This is going to become Eric Schmitt’s (r) favorite whine:
Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
The most recent Democrat campaign against Justice Thomas is about trying to intimidate him and the Supreme Court’s originalist majority, not ethics. 1:15 PM · May 5, 2023
Some of the responses:
Okay so why is the complaints being raised about ethics then?
This is a parody account, right?
Same difference.
Why is it that the lower courts follow and abide by ethical standards but our highest does not? How can we trust him to interpret the constitution when he has been filling out forms incorrectly for years? Why aren’t you pushing for ethical standards?
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon. Congratulations to @GenFlynn and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving! 3:08 PM · Nov 25, 2020

William Barr’s Justice Department (but not the prosecutors on the case) told a federal judge it doesn’t believe it can prove a charge that Mike Flynn HAS ADMITTED TO IN OPEN COURT. 2:06 PM · May 7, 2020

Yes, we are. We have been for almost four years.

This afternoon:
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
After listening to the Dems’ 20+ hours of argument and the rebuttal arguments from @realDonaldTrump, I’ve got lots of questions for the Dems. Like this one: Why did Schiff lie about his contact with the “whistleblower”? More to come! 1:33 PM · Jan 28, 2020
As always, there is much hilarity in the responses. They ain’t buying it:
But you don’t have any questions for Bolton, or Pompeo, or Trump? You’re the worst senator, and that’s a hard title to earn.
I’ve got questions:
Q1: Why did Trump ask Ukraine to do him a favor – check into Biden, when that was old news & already resolved?
Q2: Why was he ONLY interested in them announcing an investigation?
Q3: Why did he withhold the $ from Ukraine?
Huh, Josh?!!!
Why are we not asking the president why he illegally withheld aide from Ukraine in order to benefit his campaign? #politicalhack
@HawleyMO, I’m sorry, what exactly was the defense? All I’ve heard so far.. Bidens, Bidens, Bidens, oh, they threw in Obama, a lecture on impeachment and all the half truths and selective testimony taken out of context. BUT, I have heard no defense for #trumpIsACorruptLiar
What are you even talking about? Focus on the trial and stop the whataboutism
You’re worried about fiction instead of facts. Typical of republicans these days.
Mostly, we’d like to have some genuine first-hand information about the conversation. Bolton was there. He knows more than anyone we’ve heard from. It sure would be helpful to hear his side of the story.
#BoltonTestify
You are missing the point and just parroting the last few whitehouse points that were written on a map with a sharpie.. the oath needs to be replaced. New idea attach 50k Volts to each bollock and swear on that instead. If you lie you get a shock .. how to sort out politicians
Oh, FFS. This isn’t hard. Come to Kansas City and let your constituents ask questions of you, Senator. I’d say more to come, but you only show up on Fox News.
Have you tried using a bank of microphones as bait?
Call the witnesses; produce the documents. We deserve to know the whole truth. Doesn’t sound to me like Schiff did have contact. But does it matter? The whistleblower was just a tip; the facts have supported those claims.
@HawleyMO, where you sitting in on the trial? Do they have a little box in the senate room that the impeachment trial is playing on while Hannity gives his views? I’m thinking you didn’t see the first half of the trial. IGNORANCE is no excuse for the law!!!!
That would be funny if there actually was a little senators’ table.
Why did @realDonaldTrump lie about knowing Parnas? Why did @realDonaldTrump say to “take her out” about Yavonovitch? And why was the State Dept worried about her safety when they wisked her out Ukraine in the middle of the night?
This is performance art right? Like a bad Andy Kauffman/Tony Clifton thing. There is no way you could be this craven and devoid of integrity.
Tony Clifton had a better haircut.
Knock yourself out. By the way, Americans want to hear from John Bolton.
More to come = waiting for #MoscowMitch to tell me what to say.
Missouri deserves so much better. Impeach and Remove.
Better question, what is trump hiding?
I have a question… who is the hackiest hack, you or @SenJoniErnst?
Let Bolton Speak
Resign
Witnesses.
Yes, and what is the current market price of tea in China?
Call the witnesses. Produce the documents.
Do you have any questions about the President illegally impounding military aid to a vulnerable ally to coerce them into announcing a fake investigation to interfere in our elections on his behalf?
Why don’t you care about Trump’s abuse, betrayal, and corruption? #DoYourJob
How about, “Why did #ImpeachedForever #FakePresident think it was ok to bully a foreign government desperate for funds already allocated by congress, and then lie about it?” The good thing is that you are actually young enough to find another job when you are voted out of office.
Let’s call this exactly what it is: a cover-up.
What a ridiculously fraudulent partisan sham whitewash cover-up being executed by Trump and GOP.
Nobody believes you, Joshie. You’ve lied to us too many times.
#HucksterHawley who wants to be president in 2024 panders to the Trump base keeping their conspiracies and hocum alive. #GOPCorruptionOverCountry
You are a disgusting excuse for an American. You do not deserve the job of Senator. You should resign in shame.
You took an oath to defend the Constitution, and now when your defense is needed, you join the assault on our most sacred document. Why don’t you care what trump did?
Distract. Distract. Distract. Flashing objects at your base isn’t respectful. Cluttering the discussion can only hurt your cause. Schiff isn’t being impeached. Trump is. Lead or leave. And, stop having high school sophomores managing your messaging.
@realDonaldTrump
Not high school sophomores, a middle school dance decorating committee (volunteer). High school sophomores would be doing a much better job.
Great….now, how about you answer some questions for your constituents? You clearly have the time judging by your appearances on Fox News and your tweets yet we never get a response.
Why would you vote not to see witnesses when 70% of Americans would like to see testimony?
You’re lying and it the whistleblower is irrelevant. The Biden’s are irrelevant. The only thing that matters here is what Trump did and he’s guilty. If you don’t vote to remove, I hope you’ll be a one term senator.
He’ll have all the money he needs in 2024.
Where’s your moral compass? It seems to be MIA.
#OneTermJosh #OneTermHawley
I can’t believe there are enough gullible voters here for you to have a job. You’re a liar and a shill for your dear leader.
Deflection is such a played out tactic, Josh – is your case THAT weak?
Have you noticed @RoyBlunt is not tweeting? Maybe he’s at least trying to appear impartial.
You should just stop. It’s making you look dumb.
Look?
Dude, you like the tweaker who steals tools out of your garage and then comes back to help you look for it…shameless.
You’re a special kind of stupid, aren’t you? #RemoveandIndictTrumpNOW
The junior senator for Missouri had his delicate sensibilities mussed this evening.
Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Schiff & Co end as they began: insulting senators, calling @realDonaldTrump a dictator, and disparaging the will of the voters 8:11 PM · Jan 24, 2020
Hmmm. A royalist toady. Go figure.
As always, the responses:
Schiff is asking us all to remember that truth matters. You may have forgotten, Josh, but the nation hasn’t.
This isn’t about the 2016 election. This is about a man who betrayed the nation.
Shame you are following him like a lapdog.
#truthmatters
Or, a toady.
I’m a constituent. I just called your office and left a message. Your most solemn obligation to this Republic is to vote to remove this aspiring autocrat from office. You’ll be remembered for nothing else.
You did not watch the impeachment. There was plenty of evidence. In a criminal trial this would be a slam dunk.
To oppose these article means you have a fundamentally flawed understanding of American history or governance.
As a veteran, I am completely insulted of your fealty to a man and not our Constution. We want documents and witnesses NOW!
And you end as you began, ignoring all evidence presented and disparaging the public who wants to hear from the witnesses Trump silenced.
At least you’re consistent. Never did your job as AG. Not doing it as our Senator.
Ouch.
You’re not voting on whether or not you’re offended or if President Snowflake got his feelings hurt. You’re supposed to be voting on the truth. Which would be significantly easier to do if you would allow witnesses and evidence.
Why are you protecting this man? He could not be less worthy. Oh wait.. you’re That Josh Hawley.
Truth matters. Apparently it hurts too if all you got out of this is a presumed insult.
You know what else disparages voters? Election interference.
71% of voters want witnesses.
51% of voters want Trump removed.
The will of the voters wanted Hillary.
Well if it walks like a dictator and talks like a dictator…
Oh their FEELINGS were hurt with some words and not at all by the THREAT to their heads CUT off and put on spikes by the person THEY are defending?
Ok… What color is sky on the planet you’re from.
Says the MO Senator whose seat was bought and paid for by Dark Money Super PACs. Lev Parmas donated a lot of money to Missouri campaigns right Josh?
Spoken like a professional bootlicker who didn’t open his mind one centimeter to honor the oath of impartiality he took before the trial. Good luck, @HawleyMO. America heard everything.
Schiff is asking us to remember that truth matter. The Constitution matters. Your president used extortion for his own personal gain. He is a pathological liar. He thinks he is above the law. That is all the traits of a dictator. Too bad the GOP sees fit to cover up his crimes.
As if Trump doesn’t call names, jealous of a 16 year old girl for being picked as “Person of the Year” has derogatory names for everyone that dares to “hand it back to him” when he bullies. So spare the poor, poor pitiful, Trump is a victim BS.
Damn. You are unbelievable. This is America. Trials have documents and witnesses. And jurors are there to look at the evidence and make a call. The evidence is overwhelming. This will be the vote that everyone remembers Remove Trump.
I’m a constituent! “Give America a fair trial. She’s worth it.” #Fairtrial #WitnessesAndDocuments
The wannabe dictator who lacks the insight that suggests he wants to do whatever he wants just like a dictator. Newsflash! The American people are the real jurors!
The voters wanted a criminal for President? That seems odd…
But I guess they did. Trump was a criminal for decades before he ran for President
Omg. I watched the entire close. That *that* is what you took from him is evidence of a juvenile, superficial, and insipid “thinking”. You are the Peter Principle embodied.
truth hurts
if there is only one branch of government, by default the mode of government is a monarchy
You’re a constitution lawyer? You should go back and read the constitution, think you missed some parts.
Trump lost the election by 2,868,686 votes.
Yep.
Your constituents are watching. What I saw was Adam Schiff and Democrats standing up for the rule of law and truth and the constitution. All I’ve seen out of Republican Senators is whining about having to listen. You are an embarrassment to Missouri.
Yeah, whatever.
So,here’s your chance. Vote to admit witnesses/evidence.Use them to exonerate the impeached president,if that’s what they support.If exonerated,then acquit.
Acquittal 1st,before this process,concedes his guilt and he will never be exonerated.
Uphold your oath.
Truth hurts, huh?
As for the will of the voters, need I remind you that your boy lost the popular vote and that without cheating, he will lose the next election too?
They’re disparaging the actions of a tyrant.
What do you call a leader of a country who disregards the law, disregards his advisors, disdains government norms & simply does whatever he wants because he knows he has castrated the Senate by his bullying? A dictator
Schiff destroyed the President’s defense before it even started. Fantastic work from Schiff, he’s a true patriot.
Quit grandstanding and do your job.
And on and on…
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
