Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

This is what we get:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
It’s time to stand up against the muzzling of America
[….]
8:35 PM · Jan 24, 2021

Seventeen days of silence from the seditionist on his Twitter account until today. And all we get is self-serving whining.

Some of the responses:

Strange muzzling. You announce the muzzling on a Big Tech platform about a column in a major newspaper. Me thinks you protest too much.

#JoshHawleyIsATraitor #joshhawleyisaliar #JoshHawleyResign

You wanted to disenfranchise MILLIONS of voters. You wanted to muzzle people of color. WTF is wrong with you.

Sweetie, you’re not being cancelled. You being held accountable for your actions in supporting insurrection. Take several seats, Josh.

How can someone who is cancelled have an op ed in the Post?

You don’t seem terribly muzzled.

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

The senator is complaining about being ‘muzzled’ for challenging the results of a free and fair election. He believes ‘cancel culture’ is silencing him after he helped incite an insurrection that left five people dead, including a police officer.

He also believes it’s unconstitutional for a private company to cancel a book deal. The victim complex on this one…

You tried to disenfranchise millions of voters in a seditious plot and are whining about this?

Have you no honor?

Oh cut the shit. You are guilty of sedition and need to be removed.

You are a disgrace to the office and we will never forget what you did.

It’s time for you to Quit.

This guy literally incited a riot…on his own free will… and now he’s whining about some censorship bs

It’s time to stand up to seditionists

You’re a traitor and that’s how you’ll be remembered, Senator.

So you wrote an op-ed that made the cover of the NY Post and it’s about (checks notes) having your voice muzzled.

How fortunate the US would be if that was in fact true.

The irony is completely lost on him.

So elitist to write for a New York paper. I thought you were the senator from Missouri. Is Missouri not good enough for you?

If it were good enough for him he’d live there

You weren’t muzzled. You spoke out and caused a bloody insurrection.

Stop deflecting from your sedition

The muzzling of Americans?

You mean like when you tried to muzzle the votes of 81 million Americans? Including me?

Literally fuck off, dude. Consider, just for one hot second, that you might have been in the wrong.

Our State is dying Senator. Stop whining about your book deal and do your job.

Since your actions are deserving of censure and expulsion from the Senate, I’m not surprised you are opposed to consequences.

The picture of privilege – having a national platform from which to speak.
You’re not being muzzled, you’re being held accountable.

Five people died in a right wing attack on the Capitol you incited. They’re silenced now. You did that. Resign.

Difference between being silenced and being ignored.

New York Post op ed. Very relatable to a Missourian.

Your. Career. Is. Over.

Stop fighting it. It only makes it sadder.

Your first tweet in days could have been much, much better than this.

Your actions will have consequences, now it’s time for you learn about the 14th Amendment.

It’s time to resign, you lying, seditious traitor.

But you had no issue with trying to muzzle me and the millions of others who didn’t vote for Trump, though, did you?

“I’m being censored… here’s a link to an op-Ed I wrote in a major publication about it.”

It’s time to stand up to seditionist, inciting, traitors and expel them from the Senate. Your whining isn’t going to make us forget.

“Local DC socialite and Ivy Educated lawyer Josh Hawley is furious after being unable to find constitutional clause that would force private bookseller to publish his fascist manifesto after attempting overthrow of American democracy“

I’m constantly amazed that there a group of ppl that believe ppl like @HawleyMO when they say they are silenced, “muzzled”, etc. when they see them say it in front of a camera or read their exact words they have tweeted or told a reporter to report.

How can silence be so loud?

You refuse to talk to local media. You aren’t muzzled.

You misspelled “I resign.”

I too have been muzzled by the New York Post’s front page

Man, I really hope you just shut the fuck up soon

Now you are doing fascist op-eds in the New York Post?

You are free to say whatever you want, and we are free to call it seditious.

The irony of being published in a New York City newspaper, sharing it on Twitter, and then having the audacity to say you’re being muzzled. The mind boggles.

republican campaign supplies.

And on and on…

Late last night:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
This is reckless, divisive, and an unconscionable questioning of our National Guard’s loyalty to America.

They deserve our respect and appreciation — not accusations.
[….]
9:15 PM · Jan 18, 2021

Some of the comments:

You should talk about division. You supported insurection, and if you had a conscience you’d resign before your expelled.

And @RepHartzler has done what about the bounty on troops?

@RepHartzler continues to support Trump despite domestic terrorism?

As an Army spouse (and a constituent of yours) I’m troubled by your refusal to see that some have been radicalized by Q conspiracies. I first heard about Q via an army spouse who had lost her husband down the conspiracy hole. Please don’t downplay the need for the conversation

I disagree. It’s better to be safe than sorry. There is evidence that there are some white supremacists in law enforcement. They should absolutely be questioning the guards given the recent attacks.

We’ve all got very good reason to be concerned about loyalty at the moment.
Plus you refused to certify the vote of the people. That’s a darker stain on the nation than a careful inspection of the troops after an insurrection.

I see you have received your talking points.

It’s all in the timing…

..and feigned outrage.

Then announce that the election was legitimate and you will support the new administration. You have stoked the flames of this mess.

Do you want us to not question anyone in the National Guard, but you’re fine with questioning the FBI? What you’re doing doesn’t make sense, Rep. Hartzler.

From an active duty law enforcement officer’s lips to your ears, Rep. Harztler. Stop denying facts. Doing so endangers us all. [….]

Your dismissal endanger us all. You must delete this tweet and follow up with accurate info, Rep. Hartzler. [….]

Sit down Vicky Sit down [….]

You are not doing a good job representing your constituents.

For ten years.

Seems prudent to me, but I still remember January 6, 2021 when insurrectionist included police officers, National Guardsmen, and retired military.

You must have been busy that day and weren’t paying attention.

Resign. Immediately.

There were National Guard members in the mob who wanted to kill VP Pence. What makes you think they were all caught?

Uh, did you not see Jan. 6? Also, you caused all of this. Don’t try to pretend that somehow you, or Trump supporters, are the victim. The president certainly doesn’t have loyalty to America. And neither do you. [….]

Uhmmm…some particated in an insurrection so…

Sadly, people like you have spread lies and conspiracy’s that have caused a number of Americans to mount an insurrection. We wouldn’t have to vet anyone if you would tell the truth to your constituents. Your embrace of lies make you culpable in the armed coup.

Former and Active military members and police officers were part of the group that stormed the Capitol a week ago.

The FBI is obligated to research credible threats.

You can respect the troops while vetting them.

Maybe you should get all the facts before you shoot your mouth off. [….]

Has that ever happened before? Just asking.

Stop with the conservative victimhood narrative. Vetting for insider threats is routinely done in the military. [….]

Is there no end to the babbling hypocrisy of Republicans? How about that insurrection? STFU

You spent weeks going along with the lie that the election was stolen and believers of your lie murdered a police officer. Dont talk about reckless

Maybe if there was not Trump supporting insurrectionist already arrested that are members of the Nat’l Guard and law enforcement, we would not be having to do this. They should be doing the same thing to the members of Congress and they can start with you.

Cold. That’s cold.

Steve Cohen?! The fried chicken fool?! His comments are not to be heeded.

Must be a Faux News Channel talking head. Am I correct?

Where is YOUR loyalty to America, Vicky? All we’ve seen from you is refusal to certify election results which aligned you with the insurrectionists. Oh and, bs Republican talking points. Party over country once again.

Just shut up for once.

Oh so you know more than the Generals too, huh?

#Resign #Traitor

There is something fundamentally wrong with you people. There were many former & current firemen, police, political office holders, etc just 10 days ago running amok in DC trying to murder the VP, and it’s the height of white arrogance to suggest there aren’t any there now.

Vicky you want to know what’s really divisive? Lying about election results so much that leads to our Capitol being stormed by some of the White supremacists in the military that we’ve been warning about for years.

There’s that.

Some of the comments:

You just knew Missouri state rep Justin Hill would finally get the praise he deserves.

Calling it ‘cancel culture’ when good people refuse to stand silently by while you work to destroy the country allows you to pretend that you didn’t wreck your own life.

Your life is still wrecked, though.

They are always the victims. Always. An entire political movement built partially on a refusal to take personal responsibility for anything, to feel constantly ignored, put upon, persecuted. They are addicted to feeling like victims.

What he is referring to as ‘cancel culture’ is more accurately ‘consequences culture.’ In other words, your actions, who you support, and what you say have consequences, and sometimes they may not be to your liking. This is also called “adult culture.”

What happened to personal responsibility?

Bhahahahaha
Snowflake!

Cancel Culture is the GOP wanting to cancel the election and disenfranchise millions of voters.

Why should this be surprising to this guy? I wouldn’t knowingly do business with a Nazi, a KKK member, etc. You either believe in markets & capitalism or you don’t. The market is solving the problem. Now let’s hope this post goes viral and he loses even more business.

We feel for you, snowflake.

“Cancel culture” is a funny way of spelling “consequences of actions.”

I’m not understanding the correlation. How is firing your insurance agent for insurrection “cancel culture”?

You take the ride, you pay the price.

It’s almost as if siding with insurrectionists to overthrow the legitimate government of the United States makes you unpopular or something. That’s so unfair.

I’m old enough to remember when people like that used to complain that the problem with society today is that young people today are growing up without rules and consequences.

He literally took part in trying to cancel the votes of 81,283,485 people, 51.4% of votes cast.

Who would want to do business with an American traitor?

Cancel culture? Maybe simply principled customers with freedom to choose where they spend their money.

It’s not cancel culture. It’s called accountability.

There are consequences to be seditionist. You’ll just have to live with them.

You made your choice, buddy.

One of my favorite sayings:
“You can have anything you want in life, as long as you’re willing to pay the price.”

Hope you enjoyed your trip to DC.

And on and on.

Today in the Missouri House of Representatives:

FIRST REGULAR SESSION
House Concurrent Resolution No. 10 [pdf]
101ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE MERIDETH.
1790H.01I DANA RADEMAN MILLER, Chief Clerk

WHEREAS, on January 6, 2021, violent insurrectionists incited by President Donald J. Trump did storm and briefly occupy the United States Capitol in a lawless attempt to block Congress from formalizing President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory and illegally keep President Trump in office; and

WHEREAS, United States Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri was a leader of the effort to overturn the Electoral College results of several states won by President-elect Biden; and

WHEREAS, in that role Senator Hawley did repeat and amplify false claims of fraud in those states that have been rejected by more than 60 state and federal courts across the nation due o the complete lack of any evidence; and

WHEREAS, Senator Hawley’s efforts to disenfranchise millions of voters and overturn a lawful and legitimate election demonstrates an animosity toward democracy and the American system of government; and

WHEREAS, in a sickening display of political self-interest Senator Hawley issued a campaign fundraising appeal as the insurrectionist mob was making its way to the Capitol; and

WHEREAS, as the attack on the Capitol was getting underway, Senator Hawley was photographed showing support for the insurrectionists; and

WHEREAS, Senator Hawley’s actions in promoting demonstrable lies did further incite and inflame the insurrectionists; and

WHEREAS, after the insurrection had been quelled, Senator Hawley did continue repeating the lies about election fraud and resumed his efforts to overturn the lawful and legitimate election results; and

WHEREAS, five people died as a result of the Capitol insurrection, including U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick; and

WHEREAS, more than 50 police officers sustained injuries during the insurrection; and

WHEREAS, Senator Hawley has expressed more remorse over the loss of his book deal than he has over those deaths and injuries or the actions he took that helped create the conditions that made them possible; and

WHEREAS, Senator Hawley, upon being being sworn into office in 2019, did take a solemn oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;” and

WHEREAS, Senator Hawley has violated that oath; and

WHEREAS, since the events of January 6, Senator Hawley has faced widespread condemnation throughout Missouri and the country for his role in encouraging the worst assault on the U.S. Capitol since the War of 1812; and

WHEREAS, it is the duty of all elected officials and citizens to strongly reject sedition and insurrection:

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the House of Representatives of the One Hundred First General Assembly, First Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, hereby urge Senator Josh Hawley to immediately resign from the United States Senate for inciting sedition and violent insurrection against the government and people of the United States in violation of his oath of office; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives be instructed to prepare a properly inscribed copy of this resolution for Senator Hawley.

The seditionist:

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

And:

FIRST REGULAR SESSION
House Concurrent Resolution No. 11 [pdf]
101ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE ELLEBRACHT.
1778H.02I DANA RADEMAN MILLER, Chief Clerk

WHEREAS, the members of the House of Representatives of the State of Missouri together with the members of the Senate of the State of Missouri roundly condemn violent and destructive demonstration of all kinds; and

WHEREAS, the violent acts and crimes of property destruction that occurred in cities across the United States over the past year have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law that local and state law enforcement agencies have had the power to pursue; and

WHEREAS, the state of Missouri and its residents universally believe that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere; and

WHEREAS, the members of the One Hundred First General Assembly were collectively horrified by the disgraceful and craven acts of certain individuals who, on January 6, 2021, violently and seditiously invaded the Capitol of the United States of America in an effort to disrupt and possibly altogether prevent the certification of the count of the Electoral College votes, and in so doing committed various and sundry criminal acts; and

WHEREAS, the criminal acts engaged in by those individuals resulted in shame and embarrassment of the people of Missouri, as yet uncalculated property damage, and, most tragically, the loss of five human lives:

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the House of Representatives of the One Hundred First General Assembly, First Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, hereby strongly and most emphatically request that the President of the

United States refrain from pardoning, providing amnesty, commuting sentences, or offering any other relief or excuse from liability for any of the criminal acts that occurred on the Capitol grounds and inside the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, and that those individuals be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law that federal law enforcement agencies have the power
to pursue; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives be instructed to prepare a properly inscribed copy of this resolution for distribution to the Office of the President of the United States of America, the Office of the Attorney General of the United States of America, the Office of the Pardon Attorney for the United States Department of Justice, and the members of Missouri’s congressional delegation.

Our times.

Just asking.

Yesterday:

@JasonSmithMO @JasonSmithMO
Calls for “unity” are all by lip service when Washington Dems are discussing impeachment behind closed doors and talks of censorship are ratcheted up.
11:34 AM · Jan 10, 2021

Some of the responses:

A cop is dead on your watch. Do better.

@JasonSmithMO here is what would help with unity.

I need you to state, publicly every day for the next couple weeks:

“Joe Biden was elected President of the United States, there has not been evidence of widespread voter fraud, I eagerly look forward to the new administration!”

This you?

“Those who break laws or put our national security in jeopardy should not escape consequences just because they are a powerful elite or in this case have the last name of Clinton. “ Jason Smith, Sept 16, 2016

Where was @JasonSmithMO when Congressman Andy Kim took a knee to help?

Really? Really? You are lecturing people about dishonest calls for unity? This is you encouraging a riot that killed 5 people in our Capitol. Where were you on unity before the riot you encouraged?

You have no standing to call for unity.

Did I see a photo of you at the insurrection?

Yes. Yes you did.

Hey Jason, might want to read up on the 14th Amendment! Here I’ll help you!

THEY CARRIED ZIP TIE CUFFS AND ERECTED A GALLOWS. AT THE DIRECTION OF THE PRESIDENT. THERE WERE LEO’s AND EX MILITARY OFFICERS. RUDY CALLED FOR “TRIAL BY COMBAT.” UNITY WITH FASCISTS IS SURRENDER TO FASCISTS. RESIGN AND LIVE WITH THIS IGNOMINY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

Congressman, you have no moral standing to speak of unity or to set down the terms by which it is to be achieved. You refused to accept the results of a free and fair election, contributing to an insurrection attempt.

You tried to overturn the election. You shall not escape responsibility.

There can be no unity before there is accountability. The insurrectionists and those who incited them must be held to account or they will remain a threat to our democracy. A police officer was murdered because of Trump’s calls for violence. You want unity? Vote to impeach.

No. I’m one of your constituents. Hard to let you guys off the hook for Wednesday’s insurrection.

Oh look, one of the guys handing out matches and gasoline thinks it’s divisive to prosecute the lead arsonist.

Accountability first, healing later. You need to unite with your colleagues and call for the impeachment and removal of the terrorist sympathizer currently in the presidential office.

There can be no unity before accountability and justice. There is an order to these things.

Your constituents are the lowest income in our state. They need someone who care about them. It sure is not you. It is too bad they do not know that.

This is a fraudulent, embarrassing, and cowardly take.

I’m your constituent. You should be begging for forgiveness right now, not doubling down. Maybe sit this one out.

No. With every tweet like this you are declaring your unfitness to serve and refusal to understand the significance of what took place this week. Either lead by your Oath to the Constitution or leave.

Just leave.

Yeah, we don’t negotiate or unify with terrorist. Imagine that…

Behind close doors my ass, this is a national demand

We cannot have unity without accountability. Your party started this. Accept the consequences.

You are choosing the side of the traitors, and we won’t forget.

Did you take an oath?

You know what would help with unity…no more coup attempts and removing those who encouraged the one last week. #SeditionCaucus #CoupAttempt #GOPBetrayedAmerica

You tried to help overthrow the government of the United States but go off.

And on and on…

“… The protesters were here…”

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

Riot. Insurrection. Sedition. Call it what it is.

Yesterday, from Vicky Hartzler (r):

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
As Wednesday’s events were unfolding, I was asked to share what was happening and wrote this summary on my cell phone after being evacuated and taken to a secure location by Capitol Police:
[….]
12:52 PM · Jan 8, 2021

For The Faux News Channel.

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

You think The Faux News Channel stylebook requires “…protesters…” in place of “White Racist Fascists involved in Insurrection and Riot?” Just asking.

Some of the comments on Twitter:

And during that time did you do any self reflection? Have any thoughts on how your lies contributed to their anger and confusion?

Did you think that by objecting to a STATE not YOUR OWN, caused any of these? Your grandchildren will read YOUR name in the history books as an insurrectionist, who, was coddled by Capitol Police saving her life. You do not deserve your seat any longer, and you know it.

History will remember Seditionists. #SeditionCaucus….

hartzler agitated this into being. she should resign

“The fire that I have been slowly pouring gas on all of a sudden got out of control and burned me! HOW DARE IT!”

How dare those face-eating leopards eat MY face.

I’m a constituent & I’m ashamed of you. I don’t think you feel any remorse or even acknowledge your part in this coup.

But if you truly, truly want to start working together with Democrats for the future of our republic, VOTE ‘AYE’ TO IMPEACH.

If police officers allow you in, what kind of an assault is it???

Sorry but entering the capital to kidnap and kill the speaker of the house and the VP is not something you can put back in a bottle.

YOU helped create this insurrection. There is blood on YOUR hands, ViQy–the blood of Americans and the blood of our democracy.

14th AMENDMENT SECTION 3

“No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress who shall have engaged in Insurrection or Rebellion against the same or given and or comfort to the enemies thereof”

Have you taken steps to force his resignation today?! He sent a private army to invade our Capitol and what are the consequences?!

They took your lies so seriously that they murdered a police officer in the name of them. And you chose to still continue on with those lies after?

Vicky voted to overturn a legitimate election and push the Big Lie that the election was “stolen” but she doesn’t want to be held responsible for the violence the Big Lie was meant to elicit.

Vick. You did this to yourself.

Columbia constituent here. We are ashamed of you.

Perhaps you should think twice before tweeting any more of these kinds of tweets. Things are pretty raw for us right now, so maybe wait until 2022 when you run for reelection. Unless you decide to resign of course.

Fact check: it was an invasion of the Capitol by Trump “Patriots” that he incited to action earlier in the day and cheered as he watched them on TV enter the building.

United States Constitution says that “no Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress” who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the Constitution, “or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

Every member of the house and senate who perpetuated the lie of voter fraud is responsible for the violent act of domestic terrorism at the capitol and must be held responsible by being removed for insurrection.

I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked.
Psalms 26:5

It is unequivocally the spasm of the 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 to immediately create a thousand false narratives to virtualize reality beyond navigability. They will say and do anything to maintain the illusion they are civil, humane beings. This is the 𝑅𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 gaslighting you.

Speaking of phones, why is nobody answering any of the phones in Vicky’s offices? Does she think that she can just hide out until her attempt at insurrection blows over? Does she plan on meeting with the family of the Capitol police officer that she got killed?

This account has been awful quiet since then. I wonder why. Winking face

You created the monkies, deal with the circus. #ResignVicky

You cannot praise and follow Trump for 3 years and 11 and 1/2 months and now try to distance yourself when his words and actions have been consistent all the way up to and including January 6th!

You built this.

Indeed she did.

Stirred shit for 4 years. Gfy.

Yep well Kevin McCarthy you and the Republicans were complicit in all of it. You let this happen. Shame on you.

Resign immediately.

@GOPLeader was out there liking photos of the insurrectionist mob attacking you all. Isn’t that right, Kevin?

Resign NOW!

The only words, as your constituent, that I want to hear from you is, “I deeply regret my involvement in an attempted coup of our government and I resign.”

Resign!

As a Missouri constituent, please resign . Whoever is running against you has a head start.

You are party to sedition against the United States. The 14th Amendment prevents you from serving in Congress. Resign or be expelled.

COMPLICIT

Insurrectionist.

A gop lead failed coup attempt will forever chained around republican leadership.
#SeditiousGOP

Ypu should be ashamed of yourself. We will never forget your role in this, and your love for trump.

It’s your POTUS who blew his dog whistle for this to happen. Don’t try to distance yourself from your own culpability.

Vicky you are seriously delusional to believe you have no part in fueling this. Again, read the room and own up to your own misjudgments before trying to take a spotlight for getting caught up in this terrorists attack by your own party supporters.

No way do you get to gloss over the fact that you are the one who incited this insurrection by continually lying to the people of Missouri and America about a free and fair election just because you made the choice to be subservient to an autocrat. We won’t forget.

Some of the pro-Trump rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol defecated inside the building and smeared feces in hallways.
#GOPSeditiousTraitors
This is your Party. Your legacy.

And on and on…

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

This morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Heartbroken to hear of the death of Capitol Police Officer Sicknick who was injured courageously defending the Capitol on Wednesday.

My prayers are with his family, his fellow officers in the USCP, and with our nation during this dark time.

Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan
U.S. Capitol Police Statement on Loss of Officer Brian D. Sicknick:

“At approximately 9:30 p.m. this evening (January 7, 2021), United States Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty.” RIP

9:03 AM · Jan 8, 2021

The comments:

You should feel responsible, your words and rhetoric fanned the flames. Thoughts and prayers don’t work when you pray for one thing and say another. I feel disgusted that I’m represented by you and Hawley, because I don’t feel like you represent someone who loves America.

And yet you voted to dismiss the results of LEGAL elections!

You forgot “and I deeply regret and apologize for the misinformation I’ve peddled about our election which was deemed one of the most secure in recent history and with the additional oversight done by swing states I can say with certainty was a legitimate win for Joe Biden.”

“Thoughts and prayers”, right Vick? That’s the best the Right can offer, ever. How about “justice”? That’s a good word. How about “impeach” or “evict”?

Oh, and don’t forget “resign”.

Resign. You are complicit in his death.

Courageously defending the Capitol from your president’s supporters. QUIT. NOW!

The masses don’t want your platitudes now, @RepHartzler. They want your resignation.

maybe next time don’t support sedition?

Look at your hands, Vicky. You are complicit. You got these people all riled up by objecting to a free and fair election. You lied to your constituents (again) and got people killed. We here in MO-4 won’t forget what you did.

You’re heartbroken? Ma’am, you’re *complicit.* That man’s blood is on your hands.

You are a seditious bastard and should be expelled from the House. Blood is on YOUR hands.

#ResignVicky your lies caused this to happen. You are an accessory to the deaths of 5 people.

Your supporters murdered him. His family doesn’t need your prayers, they need your resignation.

You are a complicit enabler in this tragedy

He died because of you. Good job. You need to resign.

You stood on the wrong side, Vicky. You tried to subvert the votes of 81,283,485 people in a free and fair election, and this is the results of your actions.

Own it.

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

This evening:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
After months of talking about bridging our political divides, House Democrats are now trying to silence dissenting opinions from Republicans.

This rule change is an outright assault on the rights of the minority and debilitates our ability to fully represent our constituents.
[….]
5:14 PM · Jan 4, 2021

Chutzpah. On so many levels.

The comments are, as always, priceless:

Look at you, one day in and #SlickVick over here with more lies looking to add more $$$ to the $2M pot she’s already made for herself at our expense.

You’re a seditionist, Vicky. A traitor to the nation. You will go down in history as the worst of the worst. Congratulations.

No worries. I try to be nice to the deranged and delusional.

Just wait until you find out what Mitch McConnell has been doing for years.

Oh, she knows.

Ahh we care about the cost of things now

Resign.

Boo hoo cry about it

You don’t speak for your constituents when you rely on gerrymandering and voter suppression to win your seats.

Considering that the only constituent that Hartzler represents is herself, I can’t say that I’m especially concerned.

Boy, if you’re upset about dissenting opinions being made silent in the House, wait until you hear how many dissenting opinions you’re trying to silence in the absurd and reckless electoral college challenge you’ve signed onto.

You are the one fostering the divide by denying the legal election

I’m listening oh yeah not buying it

Sorry, Vicky, elections have consequences. I heard that somewhere once.

After years of Trump…. uh…. you deserve nothing.

You voted to throw out the results of a Presidential election. And you’re going to do it again on Wednesday.

You are a fucking traitor.

I’m sorry, you’re complaining about the Dems “maintain a grip on power” when you just supported an attempted coup by the loser of the Presidential election with fake charges of election fraud? Yeah, you gave up that right, when you tried to kill off our democracy.

Your boy is trying to overturn an election and openly breaking the law. STFU

You really are the worst kind of self-serving liar. Shame.

STFU, seditionist. Fake ass patriot.

You do nothing in Washington
You sit on B committees
You don’t pass laws
You are enslaved to your corporate donors
You benefit from the laws you vote for; and
You are a seditionist

Ike Skelton once held that seat
He delivered for Missouri
You deliver for #SlickVick

There’s that.

Sounds like a #snowflake statement.

Lol sure, Republicans are famously long suffering protectors of rules and norms. Don’t remember your outrage when your senate colleagues sharted out a supreme during the middle of a presidential election. Save your hysterics.

2nd Congressional District, Ann Wagner, electoral college, missouri, right wingnut

Today, from Rep. Anne Wagner (r):

WAGNER STATEMENT ON THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE CERTIFICATION VOTE
Jan 4, 2021
Press Release

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Ann Wagner (MO-02) released the following statement on the Electoral College Certification vote:

“On January 3, 2021, I took a solemn oath before God and Country to, ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ I have faith in our nation’s legal process, believe in the rule of law, and will always uphold that oath to support and defend the Constitution.

“Article II of the Constitution and the 12th Amendment are clear. The power to elect the President of the United States lies with the States and the People, not Congress. Specifically each State ‘shall appoint, in such Manner as the (State) Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors’ and ‘the person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President.’ It is time for Congress to count the electoral votes from each State and fulfill our Constitutional duty.

“I cannot and will not unconstitutionally insert Congress into the Presidential election in this manner. This would amount to stealing power from the People and the States. It would, in effect, replace the Electoral College with Congress, and strengthen the efforts of those who are determined to eliminate it or render it irrelevant.

“At this point, all States have certified their election results and electors and alleged irregularities have been taken to State and Federal court over five dozen times and rejected, even by judges appointed by President Trump.

“I even signed on to an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States asking the Justices to examine the election changes made by several States and determine if they went beyond the scope of the Constitution’s State legislative requirements. The Supreme Court made a ruling and rejected the merits of our filing in an exceptionally expeditious manner.

“Although some States needlessly injected controversy into this year’s election by making last minute ballot changes and casting doubt over the management and integrity of their election process, that controversy must be decided either by the States themselves, or the Supreme Court. Both avenues have been tried, the legal process followed, and with that comes a finality that Congress and our nation must respect.

“While I may not like the outcome of the election, that does not mean I can, nor should I, try to usurp the powers of the individual States of our republic. To allow Congress to alter the decided outcome of the election would irreparably damage our system of government and defy the Constitution. It is for these reasons I will not support any objection to the certification of electoral college results.”

Apparently sedition is too much for some republican members of Congress.

Then again, right wingnuts on Twitter are another matter:

These irregularities have never been heard in our corrupt courts. They have merit but no standing means you have a case but we won’t hear it.

So it’s ok to tamper with voting? There needs to be someone to look out for us and if it’s not our elected representatives, who will?

Thank you for doing…your job?

RINOs like this only want to appease and fly under the radar. They think striking back at their party wins them favor with the so called moderate. It doesn’t. And she’s foolish.

good luck in your primary

Pass the popcorn.

Pass the popcorn.

Straddling the sedition fence.

I just read your statement on this Election Fraud.
Missourians hear you are OKAY with this Fraud.
The constituents who elected you, do not think this is OKAY & you need to follow @HawleyMO, do your Constitutional duty, & denounce this certification.
There is evidence of FRAUD.

You are a coward. This election was fraudulent and it’s your job to protect the process from fraud. This isn’t about inserting Congress into the process. This is about protecting the vote from fraud.

Buh-bye Ann!! You and many other weak politicians won’t EVER get my vote again!! The day calls for bravery and you clearly have none!!

You are aware the Constitution provides for this right? It’s called “checks and balances”. I hope you get primaried

Well, if you live in the district, go ahead, knock yourself out.

You’re on the wrong side of this fight.

Supporting the fraud makes you complicit and a traitor to those of us who elected you.

No, seriously, tell us how you really feel.

so fraud is ok with you ?

I read your statement. If you do not stand up against election fraud you are condemning the constitution not following it. Do you damn job and stop being a coward. You will be dealt with in the primaries if you shirk your constitutional duties you swore to uphold.

Sounds a mite bit touchy there.

You are a failure as a representative of the People. With so much event fraud and massive irregularities, you turn a blind eye the very system of law and the Constitution you allegedly support. You would allow the criminals of the Democratic Party steal what is rightfully ours.

Shame on you…you will be out of office soon…

Glad didn’t vote for you last time around. Coward.

Very disappointed in your stance. I live in Wildwood Mo and will actively help the republicans to primary you. You have done nothing the entire time you’ve been in public office. You could have when the country needed you.

Support the Constitution or get out. Who’s paying you? Who owns you? You are there to uphold the Constitution on behalf of others. Share your bribe, b!tch.

Baskets of deplorables.

Weak sauce Ann. I’ve supported you but felt you weren’t strong. I will no longer support you. If you cannot see with your own eyes the degree of election manipulation, that tells me you’re looking out for someone other than the people and our Republic. Very disappointed in you.

Bye bye. Enjoy your last term.

Hey rep Ann you know what irreparably damages our government? A stolen election. You are on the wrong side of history. Your time in congress will be short

[says the account with a troll avatar]

Shame on you. Enjoy your time in Congress because you will never get elected again. #WeWillNEVERForget

How is it possible for someone to be this stupid? I’m gobsmacked at your horrific stupidity. Objecting would cause irreparable damage? Are you f*cking joking?! And accepting criminal election fraud won’t?! You are yet ANOTHER obscenely corrupt 3rd world banana republic politician

Supporting and verifying criminal election fraud CAUSES IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO OUR COUNTRY. TO DEMOCRACY. TO OUR CONSTITUTION. TO OUR LAWS. Fighting against it is vital to protecting our country. How in the holy hell are you this f*cking stupid?

I can only conclude either you are horrifyingly stupid or you are owned. How much did Dominion pay you? How much did China pay you? I simply cannot believe someone can be so horrendously stupid as to think accepting criminal election fraud is good for the country

Your career is over.

How very disappointing to read this.
With this statement (and after just voting for you again, and many times before), there will be no “next time”. You’ve given up, and gave in. How can I stand for you, if you will not stand for our Constitution, and fair elections? I cannot.

NOT GOOD. The People will remember what a coward you are.

You are a psychological experiment at this point. I’m sincerely concerned for your mental health. One question – do you believe accepting criminal election fraud will sh*t rainbows and unicorns on this country?

Is that performance art?

Your complete trash. Most Missourians were so proud of Josh Hawley. We know who the real traitors are to our republic! You Anne, are one of them. You need to resign or go to prison.

Really, pass the popcorn.

The constitution allows exactly what will on the 6th. The people in this country know their votes were stolen. No court allowed the presentation of evidence. It will happen on the 6th. Those who do not represent the Trump voters are traitors and their political careers are over.

It’s a sad state of affairs when overwhelming evidence of electoral fraud is ignored by the very people we entrust to defend it. Seven states have submitted disputed electoral votes, because of this overwhelming evidence. You choose to kick the can down the road? ByeBye GOP.

I think you will be looking for a new job in 2 years, MS Wagner. I am not from Missouri; I think Josh Hawley has a great abundance of courage and doesn’t back down from what is right. You have watched President Trump badgered for the last 4 years and you don’t have the nerve.

Not from Missouri, eh?

You don’t even care what your voters think. Your a republican and most republicans believe there is Fraud. You are a FRAUD and will lose . You will go down in history as a LOSER/ your not alone on the soon to be island of forgotten traitors.

That’s right next door the Island of Never Learned Grammar.

Your analysis of the constitution and facts about the election are completely wrong. You have gone on record with your mistake and will not listen to further reason or evidence in chambers. Only one conclusion is left, you will be VOTED-OUT!

57% of Missouri voted for Trump!

There’s no accounting for taste.

Another RINO that chooses to not only accept a fraudulent election in those 6 states, but also doesn’t advocate for an audit commission to investigate the fraud that occurred in the Presidential election.

You will be primaried in 2022, Ms. Wagner.

I’m a Missourian and can’t wait to help end your career

Primary 2020

Uh, too late?

Did you read and listened to all of the evidence? There was MASSIVE FRAUD!!!!!!!!!

Where?

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

You can kiss your political career goodbye

It is also your duty to protect our votes. So even in the face of blatant voter fraud you are going to stand down. Then there is no reason to vote for you again if you believe it’s ok to let it be stolen away.

You may not like your when your term is done. Your term is complete it’s time for you to go. You going against what We The People want. This election was stolen

You’re traitor !!

Your political career is over soon.

You suck! Remember, your political career lies in OUR hands and without helping President Trump, you’ll be gone in a heartbeat.

Primary this swamp coward.

You helped build this, Ann.
