Republicans are fighting on behalf of the American people for a government that works FOR them, not AGAINST them. 2:02 PM · Jan 18, 2023
Some of the responses:
Is that why conservative districts have a shorter life expectancy?
I’m pretty sure Jason is fighting AGAINST America.
[….]
You’ve represented one of the poorest districts in the country for more than a decade. In that time, absolutely no progress made for your constituency ! In fact it’s worse !
Who are you fighting for ?
Oh please. I like SS. Medicare Libraries Public Schools. Roads
Okay, what Jason meant to say before all his lies got in the way was:
Republicans are fighting on behalf of their SUPER-RICH DONORS for a government that works FOR THEM, and AGAINST the MIDDLE CLASS American family.
Like you fight for the Boot heel? Yay, can’t wait.
Possible sarcasm there.
Lol no they’re not
Yes, Santos is a stellar fraud ripping off the elderly & disabled veterans. Such an honest party.
Lies.
You voted AGAINST certifying the 2020 Presidential election. You sure it’s the AMERICAN people you’re working for? Cause it seems like you oppose the orderly transfer of power and favor The Big Lie. Some patriot you are.
-want to strip social security
-want to end Medicare
-give huge tax breaks to rich people
Do tell us all about your time as Missouri Attorney General, Eric (r).
Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].
Yesterday:
Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
The COVID tyrants and The Experts™️ were wrong about every significant decision for 2 years yet none of them will ever apologize or will ever admit their catastrophic mistakes.
Republicans died at higher rates of Covid because of liars like you
Can you explain how this will help us in the future?
That’s just ridiculous. Public health officials acted appropriately according to the best available information. Even if that later came to be seen as improper, that’s just the way it goes. Sometimes you just don’t know what you don’t know.
Eric Schmitt (r) slept through all of his science classes.
Eric Schitt is vaccinated.
Why do I know this?
Because he couldn’t become a multimillionaire sitting in the senate if he got sick, had long Covid, or worse, all the while instilling fear and propaganda to further his goal and scare up votes for him.
GFY….
Why are you crying about Covid precautions when your party is about to crash the economy by not paying our national debts?
Were they wrong? Your red wave didn’t come to fruition because y’all killed half of your base with lies. [….]
Actually, buddy, COVID deniers were wrong. Precautions saved lives. But you know that, don’t you. Just trying to play to the base.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. The Covid disinformation spread by people like you is responsible for more than 1 million US deaths.
1.3million dead Americans say what???
You got the vaccine. Are you going to publicly say that was wrong?
Shhh. His base can’t know this.
We don’t apologize to deplorables.
Your followers deserve better.
[….]
What is @EricLies lying about now?? Oh! The #TrumpCovid years and that whole bleach thing. #Missouri deserves better
Cannot not? What’s with the double negatives?
Ah, the power of the double negative.
Also, Eric (r) apparently slept through his English classes.
Speaking of tyrants…former MO AG Schmitt sued MO school districts over mask mandates, asked parents to send videos of schools who violated his mandate destroyed morale-turned parents against teachers instead of supporting districts during Covid.
[….]
“Covid tyrants”
You sound like someone who doesn’t believe millions of people didn’t die worldwide.
Including relatives of mine.
Please stop dishonoring their lives and their families and friends and loved ones.
I can’t even imagine how many people would have died had we done nothing. But continue going off. Over 1 million Americans dead. You guys don’t care.
Says the guy who sued school districts for trying to keep kids safe. You’re ok with children dying. The rest of us are not. But keep telling us what a good Christian you are. You make Hawley look good. And that’s not easy
Bullshit you lie.
There’s a reason there’s disinformation, it’s the fools like you.
You were vaccinated, I assume your children were as well. Enough with the lies from you and the rest of the GOP.
You’re such a tool
Don’t you ever get tired of being the Covid blow hard in charge? Big words with no facts = lies. That’s you, E.
Kindly fuck every conceivable manner & way off, you complete #Schmitthead.
You are the walking embodiment of a fool who thinks he’s smart.
Dunning-Kruger Effect.
POS Eric doesn’t understand how science works.
My god you mental midget. This is what Missourians get for electing this Josh Hawley devotee.
The “catastrophic mistake” was electing you to the senate. You are a nut job hillbilly.
You’re an idiot!
Still following the same BS. How many Missourians died because of your stupid politics.
You’re a complete nut. Congratulations on selling out.

Harry Truman wore many hats during his life — literally! Stetsons were a favorite of the president, wearing them during his daily walks from the White House.

How would you categorize trying to overturn an election? Power and control?
Sedition!
And your lawsuits against school mask mandates were not? Hypocrite.
Except private schools. Hypocrite indeed.
The lies you’re spreading about them are, yes.
Caring for your neighbor, not lying, and protecting the planet we all rely on for life, that’s just basic morality. Something you know nothing about.
This tweet brought to you by the man who signed the Abortion Ban in MO personally.
Maybe if more of your voters had worn masks the midterms would have gone better for you
Don’t forget bare arms!
Ah, the Missouri General Assembly.
See also: Abortion Rights (or the lack thereof). Hypocrite.
And how are you helping women and children? Thought not.
More “gaslighting” from the GOP.
Shut up. You won. We’re stuck with you for 6 years 🤮. Please try to do some good while you’re there.
The Junior Senator from Missouri: all about proving he can be worse than the Senior Senator from Missouri.
The other guy is the third senator from Virginia.
Banning abortions, birth control, books, transgender rights, interracial marriage, same sex marriage, etcetera is about what then exactly then?
Hypocrite. Come back when you no longer fight to control those of us with uteruses.
Accidentally true… the right-wing freakouts about this nonsense are absolutely about power and control. Keeping you confused and nervous about nothing while they pick your pockets.
Sir, your party is mandating dress codes and banning books. HUSH.
Imagine if they tried to regulate your body, or tell you who you can marry.
Do you ever have an original thought?
This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.
So is leading a coup on the Capitol. Doesn’t that bother you, Senator??
Very true. I’m curious if you had anything to do with China buying land in Missouri though? This should not be allowed. That lands needs to be taken away and auctioned.
Why? What benefit of power do you get from telling people things about their gas stoves? What is the giant payoff of that power?
LOL. Says the dude who’s all about ‘power and control’
I’m guessing you’re not seeing the irony with your previous actions sir?
The GOP wants abortion bans, contraception bans, book bans, speech bans. Now that’s about power and control.
Don’t worry when one party tries to overturn elections, tells kids which sports teams they can play on, bans books from libraries, and tells women they cannot show bare arms in the statehouse… that certainly isn’t about power and control.
What gas stove bans, liar?
are you that ridiculous lawsuit guy from Missouri suing public schools for publicity? YEAH, you are. this IS you! how did you get elected after pulling that stunt?
Weird how you like to watch people suffer medically.
Women’s attire…
When you’re not lying, you’re just mistaken.
And what is forced pregnancy and requirements for women to cover their bare arms about.
What about abortion bans like the one you signed a few months ago, Eric?
No one is banning gas stoves. Geesus, be better than the average republican politician. Don’t jump on the alarmist band wagon just because it rolls into town.
Too late.
So what does it say about Missouri where women DON’T have the right to bodily autonomy? What does it say about the fact that women legislators can’t have bare arms on the house floor?
Bans on medical freedom and women’s arms… also all about control.
Isn’t suing school districts about power and control?
Alarmism, you say?
Women not being able to make decisions about their bodies though…what’s that about?
Denying voting rights, denying women’s right to choose, denying women health services, trashing earned benefits (medicare and social security) is all about power and control
No those are Republican lies
I’d appreciate it if you’d try to resolve real issues like our contaminated well field here in st charles, mo. #prioritize
And you’re all about not doing your actual job
But controlling women’s bodies is not?
Rightwing male who voted to deny women the right of bodily sovereignty is heard complaining about his home appliance crisis.
Faux home appliance crisis.
This is an intentional lie. There is no ban on gas stoves and Schmitt knows it.
It is sad to see a US Senator from Missouri lie so blatantly.
I’m trying not to be tired of being alarmed by how awful and narcissist you are.
Still trying to figure out what you actually do because you definitely do not contribute to making laws, Senator.
How about abortion bans, book bans, and birth control?
The right to bare arms!
We see what you did there.
Culture war nonsense which you can fix, right ? How about banning abortion and books? Is that about power and control?
You lack honor and integrity.
That’s what you are about.
Every accusation is an admission of guilt with you.
Banning books, abortion, history, dress codes, teaching religion in schools, backing Russia over Ukrainian people and investigations on everything that they can. Yes, there is a power thing going on but it’s the republicans
…no one’s actually issuing a federal ban on gas stoves at the moment, we’ve known about the alleged health issues related to gas stoves for years, and most of us aren’t getting new appliances anytime soon.
[….]
Stoves are less-than-ideal culture-war fodder. As one colleague observed, Republican politicians are constantly trying to plug something new into the “they’re coming for your ____” outrage machine; today, it’s gas stoves….
[….]
Mark Alford (r) hasn’t made any substantive career change. Fancy that.
Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
The mental gymnastics the media and the left are going through to ignore the Biden classified docs while simultaneously crucifying Trump is just one more example of the absurd double standards that exist today. 5:20 PM · Jan 12, 2023
You haven’t been watching/listening to the news. BTW, do YOU condemn Trump’s handling of classified documents as you have Biden’s? Be fair, Congressman.
With an I.Q. as high as yours, The mental gymnastics you must go through just to tie you shoes…
-Wait, what… They’re Velcro!?
>The mental gymnastics you must go through just to put on your shoes must be tiring
Heh.
This was then. Eric Burlison (r), August 2022:
Eric Burlison @EricBurlison
It’s disgusting how the Obama and now Biden administration have weaponized our judicial system against Trump. They investigated him and put him through hell over the bogus Steele Dossier, and now they do THIS. This swamp must be drained. These are the actions of a banana republic 5:27 AM · Aug 9, 2022
Some of the response back then:
What’s disgusting is a lawless President who escapes accountability again and again because of his money, power, and propaganda, and folks like you defending him.
You still a Trump Republican now Eric? Tik tok.
Still is, evidently.
Local man running for Congress can’t think of anything to say.
Huh? The bits of your tweet that I can make any sense of are, in fact, untrue. Obama & Biden had nothing to do w the TON of evidence of Russian collusion in 2016 that had nothing to do w the preliminary notes that made up the “Steele Dossier.” Couldn’t you squeeze Hunter in here?
Yeah. I agree. It’s really weird how the legal system is so hard on criming criminals who commit crimes. And as far as the Steele dossier goes, you do know Manafort is telling everyone and the bartender that he was giving info to a Russian agent to “settle his debts”, right?
Someone who doesn’t know what “banana republic” means shouldn’t be running for office.
Please open a history book sometime.
WHAT? Trump? The person that planned an insurrection because he LOST an election!
No problem if mob HUNG his VP! Incited violence & trashing Capitol!
Took & kept top secret documents illegally!
Wow. You are off course. Trump is a CRIMINAL.
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
Mark Alford @markalfordkc
[….] Hours after I sent the letter demanding @TheJusticeDept appoint a special prosecutor AG Garland announced the appointment of Robert Hur. We need answers now.
Who had access?
Did Biden cover this up ahead of the midterms?
Did the National Archives demand a return of these documents? Did Biden say he didn’t have them?
You have a problem though. They’re doing this “by the book”. That being the case, we know nothing will come of it. It’s pretty smart. I mean, what else can the GOP demand once the special council comes back favorably for Biden? Which seems likely to happen.
Yeah, you know, that pesky NOT obstructing justice thing.
Wanna be dictator Trump is proud of you.
So your demands to AG Garland are responsible for his appointing a special prosecutor. Wow, you really pack a lot of power for a freshman. [….]
That was probably sarcasm.
So you really think because you called the justice dept they started an investigation. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Good lord! Another damn narcissist! Mark thinks he controls the justice dept.
Does Alford’s pathetic ass really think they answered HIM? Hilarious
You know what, Mark? You’re brand new. You still have a chance to model yourself after anyone than Jim Jordan. Please represent ALL of us & don’t be a stupid squakbox like him. Do work.
Too late.

Yesterday, the FBI raided President Trump’s residence. This is a ridiculous abuse of power by the FBI and the DOJ. We, the American people, deserve to see the warrant for ourselves. 10:02 PM · Aug 9, 2022
Mark Alford @markalfordkc
The partisan DOJ will callously sit by and watch videos of a sitting President’s son commit multiple crimes, but instead of taking action, they spend their energy executing raids on former President’s homes. 10:02 PM · Aug 9, 2022
Mark Alford @markalfordkc
This is just another leftist attempt to disparage the President, and will go down in history as an utter and complete political midterm election-year stunt. 10:02 PM · Aug 9, 2022

I’m old enough to remember when flight times were reliable. The FAA has taken a nose dive under Mayor Pete. 11:43 AM · Jan 11, 2023
Some of the responses:
That’s it, get elected, then right to the ad hominem
Please provide specifics as to what Pete did today to delay flight times (or any other time)? Do you have data and facts that prove Pete has caused flight delays? Just asking because this tweet seems like one thing (flight delays) has nothing to do with the other.
You should call your congressman
Someone won the internets today.
You have also taken a huge nose dive since taking you’re oath. You said when you began this that the truth matters. I guess like all republicans you lied. [….]
A system wide computer crash has nothing to do with him you clown.
I’m trying to figure out what Buttigieg did to cause this disruption today. I’m looking forward to you calling the hearings after your finish with Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Priorities, priorities.
So when do you get fitted for your tinfoil hat?
Heh.
Falling right in line with your ridiculous party friends I see. Last I checked the head of the FAA was appointed by Trump [….]
Mayor Pete? Are you three years old? Pathetic hack
Just when I didn’t think someone could top Hartzler when to comes to do nothing, propaganda BS, along comes a TV hack to prove me wrong
I am old enough to remember when a whole country was shut down during Covid under a incompetent pussy grabber named Donald J Trump.
Are you really that stupid?????
Congratulations on your MO House seat Mark! You were the only reason I watched Fox 4! Miss you! You have to protect us from the globalist’s agenda now! #DefundWEF #PoliticiansAgainstWEFagenda
Eric Burlison @EricBurlison
Biden TOOK CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS from the White House and they were found at a BIDEN think tank.
What were in those documents? Will the FBI raid his home? 10:52 AM · Jan 10, 2023
Individuals in the responses get it:
It’s so depressing that you represent me in congress……
You’re smarter and better than this, Eric. I know you are. I’m sure this won’t be the only time I will have to say this.
Assumes a fact not in evidence.
Cool to see you suddenly caring about classified documents, though. Does being this big of a hypocrite bring you any shame or embarrassment? Serious question.
wow! I knew you went full dishonesty shill mode but this is a new low. You know who turned in the documents? Biden’s people! You know who was looking for it? No one.
No need to raid his home — he quickly and willingly returned them, much unlike the former president
Now, let’s play “Spot the Difference” and I bet you could apply critical thinking to this situation instead of intentionally misleading your followers for “political points.” You’re responsible for removing nuance from conversations and I am not impressed. Leaders should lead.
There was a song on a children’s television show…
Why would they road his home? He already turned the documents in.
OMG – let me tell ya about Trump
Listen, we here in Missouri already know you’re not that bright, but can you not embarrass us in front of the rest of the country?
Just pretend to pass bills, cash your lobbyist checks, etc. Your re-election is pretty well guaranteed without having to further disgrace Missouri.
Sadly…
It’s being investigated dim wit (by a Trump appointee). If Trump had returned the docs he took when asked, he might not be in the mess he’s in.
Oh look. Eric with the talking points for the intellectually dishonest. What a shocker.
