United States Constitution, Article VI:

“…The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
It is quite the honor to be awarded the Distinguished Christian Statesmanship Award from @DJKMinistries.

The award recognizes those whose commitment to Christ and love for country compels them to stand for truth and righteousness in government. I am truly humbled to receive it.

Some of the responses to today’s tweet:

As an elected official you cannot establish religion through your work.

PS Are you capable of winning awards from groups that aren’t designated as hate groups?
[….]

Jesus would not have voted against a standalone bill to cap the cost of insulin at $35/month.

This is a joke, right…?

Nope. She is aimed at the rabid right

Ah if only there was some ethical doctrine about separating your governing duties and your personal religion. Something about the church and state perhaps? Weird how people can be so inconsistent about which principles of the founding fathers and Jesus they follow.

Winning an award isn’t “humbling,” reading these responses should be humbling. Words are hard.

Not all your constituents are white Christians.

Keep your faith out of our government.

Oh that’s embarrassing

Christian Nationalism…It’s wrong & goes against everything Jesus came to abolish. If it was an integral part of Christianity Jesus would have come as an earthly king, not a heavenly one. As a born-again Christian, I will continue to fight this misuse of Jesus’ name.

LMAO, distinguished Christian. That bar must be so low its buried if they gave it to you Vick. You don’t stand for truth, righteousness, or humility. You stand for lying, hypocrisy and hatred. You foster bigotry and indifference on a daily basis.

You are rotting from the inside out, and it shows.

Christofacist.
I don’t believe your mythology, yet you pledge to rule me with it. Dangerous cultists have infiltrated government.

Yesterday evening Mark Alford (r), former newsreader and one of several republican candidates in the 4th Congressional District, made a campaign appearance in front of a small crowd on the Johnson County Courthouse lawn in Warrensburg.

Mark Alford (r).

Speaking to the gathering:

Apparently, he believes he is.

Mark Alford (r) is not interested in your responses:

From Mark Alford’s campaign web site (look it up, if you’re interested):

“We all know that something wasn’t right with the election in 2020. Multiple states circumvented The Constitution of the United States in the name of a man-made virus. We must bring integrity back to our elections!”

“…man-made virus…”

“We must protect the lives of the unborn and be the voice of the voiceless. There are no exceptions; abortion is murder because each life is precious in the eyes of God.”

“We must respect the men and women in blue, those who risk their lives for each of us every day. Our society will fall further into chaos without law and order.”

“The Founders of our great nation knew that to remain a secure and free republic we needed armed citizens. It’s not a suggestion, it’s our right to keep and bear arms, and it shall not be infringed! There is no such thing as “gun violence” it’s “human violence.””

“…each life…” Uvalde, Texas.

“Parents must have a say in their children’s education, and we must stop schools from teaching anti-American propaganda.”

Is arming teachers in the classroom okay? Just asking.

The Venn diagram is a perfect circle:

Attempting to fail upward.

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?

Micromanagement.

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!
[….]
2:57 PM · Nov 8, 2021

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.

Former television news reader Mark Alford (r) is running in Missouri’s 4th Congressional District. From a campaign video posted on Monday:

Mark Alford (r) [thumb up] – Johnson County, Missouri Sheriff’s Department [video screen capture].

No one suggested wearing a mask? You know there’s still a pandemic in progress, right?

From the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS):

Among the lowest vaccine rates in the State of Missouri.

By the way, Mark, you live in the district?

First question: Who is the current President of the United States?

“…Republican Candidate for Missouri’s 4th Congressional District…”

That narrows it down. A lot.

Mark Alford. One of those television guys.

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…”

“Faux News channel, fascist groupies” – protest sign, circa 2003- 2004.

“…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?

Stand up and help us take back America!

Yeah, that’s actually on the campaign web site.

There are imaginary monsters under the bed

Yesterday:

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

Damn you’re clueless

Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan
between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States
as a state and is known as the Taliban and the United States of America
February 29, 2020

[….]

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?

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

This afternoon:

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.

(1/4)
1:01 PM · Aug 15, 2021

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.”

Does anyone want to tell her?
