents—0.

Hopefully Missouri’s farmers were able to consider the recently announced tariffs by China prior to planting their crop. Otherwise, they’ll be reliant on makeshift silos to store their crops they’re unable to sell and taxpayer funded bailouts to support DJT’s trade war.

#DrunkUncleDonald #TraitorTrump #VoteThemOut #PutinsGOP And what Exactly do You do for farmers? Spreading the lie of tax cuts and tariffs? Did you tell them the truth about China won’t buy their goods because they Own us?
The Second Great Depression coming up. #PutinsGOP

Meta.

If you’re reading this you’re probably not aware (judging by the site statistics) that we spent the past weekend on an Iowa road trip, covering two out of three 2020 presidential campaign events we intended to cover (sometimes the concession to cold weather, a blocks long walk with a load of equipment, and the fact that we’re not getting any younger weigh more than getting just a few more images).

Back to the beginning. Once Democratic Party candidates started announcing that they were running or their intention to run for President (and traveling) we started contacting campaigns – not as easy as you might think – so we could receive media notices. We’re a four hour drive from Iowa’s largest city and in past years, dating back to 2007, had regularly covered the Harkin Steak Fry (look it up in our archives) in Indianola. They’re all going to be in Iowa more than once before 2020, so why not?

If history is any indication, it’s a mixed bag. In 2008 and 2012 we managed to cover what we could in Missouri and surrounding states as we received notices. In the 2016 cycle, by the time the two major candidates in the Democratic Party primary finally started sending us media notices the Iowa caucus was long over.

So, we’ve sent requests for media notices (again, it’s not always easy to find out the “to who” part) and have started to receive them. At present six of the campaigns are sending us media notices. It’s like trying to sip from a firehouse. We’ve yet to receive notices or responses from a number of other campaigns. That’s okay – it’s either a result of our failure to contact the right person or their choice.

The dynamics of the two different candidate town hall events we covered this past weekend were very similar to the constituent town halls we covered in Missouri when Claire McCaskill (D) was still a senator. At least the later ones.

There’s a meeting room in a small town with the space to seat a hundred, maybe more, interested people. Media shows up early – well, we do. We check in and may ask a few logistics questions. The lighting can be adequate or stellar. We always mumble to ourselves about the light. There’s a portable sound system that the candidate may or may not use. The interested crowd gathers, may visit, and gets seated. The candidate is usually behind schedule (that’s normal).

Then the candidate makes remarks, takes questions from the audience, finishes speaking, and, in this age of smart phones and social media, remains for a few minutes to pose with attendees for selfies.

There may or may not be a press availability. It depends on the candidate schedule and other factors. We’re a Z-list blog.

After the event is done then it’s a matter of us downloading, processing, and choosing photos; downloading audio; transcribing audio portions; and then writing and posting the story.

We’ll take anywhere from 500 to 1500 images at an event. The audio recordings (two sources) can run up to an hour of content.

So, why bother? It’s why we exist. And for the same reasons. Old media (not so much individuals) does such a poor job. There aren’t enough people covering the content details of these events. Not that some corporate entities in the game have a lack of resources. We’re comparatively cost efficient – we try, but we’re pedaling as fast as we can.

Iowa. Why do we invest so much importance in the “first in the nation caucus”? Well caucuses are democratic and anti-democratic. You show up, stand your ground, and choose your candidate. Unless you’re a working person who can’t take off for those particular two or so hours on that day. Old media needs an answer and a narrative, and they need it quick. That’s their failing. And, there’s the matter of a diverse population in a diverse state anointing a candidate for a diverse nation.

We see that you’ve never been to Iowa.

You believe presidential campaigns start too early and take too long? We attribute that to your laziness and sense of entitlement.

There are a number of publicly spirited, intelligent, and immensely talented, experienced individuals running for President. There are others doing so who are none of the above. How are we all going to tell the difference if they’re not meeting with voters in small groups from state to state over the period of time from now to the Fall 2020 election?

Also, Donald Trump (r). I rest my case.

It is our impression that the Iowa voters who attend these events to vet candidates and who participate in the caucuses take their responsibilities very seriously. Would you want unengaged morons doing this instead? Of course, there are no guarantees that they’ll get it right in 2020. With a single exception (a right wingnut Bret Kavanaugh supporter) the Iowans we watched participate this weekend were cheerful, thoughtful, engaged, and polite.

And, if we are to judge the entire Democratic Party field of candidates from the two campaign events we witnessed this weekend we’ll be in the good hands of an experienced, intelligent, and compassionate nominee in 2020 who believes in doing the best for all Americans.

Reporter: “Where does [this candidate] stand with you?” Iowan: “Oh, they’re on my top twenty list.”

Welcome to Iowa.

Yesterday, via Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Does Pelosi really believe that Rep. Omar’s statements are anti-Semitic? This weekend she blithely promoted their shared cover on @RollingStone while Omar was doubling down that supporters of Israel “push for allegiance to a foreign country.”
[….]
4:01 PM – 4 Mar 2019 from Washington, DC

Stone throwing.

A few of the comments:

Rep. Hartzler, do you believe Obama is a US citizen? Did you condemn Republicans who said he wasn’t? I never remember you commenting on that issue. Did you?

She did comment on the issue (see below).

Do Republicans really believe all that was said in the 2hr TPAC speech yesterday? #GOP double standards

Do @SteveKingIA next.

Qui tacet consentire videtur.

You’re arguing in bad faith.

“MY BLIND LOYALTY IS THE ONLY BLIND LOYALTY ALLOWED. ALL OTHER BLIND LOYALTY IS REPREHENSIBLE!” -@RepHartzler probably

People who aren’t influenced by $$ or brainwashed by cable news agree with Ilhan. Sorry you have a problem with people actually doing their jobs, criticizing our gov instead of blithely promoting foreign propaganda all the damn time.

Do @Jim_Jordan next

Qui tacet consentire videtur.

Look forward to your tweet condemning @Jim_Jordan, next.

You guys really do live in the glassiest of glass houses, don’t you? [….]

Does Hartzler believe that @SteveKingIA and @realDonaldTrump had said many racist statements. Remember Charlottesville chanters, “Jews will not replace us?” Trump they were fine people. You’re a hypocrite!

“Rep. Hartzler, do you believe Obama is a US citizen? Did you condemn Republicans who said he wasn’t? I never remember you commenting on that issue. Did you?”

We remember:

Obama Birth Certificate: Missouri Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler Expresses Doubt
By John Celock

A congresswoman from Missouri expressed doubt over Obama’s birth certificate, becoming the second Republican elected official this week to make comments sympathetic to the birther movement.

U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler answered a question about Obama’s birth certificate from a man who identified himself as a veteran during a town hall meeting Thursday. Hartzler — who was filmed by the group Show Me Progress — said she had doubts and asked why Obama did not release his birth certificate sooner….

Hiding behind a telephone.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2018 file photo].

Today, via Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
This Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 6pm CT, I will be hosting a live, interactive event. My
constituents will be able to ask questions and speak with me about issues important to them. Dial [….], or stream it online when the event begins:
[….]
9:00 AM – 22 Feb 2019

Some of the comments:

Why don’t you have a real face-to-face townhall? Are you afraid to meet unscrewed constituents?

Correction: @VickiHartzler is holding a virtual town hall for republican constituents. Democrats are welcome to give extra questions to the call screeners, they will be permitted maybe if time allows.

Could you please clarify on the format?

Will you be pre-screening the questions? Because that’s not the same as addressing the issues of your constituents in a live format.

You don’t take questions from people you haven’t vetted. How are people who disagree with you supposed to communicate?

A virtual Town Hall is the GOP equivalent of ear plugs.

Yep been there done that many times but yet never have been allowed to speak or ask any questions. This is a cowards way out of a real town hall meeting.

And, some of the responses to the same announcement on Facebook:

This is a cop-out, Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler. You control what questions are asked, so you can give us someone else’s answers. How about an in-person #townhall? You’ve got plenty of time for photo-ops, now make time for your constituents!

Why are you so afraid to meet your constituents face to face? These fake town halls are a cop out. Shameful and undemocratic.

Been there, done that multiple times but never been allowed to ask a question. They are a waste of time, you and your staff select the questions.

Can’t make it too hard for her, you know….

Yes she is a delicate flower of sorts.

Same here…tried many times. Waste of time, unless you are one of her chosen few (and those few are getting fewer and fewer since her M.O. is becoming more common knowledge).

Perhaps you will actually come back and have real town halls in front of your constituents. This is just another opportunity for you to hand pick questions from people that support you. The last time you did one of these, every question was from a Republican.

I have never been allowed to ask a question. How about an actual in person town hall? You screen the phone questions so you don’t have to think.

That’s not a townhall, Vicki. Show up like you’re not afraid of getting talked at. You need to hear what people have to say.

I am working. But I would like a list of bipartisan bills you are working on. We need to get out of our political corners, openly listen to each other and be willing to compromise. I am unaware of this happening in your case. Please let me know. Thank you.

Not gonna happen.

Totally alienated at this point; no hope left for consideration or constituent advocacy.

Nobody cares about your goofy choreographed “talks.”

Screened calls.

It’s really something how you make your job sound like a favor, “my constituents will be able to ask questions and speak with me about issues that are important to them”. That should have been your victory speech not an isolated and controlled situation.
Your job is to work for us but your photos show you are only loyal to your pocket.

I participate in most of these, but all the questions are screened, so if you ask something she doesn’t want to talk about then you don’t actually have the opportunity to ask about topics that are important to you….

She’s afraid she can’t be poised under fire.

Will it be the same old platform with you? Preapproved questions Limited responses from you that are either abstract or blatant lies? When you do so will you prevent people from asking for clarification and the truth? It’s not a “conversation” if you control every facet of the “event” It’s a sham a lie, and a propaganda mill. So,? What will it be, Vics? Genuine conversation, with care, concern, and factual information, or the same old controlled, FAKE, “conversation?” Are you too Frightened? Dishonest? Unknowledgeable for a free exchange?

My bet is on the same old cowardice from you.

When will you meet your constituents in person, Vicky?

Don’t you mean your pre-selected constituants?

They ain’t buying it.

Vicky Hartzler (r), August 25, 2010:

…My campaign has set aside Friday afternoons through October 22 and has called on media outlets and civic organizations to schedule forums in which the two candidates could state their views and take questions from citizens…

That was then, this is now.

Apparently Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) now believes that Renee Hoagenson’s (D) campaign is “bullying” her by doing what Vicky Hartzler’s (r) campaign did in 2010. Chutzpah. And Karma. And a belief that no one anywhere has any memory that goes back longer than ten minutes.

Renee Hoagenson (D) and her campaign found a few open dates, booked the venues, and publicized a willingness to engage in debates at those dates, times, and locations in the district. Vicky Hartzler’s campaign expressed their outrage at the impudence.

Yesterday in Belton, at one of the days and venues scheduled by Renee Hoagenson’s (D) campaign, Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) was a no show (Is anyone surprised?) – so Renee Hoagenson held an open public town hall. Over sixty voters showed up, along with media – the local paper and Show Me Progress.

Renee Hoagenson (D) – Belton, Missouri – September 18, 2018

The town hall with Renee Hoagenson (D) (and with Vicky Hartzler’s (r) absence) started at 7:00 p.m. and went past 8:30 p.m. Renee Hoagenson addressed written questions submitted by those in attendance and engaged in give and take with the audience. All of this open discussions included follow-ups.

The voters in attendance asked questions and provided their opinions on education, the budget, the deficit, the economy, access to affordable health care, campaign finance reform, term limits, agriculture (the farm bill), student loans, the military budget, and more.

After the “formal” portion of the town hall Renee Hoagenson (D) remained to greet and speak with any individuals who were so inclined.

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): count those chickens

From someone who can’t be bothered to hold any open public town halls in her district.

Today:

Five GOP lawmakers mulling bid to lead conservative caucus
By Scott Wong – 07/14/18 12:43 PM EDT

Early jockeying has begun in the race for chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee — the largest caucus on Capitol Hill, and one that has seen its influence grow with President Trump in the White House.

[….]

Asked if she’s interested in running, Hartzler, a conservative Christian, replied: “I’m praying on it.”

Her Missouri GOP colleague, Rep. Ann Wagner, is among those encouraging Hartzler, who chairs the Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, to jump in the race.

“She’s a very active member of the RSC,” Wagner told The Hill. “She’s a solid conservative. And I would certainly love to see a woman like Vicky head up the RSC.”

“That would be an excellent dynamic and I think Vicky would be well-suited for that position,” Wagner added.

[….]

Uh, there’s a primary election in August and general election in November 2018 first, right?

If you’re afraid to face all of your constituents what would make you think you could lead in Congress? Oh, right, my mistake – IOKIYAR*.

* it’s okay if you’re a republican

“…In Vicky’s telephone town hall, she saw no problem with the tuition waivers being taxed…”

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

This morning, via Facebook:

Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler
Only six days away from the new year… Win #6 in the #TaxCutsAndJobsAct is that it kept tax benefits Americans count on, like the adoption tax credit and tax-free graduate tuition waivers.
[….]

Some of the replies:

[….] Democrats didn’t vote for $1.5 trillion in debt. Democrats will work to stop Vicky Hartzler from stealing our Social Security and Medicare.

I voted for the Congresswoman because she ran on cutting the deficit. She betrayed my vote by voting to increase said deficit by over a trillion.

Your mistake.

[….] I don’t care what Obama did. I didn’t vote for him. I voted for a congresswoman who ran on reducing the debt. However increasing the deficit by permanently reducing taxes on the extremely wealthy and reducing incentives for charitable donations will impact our district for generations.

Still your mistake for buying in.

Big loss for the country . Big loss for taxpayers next November big loss for Hartzler.

In Vicky’s telephone town hall, she saw no problem with the tuition waivers being taxed.

So now that you’ve raised my taxes to give car dealerships a big break will you answer my questions about Medicare cuts

Exactly. What part of my Medicare will you be taking Vicky?

shame

Liar!!!

How tragic it is to have such a disingenuous Congressperson selling out We The People.

Yes just what are country needs- More income inequality. Congrats to all the millionaires and billionaires, “You’re about to become a lot richer” Donald J Trump said to his rich guests in the dining room at Mara Largo! #GOPTaxScamBill

How about that trickle down?

Today from Josh Hawley (r), via Twitter:

Josh Hawley‏ @HawleyMO
On the eve of @clairecmc’s 50th town hall, Missouri families need to know about her 50 worst votes for higher taxes: [….] #mosen
9:43 AM – 15 Dec 2017

Some of the responses:

Well at least Missourians see her at public meetings instead of the wine aisle on a Friday afternoon, only public place you’re seen.

You may not want to mention how many town halls @clairecmc has held. MO repubs don’t have a great track record in that department.

Why haven’t you filed anything to save #NetNeutrality? Why are you refusing to investigate the governor’s violation of records laws? Why are you already running for higher office after you swore you weren’t just another politician climbing the ladder? Maybe you need a town hall.

Lol you are going to get crushed and I cannot wait.

LOL…Blunt is nowhere to be seen, Greitens is dismantling public education, and you turn your head while all of it happens in our state. Keep up the good work, @clairecmc! Thank you for looking out for Missourians.

Is that what is known as constructive criticism by the Greedy Old Party ??

Speaking of transparency, when are you and EricG going to publish your donor lists. You sound Koch-ish, no?

Really?! I can’t EVEN deal with you today. Why don’t YOU put yourself out there and talk to Missourians instead of having Chocolate Milk with @EricGreitens and @realDonaldTrump

Why does any of this matter to the Attorney General exactly?

I thought you said you weren’t gonna climb ladders like a career politician?

At least she isn’t afraid to meet people and make her case. You hide in Jefferson City…oh wait, do you actually illegally live in Columbia still? Hard to keep track of your lies these days.

Maybe you should do a townhall before you start the negative campaigning

You mean she’s out on there listening and talking to her constituents??? Sounds like a good Senator to me.

And if you had her seat right now you’d vote for the monstrous tax bill that raids the Treasury to shovel more wealth at the rich. You’d probably also vote to cut Social Security and Medicare. No thanks, I’ll vote McCaskill.

So that’s 50 more town halls than you’ve done? Still endorsing pedophile Moore for Senate?

Josh, why are you avoiding the public like a craven coward?

Thwack.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

Today, from Representative Vicky Hartzler (r), via Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler‏ @RepHartzler
It was an honor to speak on behalf of religious freedom and Masterpiece Cake Shop’s Jack Phillips this morning at the #SCOTUS #JusticeforJack rally.
[….]
8:39 AM – 5 Dec 2017

Nice touch there, using an image of Martin Luther King, Jr. to promote bigotry.

And, of course, some of the responses do not disappoint:

I love her thoughtful, heartfelt canned auto replys…makes me feel so special & I know my voice is being heard! #sarcasm

You’re the worst Vicky Hartzler.

In which Rep Hartzler spends more time trying to legalize discrimination than she does having face-to-face meetings with her constituents.

You are a comically terrible representative for Missouri.

It would be great if you spent half as much time championing the Missourians you theoretically work for as you do a baker in Colorado.

How sad that you feel honored to defend hate! Your hate is not based on the teachings of Jesus. Sad.

You must not be a biblical scholar. It’s all there in the book of Republicanonican

I am. However, I thought this hate is found in the book of Midas. You know the one that says “blessed are the rich for they are rich and job givers and have paid their way into heaven.”

omg they’re using mlk to support discrimination i am screaming

Are you kidding me???

Yeah, we noticed that, too.

Don’t you dare use MLK’s photo in this bullshit.

A bigot surrounded by bigots. This is unamerican.

You’re Free to practice your religion but NOT to impose your religion on society [….]

1) your constituents are in MO-4
2) why do you support bigotry?

We get it, you’re a bigot.

Your bio says ‘serve the hardworking Missourians’. But just the straight ones, right?

It was an honor to be a bigot? Because that’s exactly what you are.

Vile woman.

I’ve got a new campaign slogan for you– Homophobic Hater Hartzler from Harrisonville! Why don’t you spend your time helping fellow Missourians instead of a gay hater in Colorado? I really resent you spending my tax dollars this way. You truly sicken me!!! NO Vicky in 2018

And Jesus wept! Do you support all religious freedoms or only those of Christianity? America is not just a Christian nation. Freedom of Religion is for all religions or those that choose not to believe.

Bigot!

It would be even better if you learned how to give a shit about America being destroyed from within by a Kremlin Puppet. But nooooo, gotta keep those fake Christian values front & center.

My other question is why are you out there with a homophobe when you should be at your job trying to help fix the tax bill?

Good question, but you didn’t really need to ask to get an answer.
