Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

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

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”

Today, From Vicky Hartzler (r):

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
On #ReligiousFreedomDay, we are grateful for our God-given rights to worship freely as our Founding Fathers intended.

Recent events have shown how important it is to preserve and protect these cherished freedoms. Coming together starts with our faith in God — not the government.
[….]
10:33 AM · Jan 16, 2021

“…Coming together starts with our faith in God — not the government.”

Some of the responses:

“Separation of church and state” was also a tenet the founding fathers believed in.

This is entirely unprofessional and insulting for you to say.
We need political leaders.
Not lap dogs for another organization that doesn’t pay taxes.
You need to resign if you can’t see that.

This is emphatically against the very idea of the US government in which religion – yours, mine, theirs – stays outside the halls of power. For shame.

Maybe you should go to seminary school rather than service in secular government.

Separation of church and state ….Sound familiar?

In case you missed it, Christians are ruining Christianity.

God didn’t give us the right of freedom of religion; our Constitution did. And if you think your religion is more important than our government, maybe you shouldn’t be an elected official.

Reminder, freedom of religion is indeed freedom from religion. Also our founding fathers wanted a secular government genius.

Ignorance runs pretty high on their side.

Did the fairies at the end of your garden tell you this ?

I assume you believe in fairies as well as God ?

Who’s religion? Gov does not belong in religion nor religion in government. The constitution already protects religion. We have seen politicians fail to protect the constitution when it failed to suit their needs. Protect the constitution first. Religious freedom follows

Because theocracies are such beacons of peace and freedom….

Freedom OF religion DOES include freedom FROM religion.

Jefferson stated it well to the Bey of Tripoli: We are not a Christian Nation.

The whole point of Religious Freedom Day is to be able to choose how or if you practice religion, not to push Christianity above other religions. What the actual hell is wrong with your brain?? Separation of Church and State happened for a reason

Umm our founding fathers came here to avoid having everybody under one religion. Maybe ,just a thought, you should try reading the constitution of the United States of America.

There have been recent events where Christianity was prohibited?

Yeah. By Evangelical churches, primarily… They violated the First Commandment and worship 45**

Millions of Americans do not want your religious ideologies anywhere near legislative decisions that affect our lives.

I don’t believe in your God. I also have the freedom the believe that.

Trying to further radicalize your base in the name of God. Smdh. You have no business holding a position in our government if you never learned about separation of church and state.

Would those be the recent events that Vicky helped spur on by casting doubt on Biden’s election win? The events that ended with a cop getting killed? Are those the recent events that we’re talking about?

Because I distinctly remember God saying something about not lying.

You need to re-read the founding documents of our nation because you have missed entirely the critical distinction of the separation between church and state. Your words and deeds are another reason to put Christ back in Christian not just Christmas.

Evangelicals never impose Christianity on themselves. Amirite, Vicky!

Great but January 17 is hereby declared as freedom from religion day.

Your last phrase sounds as if you think we all have to believe in God in order to find goodness and connection with our fellow human beings.
I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way. We don’t live in, nor want, a theocracy.

So you’re praising the founding fathers…while railing against the secular governing system they founded. WTAF. Conflicted much?

Are all your constituents Christian??

Free to resign.

Nope! The constitution is what rules America. And it says a separation of church & state.
Full stop

When will we be enlightened enough to have freedom from religion.

Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion.

Keep your “god” to yourself.

What about the freedom to not worship a god(s)? Some of us don’t and still feel unity with our fellow Americans. Coming together is based on our commitment to the ideals of country and Constitution.

Recent events and violence stoked by church leaders within the Christian Nationalist evangelical movement.

To hell with that.

So what you’re saying is that you’re not actually willing to abide by your oath of office?

There’s that.

Resign

Who’s god?

This is extremely dangerous rhetoric.

Keep YOUR religion out of my gov’t. Ya know, like the Constitution says

Vicky Hartzler voted against:

Restoring the Voting Rights Act
Providing disaster relief to Puerto Rico
Combating brutality and racial discrimination by police
Expanding ACA
Raising minimum wage to $15

She needs to get out of government so she can spend more time with her faith.

Oh put a sock in it, lady.

You version of Christianity is nothing like mine. In fact, your cult should have no say in our government.

What part of “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” do you not understand?

I am tired of hearing about your faith. Jesus this, Jesus that…you invoke his name to justify actions that are craven, down right depraved. And for what? What do you get out of it?

It’s disgusting. If you could feel shame you would.

But you can’t.

You should probably delete this…and resign.

And on and on….

Wait, you were trying to cancel the true results of an election

Sucks to be an insurrectionist.

4:21 PM · Jan 14, 2021

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.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday, via Twitter:

How angelic.

Senator Hawley Press Office @SenHawleyPress
“Many, many citizens in Missouri have deep concerns about election integrity,” Hawley writes.

“They have a right to be heard in Congress. And as their representative, it is my duty to speak on their behalf. That is just what I did last week.”
[….]
2:54 PM · Jan 13, 2021

What an asshole.

Some of the responses:

Joshua, the majority of Missourians do not have deep concerns about the election.

You’d know that if you ever step foot here.

Your duty is to honor your oath to the Constitution–which means upholding our electoral process–even if your base believes the lies you told them.

After you have fully swallowed the Big Lie, the only choice is to keep lying. You can’t turn back once you’ve gone this far.

“Many, many citizens in Missouri have been lied to non-stop about election integrity.”

“They have a right to hear the truth. And as their representative, it is my duty to speak truth to them. But when the truth and my political ambitions are at odds, truth loses.”

@HawleyMO either doesn’t understand how the First Amendment works or assumes that his constituents do not understand how the first amendment works. Either way is frustrating and disconcerting.

So I can understand; you exhort the mob but when the mob becomes lawless you stand for the principle that the mob is being lawless about so that violence is overcome

“I will not bow to a lawless mob, or allow criminals to drown out the legitimate concerns of my constituents”

keep dreaming… it’s good to have fantasies

Typically what happens when their leaders LIE to them. It’s the self-licking ice cream cone.

Hawley didn’t bow to a lawless mob – he saluted them.

And that tells the whole story.

How many tours of the capitol did he give after the photo shoot?

They have concerns because you lied to them and told them they should have concerns.

Tell them you lied. Tell them the truth about the election. Tell them you deliberately incited insurrection to advance your political career. Resign. Go to jail.

Do your duty.

Missourians have a right not to have their senator spreading seditious lies.

They have deep concerns because y’all freaking told them to have deep concerns. It’s your job to tell them the truth. If 70% of your constituents think the sky is pink, no it’s not your job to introduce a bill stating so. It’s your job to tell them it’s not.

“Irregardless” of what he will say,
Josh has thrown his whole future away.
Even @Hallmark is woke
to the fact he’s a joke.
Insurrection: a poor hand to play.
Although Hawley is but 41,
his political future is done.
[….]

Your staff who helped you write this will never be able to clean off the blood from their hands.

Out, out, damn Trump.

I’m your constituent. Joe Biden won a fair election. If anyone has concerns, it’s bc you lied & misled them. There’s been no evidence of voter fraud affecting the outcome of this election. You are smart enough to know that & chose to mislead & damage democracy for political gain

well sparky, they have concerns ’cause you keep lying to them about a “steal” that didn’t happen. You have that Ivy League Degree, surely even you can figure out that the solution to that problem is not to amplify that lie further, & rather find the courage to tell MO the truth

What he did was an embarrassment to all Missourians. There is no sugar coating it. He attempted to subvert democracy in a free and fair election. If I rob a bank, I cant claim it was to raise concerns about interest rates because I wear a shirt that says lower interest rates.

Please do explain how 60+ courts with experienced judges got it all wrong but Genius Boy Josh Hawley got it all right.

‘Cause he says he’s a “Constitutional lawyer.”

Politics would have a lot more integrity if you weren’t participating, Josh.

Dayam. That one left a mark.

They have concerns since they believed lies from Trump, GOP, wacko lawyers, and right wing media over the 64 lost court cases. Just because you didn’t like how some states made it safer to vote during the pandemic doesn’t mean their votes should be thrown out.

Most people just concerned about face painted thugs killing people inside the Capitol. Everything else pales in comparison.

I have a deep concern about your residence and it is shared by millions of us.

Resign

Shhh, we know what you are.

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…

This is your periodic reminder that every elected official who says there was significant election fraud is lying and knows he/she is lying. It is effectively the same as ObamawasborninKenya; an intentional lie told for the purpose of eroding the legitimate United States’s Gov’t.

Donald Trump, meta, permanent suspension, social media, Twitter

Here it is:

Company
Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump
By Twitter Inc.
Friday, 8 January 2021

After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.

In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.

However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement.

The below is a comprehensive analysis of our policy enforcement approach in this case.

Overview

On January 8, 2021, President Donald J. Trump tweeted:

“The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”

Shortly thereafter, the President tweeted:

“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”

Due to the ongoing tensions in the United States, and an uptick in the global conversation in regards to the people who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks. After assessing the language in these Tweets against our Glorification of Violence policy, we have determined that these Tweets are in violation of the Glorification of Violence Policy and the user @realDonaldTrump should be immediately permanently suspended from the service.

Assessment

We assessed the two Tweets referenced above under our Glorification of Violence policy, which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

This determination is based on a number of factors, including:

President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an “orderly transition” on January 20th.
The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending.
The use of the words “American Patriots” to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol.
The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election.
Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.
As such, our determination is that the two Tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so.

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

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): own it

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.

4th Congressional, Capitol breach, electoral college, sedition, social media, Twitter, Vicky Hartzler

Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

This morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
What was already a sobering process was heightened by the appalling lawlessness yesterday that desecrated our beautiful Capitol and threatened our lives. In the end we the Congress fulfilled our hollowed duty. We thoroughly debated objections to some state’s electors and voted.
11:19 AM · Jan 7, 2021

Ultimately, Joe Biden was certified as President-elect. I accept that and commit to working with him, Vice President Harris, and my colleagues to move America forward. I welcome President-elect’s pledge to work for all Americans and will hold him to it.

Unlike the current occupant.

There is much opportunity to find common ground and Americans are facing many challenges that need to be addressed. They deserve representatives who work together towards finding solutions. That is what I will do – not compromising principles, but finding areas of common ground.

Prove it. We’ve been waiting for over a decade.

Yesterday was a dark day in America but today is a new day and our country is still the beacon of hope, opportunity, and freedom in this world.

It will take decades to recover from the damage.

I am thankful to have the opportunity to represent the good people of Missouri’s 4th District and work for them to preserve America’s greatness.

Some of the responses:

You are a leader of domestic terrorists and rather than tell your mob they are wrong and to stand down—you have REFUSED now on three separate occasions since yesterday’s terrorist attack to affirm that the election was not stolen.

You invite more violence with these words.

Anything to keep those farm subsidies rolling in, huh?

That is an interesting way to phrase “I was on the side of sedition but it got out of hand and we lost so now let’s all move on and get along”

But if you’re willing to compromise and promote my loved ones right to marry and live their life as their true selves then let’s go

We will never forget that the false narrative of “a stolen election” drove yesterdays violence, that you amplified that falsehood and that you would have set aside the will of the people based on that narrative. 62 courts including SCOTUS deciding against it wasn’t enough for you

That “appalling lawlessness” you’re condemning was modeled very nicely by you and Matt Gaetz and friends when you stormed the SCIF to get into a hearing you weren’t supposed to be in (and called a press conference to make sure it made the news)

The lawlessness was incited by the GOP who lied about election irregularities in order to rile up their base. Those lies have consequences. An appropriate response would be to accept responsibility and promise not to participate in disinformation in the future.

Does Vicky really think that people will just forget that she took part in attempted coup if she tells her interns to ignore the phones for long enough?

Is that what that was? A thorough debate? Not some appalling passing on of lies and a near fistfight when called on it?

What did Jeff Van Drew call the inconvenient calling out of the lies? “Moral pomposity”?

It turns out the folks who prattle on about law and order and the Constitution like @RepHartzler don’t really care about law and order and the Constitution at all.

Why isn’t your office answering the phones?

Vicki’s party encouraged this treason

Hollowed duty sounds pretty damn accurate for today’s so-called conservatives!

“hollowed duty”. Oopsie, looks like you accidentally told the truth

You accept that? No you don’t. I watched the vote and you did not.

Hollowed duty, yes. Hallowed duty, not so much.

You are responsible for this.

You are complicit!

You and Hawley helped foment a failed coup, you both need removed from government and stripped of any power over other people.

I can’t imagine how terrified Rep. Hartzler felt as she watched many of her Trump freedom loving constituents she has lovingly embraced march by and desecrate the Capitol and even made her fear for her life. Don’t worry, she’ll be kissing their asses again tomorrow for votes.

You are absolutely right on this one Vicky! With your Seditionist Act, you further hollowed out our democracy. If you cared more about our Democracy than your subsidies, you would have done your Hallowed duty. #RESIGNHARTZLER

You should resign, never voted for you and never will

With all due respect, Vicky “the reasonable traitor” Hartzler, go to hell

I have supported you from the start. I live in your district and graduated with your husband. I will never vote for you ever again.

We won’t let you forget the traitorous support you have given Trump and his terrorist party. I once again affirm how embarrassing it is to have you as a representative, given how little you represent democracy.

You enable the riots with your lies. You should resign.

You should resign immediately!

What reason did you have to object to the electors from Pennsylvania? Did you have any evidence that there was something disingenuous about the votes? What was your argument in the debate?

You have played a role in the violence, Vicky. You should stop lying to your constituents about the election. Trump didn’t lose the election because it was fraudulent, he lost the election overwhelmingly because he’s a poor leader.

You and Hawley are despicable. Now by seeding the insurrection by promoting outright lies you have blood on your hands. You can’t pray it away. You can’t wordsmith it away. This will follow you the rest of your days on earth.

Embarrassed that you and other Missouri representatives and Senator Hawley supported overturning a fair election and encouraging these lawless people. Shame on you.

Now that your attempt to overthrow democracy has failed & Democrats control the WH, Senate & House… NOW you’re ready to talk about working together?? […]
