Thank you to everyone who turned out for today’s press conference announcing my candidacy for U.S. Congress in the Fourth Congressional District.
Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are trying to adopt socialist policies that would lead to the decline of America. In less than a year, they have done so much that has weakened our country, and I truly fear that if they are not stopped our children and grandchildren will not have the same freedom to pursue the American Dream that we have enjoyed.
I am running for Congress because I believe we need to elect conservatives who will stand up and put America First. We need to secure our border, hold China accountable for dishonest trade practices – including outright theft of American intellectual property – and for their cyber warfare against our nation, and stop liberals from using CRT and other ‘woke’ policies to brainwash our children into hating America. This is the greatest country in the world, and it is worth fighting like heck to save.
The heck you say.
By the way, Rick, what is CRT? Have you identified a single school district in Missouri where this CRT indoctrination is taking place?
Today, from a campaign account [“Christian. Wife. Mother. Life-Long Conservative. U.S. Congresswoman. Sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party. Running for #MOSEN.”]:
Vicky Hartzler @VickyHartzlerMO
Don’t let the woke mob control where we can eat!
Chick-fil-a was dropped from the new Kansas City Airport Terminal after the woke mob cried fowl and stirred up controversy.
Sign the petition and tell the Kansas City Airport that we want Chick-fil-a!

The continuous outrage. Sigh.
Define “woke”. Does that include two all beef patties? Just asking.
As always, there is much hilarity in the responses:
CF always says this lie. Truth who puts a restaurant into an airport that refuses to be open on what is often the heaviest travel day of the week?
Airports wants them open 7 days a week but they refuse. Other brands do 24/7 so other brands get the contract.
Define “woke mob.” Are you referring to your constituents, Missouri voters as the *mob? There’s no more tolerance for hatred Vicky.
#LGBTQIAwesome
Rofl. This is nothing but a click-bait phishing exhibition for campaign donations and voter contact info. In other words, another GOP fundraising scam.
How shocking. A pro-hate Republican defending a pro-hate restaurant chain.
Good lord you’re an imbecile. Your party does alot more canceling and boycotting than moderates and liberals combined you pathetic imbecile.
We stand at a critical juncture of the history of the United States of America, a distinct division of paths, and steep precipice of danger. The choices and decisions we soon make as a nation will determine which path we go down and whether we fall to our collective destruction or maintain the integrity and strength of our Union.
435 men and women are the voices of the people who comprise this great land. Each congressional district, represented by a fellow citizen of their state, duly elected to be a voice in Washington D.C. for the people. Each district is due the strongest voice they can elect who represents their will and their beliefs.
I am that strongest voice for the 4th Congressional District of the State of Missouri.
My voice has informed, influenced, and inspired millions of people during my tenure as a television news anchor. My voice has been on live TV for more than 23,000 hours. My voice has helped raise millions of dollars for charities both locally and nationally. My voice has served boards, foundations, churches, civic organizations, families, and strangers.
My voice has been just that, “My” voice. Now I want to be YOUR voice, representing your values and your beliefs, I want to represent YOU as the next Congressman for the 4th District of Missouri.
“We stand at a critical juncture of the history of the United States of America, a distinct division of paths, and steep precipice of danger…”
There was a mob in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 which breached the Capitol and smeared feces on the walls, among other acts of sedition.
“…The choices and decisions we soon make as a nation will determine which path we go down and whether we fall to our collective destruction or maintain the integrity and strength of our Union…”
Too late. The nations’s wealth has already been redistributed to the top one percent.
“…435 men and women are the voices of the people who comprise this great land. Each congressional district, represented by a fellow citizen of their state, duly elected to be a voice in Washington D.C. for the people. Each district is due the strongest voice they can elect who represents their will and their beliefs…”
That’s all well and good. This reads like it was taken from one of your fifth grade government essays cribbed together after you’d slept through a week of class.
“…I am that strongest voice for the 4th Congressional District of the State of Missouri…”
That’s debatable, especially without unlimited campaign funds.
“…My voice has informed, influenced, and inspired millions of people during my tenure as a television news anchor. My voice has been on live TV for more than 23,000 hours…”
“…My voice has helped raise millions of dollars for charities both locally and nationally. My voice has served boards, foundations, churches, civic organizations, families, and strangers…”
And on the 23,001st hour, he rested.
Second question: Do you currently live in the 4th Congressional District?
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Senator Hawley is right: Radical ideologies such as #CRT have no place in our schools.
Biden’s Department of Justice must stop weaponizing themselves against America’s parents who are looking out for the best interests of their children.
[….] 1:57 PM · Oct 5, 2021
“…Ideologies…”
Some of the responses:
Thank for revealing your support for intimidating, harassing, and threatening school board members.
Where in your district is CRT taught?
Tell me where this is being taught. Please list the schools or school districts that are teaching CRT.
According to the memo from DoJ, people are using “harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.”
This is the definition of terrorism.
@RepHartzler – are you saying you support terrorism?
teaching American History is not “critical race theory”
you and your tribe desire to “memory hole” atrocities committed against brown and indigenous people, much like neo-Nazi’s deny the Holocaust (also your tribe)
pushing racism is not in our students’ best interest, Vicky
What makes critical race theory radical?
Our schools do not teach CRT.
Do you have a problem with students learning American history? Civics? Critical thinking?
Or would you prefer Americans for the most part be unable to discern bull crap when they smell it?

The GOP used to be the party of personal responsibility.
The GQP is the party of “terrorism is acceptable, so long as it supports our views.”
That’s no different than Al-Qaeda.
Anti-American extremist Vicky Hartzler supports white supremacist terrorists who threaten teachers, because being decent for even a moment will cause her to melt.
Senator Hawley supports terrorism, though. He can sit down. Teachers are getting attacked and having their lives threatened. It sounds like you now support threats of physical injury and death against the nations’ teachers and school administrators. Voters, take note of this!
Made up controversy for morally bankrupt party that doesn’t even pretend to take governing seriously any longer
The United States is committed to withdraw from Afghanistan all military forces of the United States, its allies, and Coalition partners, including all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, private security contractors, trainers, advisors, and supporting services personnel within fourteen (14) months following announcement of this agreement, and will take the following measures in this regard…
[….]
With the start of intra-Afghan negotiations, the United States will initiate an administrative review of current U.S. sanctions and the rewards list against members of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban with the goal of removing these sanctions by August 27, 2020…

With the start of intra-Afghan negotiations, the United States will start diplomatic engagement with other members of the United Nations Security Council and Afghanistan to remove members of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban from the sanctions list with the aim of achieving this objective by May 29, 2020…
[….]
Signed in Doha, Qatar on February 29, 2020…
Remind us. Who was president and who was running the Department of State in 2020?
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
One month ago, Biden declared that the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan was not inevitable and that the Afghan government would not collapse.
Today, he could not be more wrong as the Taliban has overtaken the country and President Ghani has fled Afghanistan.
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
[….]
With this latest act of incompetence, the Biden administration’s track record of repeated negligence has resulted in crises at our border, in our communities, and now overseas in the Middle East.
(2/4)
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
[….]
In Afghanistan, gone and lost are decades of progress for women, who will now see their advances crushed under Sharia Law.
I pray for them on this somber day and condemn our current administration for their bungled and failed withdrawal from Afghanistan.
(3/4)
Some of the responses:
Actually, the former guy, who you supported, wanted us out earlier.
In the meantime, what should Biden have done?
I missed your call for sending more troops. Did you?
Do you have the reaction with Trump inviting the same Taliban to Camp David? How about Pompeo just 10 months ago in face to face meeting with the man who is being called new Taliban President?
This isn’t Biden’s fault. It’s a losing game. What are we to do?
So you must have been furious when Trump invited the Taliban to Camp David.
1) Afghanistan is not “the Middle East”. 2) Biden inherited this 20 years war. US had already drawn down troops when he took office. Did you criticize Trump for that?
“…In Afghanistan, gone and lost are decades of progress for women, who will now see their advances crushed under Sharia Law.”
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
This morning:
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
I just finished a briefing on the truly sickening situation unfolding right now in Afghanistan.
The diplomatic pressure of warning the Taliban that if they hurt people there will be “international condemnation and isolation” is a joke.
[….] 9:52 AM · Aug 15, 2021
A response:
Where were you, Vicky, when trump ordered the withdrawal of US troops by May 1, 2021?
What a ridiculous statement, after TFG especially.
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
Wtf? Where are you coming up with these lies?
I’m embarrassed that I voted you in the past
Umm….please remind us of the name of the former president who claimed dictators were his friends?
The GQP lie, lie, and then lie some more.
* Keystone wouldn’t have brought lower gas or energy prices to Americans.
* Keystone wouldn’t have created more than a couple dozen new jobs at most.
* Nord Stream 2 is already nearly done and follows the same pathway as the original.
Hey remember when a bunch of your GQP colleagues visited moscow on july 4th and then came back pushing russian propaganda?
LOL. Is this a parody account ?
You are abusing prescription meds, aren’t you?
Full on Q.
Stands to reason…….
Vickster rode the #racist birther, tea party wave into office.
Of course she’d embrace the #Q movement to garner votes.
America benefits in no way from the leaky tube of toxic Canadian sludge Vicky is shilling for, so you have to wonder is she being bribed or does she just really love poisoning Native lands?
Please do Missouri a favor, Go Away.
Oh yea take hawley with you also
It wasn’t “America’s” pipeline. It was for Canadian oil to pass through the USA for shipping elsewhere out of the Gulf. Do you have ANYTHING accurate and worthwhile saying or are you just a pipeline for lies and misinformation?
Yes. This has been another edition of short answers to simple questions.
Vicky doesn’t care about anyone except an endorsement from Trump. We need someone to vote her out. She is a traitor
Does anything come out of your vicious mouth that isn’t a lie. You have no business being in congress. And I guarantee you will never make senator! This country is fed@up with your kind! Vote you out!
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Critical Race Theory has no place in Missouri schools.
Since #CRT has entered the national discussion, Missourians have expressed strong disdain for teaching our students that this country is inherently racist.
Kind of late to the right wingnut talking point bandwagon, eh?
And, as always, there is much hilarity in the responses:
Number of schools in your district where critical race theory is taught: 0
Number of counties in your district where COVID infections have increased due to Delta: 24
she’s never, NEVER in a setting where she must answer questions or defend her propaganda
can’t have a @RepHartzler without a sophisticated insulation system in place where the information only flows in one direction
If we were true to the Constitution, you wouldn’t even have the right to vote, Vicky.
I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want our actual history to be taught, unless you’re ashamed of it.
I stand with all the people who know the consequences of lying about history in order to make people feel better instead of teaching fact in order to *BE* better
Critical Race Theory doesn’t have a place in Missouri schools because it’s not *taught* in schools. It’s a graduate-level course with a specific meaning for students studying law and civil rights.
How ashamed of our country’s history, good and bad, do you have to be to want it not even to be taught?
Your party can not create a policy platform that serves its constituents so it defaults to these non existent culture war topics. Sad.
THIS parent is far more concerned about gun violence when I send my kids to school than the idea that their teachers might suddenly decide to teach them a grad-school theory. How about you deal with a REAL problem.
The fact that these hearings have been non-inclusive and one sided tells it all.
Right? “Here’s a bunch of white people to explain why we’re not racist, just ask anyone (white)!”
@RepHartzler CRT is not taught in 1-12 class rooms but I would like you to explain exactly what it is. Because unless you took the course in college, I’m guessing you can’t.
I was only able to watch 3/5 of your speech.
Someone wins the Internets today.
Unfortunately for you, kids don’t need to be taught CRT specifically to pick up on how the webs of power in this country heavily advantage some and disenfranchise others. They just need to go out in the world and meet people who are different from them. Sorry that scares you.
Well since its not taught in k thru 12….
The dog whistles are getting louder…
You could fit everything you know about Critical Race Theory on the head of a pin.
What a shocking turn of events, another mindless, virtue signaling republican coming out against CRT. [….]
You don’t even know what CRT is. But because it involves discussions around dismantling racism, you are against it.
You know what that makes you.
And tell us where this is taught? This is just catnip for your base.
Stop insulting your constituents by thinking we are stupid.
Was slavery racist?
And was it part of the law?
Heck, slavery was part of the original US Constitution.
Why don’t you want folks to know our Constitution?
Critical Race Theory is the new scary term the Right is using to create hysteria. Schools aren’t teaching it, never have and never will in any K-12 class.
Stop lying!
You look more and more like Gaetz and Greene each and every day.
That’s a feature, not a bug
There’s a republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat in Missouri in 2022.
@RepHartzler, please have a bit of respect for your constituents. CRT is taught in *zero* public schools. You honestly believe your district is that stupid? Please work for the welfare of Missourians, and stop this performative bullshit.
Spreading false information in an effort to spread hate & fear makes you & your fellow representatives worthless legislators & actually hate-filled human beings. [….]
As usual, there is much hilarity in the responses:
Can you identify three policies Biden promoted that caused this spike in prices?
I do know one: the economy opened up when the vaccinations became available.
Do you miss a year ago when prices were low because the economy was shut down?
Vicky is not smart enough to comprehend this
Ooh…look at Republicans riding the “inflation” story as hard as they can. Meanwhile, back in the real world, lumber prices are down 2/3, and crude oil down 17% (look out gasoline). Rooting against America, like @RepHartzler does, is a powerful drug. [….]
It isn’t because of President Biden. It’s pretty simple economics.
She doesn’t understand economics.
She understands. She’s just lying. She knows post-pandemic inflation was predicted a year ago, but insists on blaming Biden.
Post-pandemic. Not exactly.
Why are Americans paying more in all the stores? Try COVID-19 and its near year long lockdown. People around the world could not produce the goods everyone is now wanting while under stay at home lockdowns. Fewer goods, more people looking, prices go UP.
I’m more worried about insurrection than inflation.
#VickyHartzlerisaliar still
I was going to add scathing commentary, Vickster but, everyone else has pretty much got it covered.
I will add……
Stick with #Insurrection.
It is what you do best.
[….]
More lies and disinformation from Missouri’s welfare Queen.
Jackie W tweeted this uncited graphic yesterday. Now I am convinced you are not a independent thinking representative. Please learn supply and demand so you can understand capitalism. Your socialistic farm subsidy lifestyle seems to have horribly prepared you to speak on this.
Talking points, eh?
What’s the matter Vicky? You don’t have any photo ops scheduled for today. So instead you decide to peddle bullshit misinformation about inflation. Perhaps do something useful with your time. You know, something like reaching out to Missourians and asking them to get vaccinated.
We have a surge in domestic terrorists using the flag as their weapon! Hypocrite!
[….]
Pandemic unavoidably caused disruption of goods & materials pipeline. Government caused huge influx of cash, large hit to energy production, expectation of more regulation, expectation of higher taxes, cover for individuals not working. Why would we not expect inflation?
How stupid do you really think everyone is? Six months and this is all on him? What about your pathetic party that you bow down to? What about you? You post propaganda and take pictures.
Suck it, Insurrectionist. The GOP betrayed America.
