Last night on social media:
Denny Hoskins
Despite the 90+ degree temperatures, these God loving patriots are standing up to protect kids from “family friendly” drag shows in Warrensburg. I stopped by to hand-deliver some water/Gatorade and personally thank each one of them for staying true to their conservative beliefs and fighting the good fight. Drag shows are not for innocent kids and I am glad to stand alongside these good folks who are trying to protect our children.

They didn’t have enough sense to bring their own water? Just asking.
By the way, where was your fellow letter writer Rick Brattin (r)?:
…Not only will I have your back, but I am willing to stand alongside you as you protect our community…
Just not in 90° temperatures and high humidity, apparently.
A people loving patriot across the street:
…Running for something?
Interestingly, Denny Hoskins (r) worked the folks with the intolerant signs, walked across the street and shook the Warrensburg Police officers’ hands, but he didn’t bother to go into the venue to greet his constituents attending the Pride Festival.
Why, yes!:

Some of the responses:
Standing up ??? They are protesting other citizens rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Imposing their judgment for the judgment of the actual parents of the under 18 attending.
BTW no laws broken. Besides parents, mandatory child abuse and Law Enforcement present to observe. So again no laws were broken.
Your constituents were also inside the venue. Why didn’t you speak to us inside?
What is wrong with drag shows? They are not sexual. People are wearing costumes and acting for entertainment.
A big thank you to Denny Hoskins for showing your support and big thanks to everyone that braved the heat to try and keep the children of our community from being exposed to these highly inappropriate performances.
What is inappropriate about it?
I can’t believe there is anyone left that you need to convince of your Homophobia with a Facebook post. You are a disgrace to the office. Hate is nothing to be proud of. The majority of your constituents don’t agree with this and you know it. Your constituents were inside as well but you hate them. It’s disgusting how you flaunt and show off your hate. Zealots aren’t supposed to hold office.
Just enough expedient bluster to repeat unfounded accusations, but not enough moral compass and courage to walk a hundred feet further and through a door to see for himself.
Some (former) constituents are more equal than others, eh?
