Last month:

Eric Burlison
December 7, 2023
I am excited and honored to give Donald J. Trump my total endorsement and support in his 2024 presidential campaign.
No president has been more impactful in my lifetime than President Trump. For decades, presidents talked about objectives that never materialized. Under the leadership of President Trump, we became an energy independent nation. Under President Trump’s leadership, peace had been brought to the Middle East through the Abraham Accords. Under President Trump’s vision, we were able to grow the economy at an unprecedented rate. And under his direction, the southern border was actually closed.
President Trump is a patriot who risked his fortune and his reputation for love of his country and in return, he was falsely investigated on bogus charges and experienced an insurrection from the deep state to remove him from office. The prosecutions against him today are obvious shams and unAmerican. If we are to save our country from devolving into a tyrannical nation like we see in third world countries, we must correct these wrongs and re-elect President Trump. If we don’t, history will record that we allowed our country to extinguish the rule of law.
[….]

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.

Some of the responses:

I prefer to maintain our current form of democracy – a constitutional republic. The majority of REPUBLICANS that worked for Trump keep telling us how dangerous he is – I believe them. I will never vote for someone that planned a coup against our government or who will not accept the peaceful transition of power. It has been proven time and time again that he LIED about a stolen election.

How in your mind can you think it’s okay to vote for someone who let so many die of COVID? Someone with over 90 indictments? Someone who started in insurrection? Denied election results? It’s not a witch hunt. Trump (and Burlison) unfit to lead.

[….] Gawww a million people passed away and folks still rally around the anti mask, anti vax, election deniers. They just won’t read, they just keep listening to Tucker and Sean.. even the new speaker thinks SEDITIONISTS who stormed the capital should be protected from our justice dept. what the heck?
It’s so frikkin sad to see. So much misinformation. [….]

I think if you are still pro trump today 12/13/2023, something is terribly wrong with your values.

Does it bother you that he attempted to overturn the last presidential election?

Wow. Trump sold us all out to the highest foreign bidder while in office, is demented and talks about being a Dictator on day one. We see you have no courage or sense of what’s right for Democracy. We will vote you all out.

You should be ashamed, Eric. You are the one who clearly has no regard for the rule of law.

Traitor supporting a traitor

We moved from Billy Long to Eric Burlison. I fail to see that any improvement has been made.

So you sold your soul!

91 criminal indictments

Trump just needs 11780 votes [….]

We see what you did there.

I’m sorry that you are feeling so threatened by the orange menace that you have to throw morality away. Is that why you ran for office in the first place, to end Democracy in the USA? Why support 91-felonies candidate? Why also did you vote to NOT expel George Santos? Again, some morality makes that decision much easier, and the resulting answer is different than your calculation. Do better.

Maga=nazi

Of course you endorse him. He is the ideal candidate for all fake Christians.

I don’t have time to refute each lie you spread in this piece of crap. Trump is a criminal, twice impeached and 4 times indicted on 91 felonies. He lost a fair, legitimate election and attempted to spur an insurrection to stay in power and overturn the constitution. Your endorsement shows you are no better than him. Have you no shame?

No. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

you’re just another MAGA nazi who should never be allowed to hold any political office. You support a dictator wannabe and a traitor, and that’s about as un-American as it comes. [….]

Disgusting! Read the indictments. He’s a lying draft dodger. Resign you complicit pandering lying hack.

You are delusional and morally bankrupt just like the guy you’re supporting. Traitor.

You’re pathetic

What a complete load of crap. This post rids you of any credibility you may have had.

If you haven’t committed treason yet, I’m sure you will soon

Last week:

I am reminded of the country music song by [….[ “If you’re going through hell, keep on going” Jim Jordan is the only way to land this plane for the GOP, he is the peoples’ choice for Speaker of the House.

Evidently not.

Missed it by that much.

Elect clowns, expect a circus.

Previously:

This. Exactly. This. (October 4, 2023)

When all you ever do is feed the beast it will never be enough (October 5, 2023)

You voted for the rule, schmuck (October 6, 2023)

Maybe you should elect a Speaker at some point? (October 12, 2023)

This hasn’t aged well (October 13, 2023)

What else would you expect, Ann (r)? (October 14, 2023)

You asked (October 15, 2023)

There is no such thing as a “moderate” republican – part the infinity (October 16, 2023)

You are the choices you make (October 16, 2023)

Sycophants gotta sycophant.

Mark Alford @RepMarkAlford
America deserves to hear these tapes immediately.
[….]
6:07 PM · Jun 12, 2023

Some of the responses:

I’m excited to hear what the next turn in the Republicans weaponizing government against a private citizen to hurt his dad politically is after these tapes turn out not to exist or resemble Grassley’s description of them.

Allegedly doing so much heavy lifting, my grandpa’s mule team would be impressed. Please have some respect for your constituents who don’t fall for every Faux News link.

Do you get tired of falling on your face and sounding like a fool? Missouri residents want to know.

You all need to start being sued for libel at this point. Using your office to continually defame not only Biden but his family. I mean, if you acted like you gave a shit about Kushner getting 2 billion in foreign cash I might listen to you but you’re just partisan schills

Missouri deserves someone who will work to help people not a partisan hack who soul purpose is to spread lies to gullible MAGA rubes

You can’t because they don’t exist. Unlike the smoking gun tapes of Trump admitting that he knew what he did was wrong. He is guilty of violating the classified records legislation he supported and signed into law. Hypocrites, every one of you.

And again, you do nothing but tweet. Pandering to your base is getting really pathetic. You prove every day that you are useless to this state

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
15 audio recordings with Hunter.

2 recordings with then-VP Joe Biden.

My colleagues and I on @GOPoversight will leave no stone unturned in our investigation into the Biden family’s influence-peddling schemes.
9:29 AM · Jun 13, 2023

Some of the responses:

Anti-American extremist Eric Burlison has unsubstantiated gossip he got thirdhand via notorious liars.

[….]
you just keeping throwing crap

No surprise with this Tweet. Deflection from today’s arraignment of DJT facing 37 charges related to mishandling classified material.

Shorter Eric: hasn’t heard a second of these. But yeah, keep fishing without a license little buddy.

How ’bout taking a look at the $$$ the Saudis gave Kushner?

Damn, never thought I’d miss Billy Long

Are you all just going to say you have these “recordings” or are we going to hear them? You all said you’d release them then nothing. Silence. This smells like bullshit

In 3, 2, 1…

Anything else of note happen in the last few days?

Just asking.

This afternoon from Eric Burlison (r):

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
Having a “family-friendly activity,” drag shows, and a performance by “Crystal Methyd” all on the same stage & in the same afternoon is wrong. Kids shouldn’t be seeing this stuff!

The City of Springfield and Greene County Health should be ashamed to sponsor this event.
1:15 PM · Jun 10, 2023

Give it a rest, you pearl-clutching busybody.

Rhonda Santis works as a drag queen name in Florida, Crystal Methyd works for Missouri. You go with what you’re famous for.

“…all on the same stage & in the same afternoon…” Why, next they’ll be mixing cotton and polyester fibers in their clothing. The nerve.

Different shows for different crowds? Do tell.

Some of the responses:

Take your kids to Hooters, instead.

I bet you watched the Munsters as a Kid. So maybe you should take a seat.
[….]

Apparently the Munsters mixed fibers, too.

We have one in Kansas City today too. Come on by, homophobe. Cleanse yourself.

We had a Pride Festival in Warrensburg on June 3rd. I had a beer from the bar after standing out in the heat covering and photographing the bigots with signs across the street.

The City of Springfield and Greene county as a whole should be ashamed to have such an ignorant bigot representing them.

There’s that.

1. Steal underpants.
2. ?
3. Profit!

Yesterday:

Rep. Eric Burlison @RepEricBurlison
The FBI admits they have a document that proves there was a bribery scheme, but they refuse to turn it over to the Oversight Committee.

What more do you need to know?
9:36 AM · May 12, 2023

Some of the responses:

Kushner. What more do you need to know?

Facts. I want to know facts. Reality stuff. Not the crap your colleagues tried to foist on us that suggests but doesn’t prove anything.

Profit!

Post your proof

This is a lie

Sure they do Eric. We believe you. Haha

Clown says what?

Wait! The FBI is finally going to show what they have on Jared’s $2 Billion dollars?

Or Ivanka’s $600 million?

False. They never admitted anything.

How is it that you “know” this, but don’t have access to and have never seen said document?

Just another lying Republican, so many

My question is:

Why can’t you just run on a platform? Why can’t you stand for something other than fear & lies?

Profit!

Sure, Jan…

Lie. But you know all you need to do is repeat and allegation over and over even with no proof and your minions will believe it.

That you still have no evidence of anything?

Oh really? Who from the FBI said this? When did they say that? Where is that documented?

You are a pathological liar. It’s gross.

No Eric. That is incorrect.

Oh c’mon Eric. You used to be more normal. When did you lose your mind?

You had to ask?

The GOP lies so often. Even if this was true no one will believe. Your pearl clutching ass needs to sit down and stfu.
