Josh Hawley (r) [2024 file photo].

Yesterday, from Josh Hawley (r):

Senator Josh Hawley
December 6, 2024]
Biden is ALREADY risking World War III by letting Zelensky fire American missiles into Russia, and now he wants Ukraine to be part of NATO…
The Democrats and neocons’ playbook is a recipe for constant conflict with American boots on the ground—from now until forever.
[….]

Some of the responses:

trump released thousands of Taliban after he lost to President Biden.

[….] releasing thousands to terrorize the Afghan people. Trump set Biden up for failure. That’s just the kind of person he is. You go ahead and keep worshiping him.

[….] hey DF who took credit for the pullout in June before the August pullout… that was your Cheeto jesus.. quote I started the pullout and there’s nothing Biden can do to stop it… who told our enemies we were pulling out and when that’s Trumpie… no military leader would ever do that unless they’re dumber than s,??t… that’s Trump… who released 5000 enemy soldiers before we pulled out… that’s Trump… you’re the DA that needs to look in the mirror

Hawley wants Putin to win.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

[….] Putin rattles his saber and MAGA surrenders.

[….] Russkie toadies gotta toady, I guess.

They should be in nato!

And Trump met with Zelenskyy in France yesterday. Where’s your rage at that, Josh?

SEMO constituent; answer your phone! We want you to make a public annoucement of support for Pete Hegseth!

Heh.

Resign you complicit pandering lying seditious christofascist hack

Hawley is a traitor. Trump is a traitor. Both incited an insurrection on Jan. 6 to over throw our government where 5 were killed and others wounded. The president of Ukraine is one of the bravest men on Earth.

George Will on 6Jan: “The three repulsive architects of Wednesday’s heartbreaking spectacle…must be named and forevermore shunned. They are Donald Trump, and Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz…The Trump-Hawley-Cruz insurrection against constitutional government will be an indelible stain on the nation.”

Josh is clueless

Josh Hawley (r) has his undies in a wad.

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
I’m putting DOJ & FBI on notice: Don’t shred a single document. Don’t delete a single file. Accountability is coming. The Judiciary Committee WILL investigate – and find out who authorized spying on Christians, attacks on prolifers, the vendettas against Trump – all of it
[….]
5:33 PM · Dec 3, 2024

The letter:

December 3, 2024

The Honorable Merrick Garland
Attorney General
United States Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20530

The Honorable Christopher A. Wray
Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20535

Dear Attorney General Garland and Director Wray:

I have received reports that, under your leadership, DOJ and FBI employees are destroying records and other documents in an effort to conceal the widespread misconduct that took place under the Biden Administration. You must immediately stop this attempt to evade accountability, and should terminate any employees involved. Further, you must preserve all Department and Bureau documents in anticipation of congressional investigations to come.

Under your leadership, the DOJ and FBI have engaged in unprecedented abuses of the justice system—ranging from the criminal prosecution of President-elect Trump to bad-faith prosecutions of pro-life Americans for peacefully protesting abortion, and attempts to recruit undercover informants in Catholic parishes. This is a sordid track record, and the American people deserve the truth about how it happened and who was involved.

With sunlight now on the horizon, I’m not surprised by last-ditch efforts to stonewall the incoming administration. But those efforts will fail. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who will hold the chairmanship of a Subcommittee in the forthcoming Congress, I intend to investigate your respective agencies’ illicit actions over the past several years. If your staff are presently destroying relevant documents, then the American people will learn about that too, and will learn who gave the orders to do so.

The bottom line is this: you must immediately take all necessary steps to preserve all documents, records, and other materials generated by your agencies during your respective tenures in office. You must cease any bad-faith document destruction. And you should prepare for the real justice to come.

Sincerely,
s/
Josh Hawley
United States Senator

“…With sunlight now on the horizon, I’m not surprised by last-ditch efforts to stonewall the incoming administration…”

Obviously cribbed from a junior high school dance decoration subcommittee report.

Some of the responses at another social media site:

There he goes DEMANDING again… wow…[….]

This will be a big ole nothing burger by the GOP. When was the last time a GOP investigation had any results?

Oh yay more wasted time and money conducting worthless investigations, holding hearings and nothing getting done.
Surprise surprise.

The only ones needed to be reviewed and held accountable are Trump and insurrectionists like yourself. [….]

Hawley, you are a clown with sheep manure for brains. Enjoy your brief tenure, you are one of the many maga cult members who will be quickly forgotten by history.

Resign you christofascist hack

Moron.

On social media:

Josh Hawley
[October 11, 2024]
Harrison and I were greeted last night by the Poplar Bluff football team – and friends
[….]

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Glad he came to our small town, but didn’t really pay attention to the people. Did what he had to do and left, don’t blame him to an extent, but would’ve loved to meet him when we were only 10 feet away. [….] we waited on you as well and someone told us to stand in front of you, when we did he took you another way.

Maybe wave your checkbook next time?

yeah, he don’t give a crap about you.

Not surprising. It was just another photo op for him. SMH

2018 Josh Hawley: Criticizes Claire McCaskill for flying on a private jet and not driving to campaign events. Says she’s addicted to her luxury lifestyle.
2024 Josh Hawley: Flies on a private jet to campaign events

Hawley supported the January 6th attempt to violently overthrow our United States Government.
Hawley supports taking a woman’s reproductive rights away from her and her family, giving himself the right to control you, your female children, granddaughters.
Hawley is a Virginian, he should not be allowed to run for an elected office in Missouri. This is what election fraud looks like.
Hawley only shows up in Missouri to take your money.

Wow! Young people who can’t vote and don’t know any better. Young people who don’t ask relevant, tough questions of you. Just another meaningless photo opp. Please resign ASAP.

Butker is misogynistic punk. Wish he was on another team.

He and Joshie have a real (b)romance going on.

really? Dude just comes out to kick field goals.

I would like to know why you think you should have say so over what I do with my body

Literally neither one of you can call Missouri your actual home. Pathetic.

Did you show them the best way to runaway Josh?

Oh GOODY. Did he teach you how to kick? Did you teach him how to SPRINT?
[….]

Do the girls in the picture know that Butker thinks women going to college is a waste of time and money??

Looks like very few voters are even showing up for Hawley’s jet tour of our state.

Get rid of this Christian nationalist!
Allowing the Church and religious zealots to run the world has been tried before.
IT’S KNOWN AS THE DARK AGES FOR A REASON.

Run Josh back to Virginia we don’t want you!

Josh did you tell any of those kids there that if their moms tried to give them a little brother or sister and had a problem pregnancy that you’d let her die?

Run, Josh, Run!
[….]

Poor children

You’re teaching children now to be misogynistic pigs just like you

You guys make a great couple! Congrats!

Ushering in the goddamn Handmaid’s tale. You two make me sick.

“Abort the court”

Josh is the first senator in Missouri history to serve a full term and not bring one single time to the state thereby creating no jobs or no opportunity he is a failure by any measure

Wow…45 people. Wtg Joshy. You really know how to drag them in. How much are you paying them? LMAO

Can’t wait to see an out of towner lose.

Run Josh run

Quit pretending to care about Missourians, you spineless duplicitous carpetbagger. You don’t even live here.

Insurrectionist suppporter, and anti democracy do nothing coward…

You two a thing now???

Josh is from another state. He has no desire to help you any further.

Do a town hall in St.Louis Mr. Masculine. I got a few questions for you.

You have to drag Harrison around to get any attention.
It’s like tying a porkchop around your neck to get the dog to play with you.

Resign you complicit pandering lying seditious christofascist hack

Barnett, Josh Hawley, Lucas Kunce, missouri, rally, U.S. Senate

Lucas Kunce, the Democratic Party candidate for the U.S. Senate, held a rally in Barnett, Missouri yesterday evening. Approximately 200 individuals from the area and neighboring counties attended.

Lucas Kunce (D).

https://showmeprogress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/LucasKunceBarnettMO091824.mp3
.

Lucas Kunce (D): “…And somebody is getting a little scared about it. [laughter] So, uh, so craziest thing happened the other day. Uh, I should give you some background first. So, a year ago I went out to the Missouri State Fair. Go every year, take the family. And, uh, and lo and behold Josh Hawley was at the state fair. And I thought, well gosh, you know, I never met the guy before. Maybe I should go up and say hi to him. [laughter] Can anybody guess what happened? [laughter] I’m telling you people it was January 6th all over again [laughter] Brrrrr, quick as he could, ran away. But, I will give the man some credit, in the intervening year it seems he’s spent a lot of time re-reading his book on manhood, [laughter] uh, because he came to play this year.

Yeah, if you don’t know, Josh Hawley literally wrote a book and titled it Manhood. Like I’m not, I’m not kidding you. It’s, uh, world’s greatest self-help book. You can get it for two dollars on Amazon. [laughter] The, uh, the secrets of masculinity from the coward of January 6th himself. It’s the craziest thing you ever heard. But, um. But, first of all, shame on y’all for laughing. [laughter]

And the reason I say that comes from a very dark place. You see, my campaign manager made me read the thing. I’m never gonna get those hours back and it was a brutal experience. However, and y’all aren’t gonna like this, I wish that we could make that book required reading for everyone who votes in November. I know, you don’t want to read it. But, I’m telling you just think about it, just suffering through that is a small sacrifice for us winning 98 to 2. Because, I swear to God, if everybody had to read it that is how much we would win by. Like, it’s absolutely crazy….”

The “debate on debates” – Governer’s Ham Breakfast – Missouri State Fair – August 15, 2024

Lucas Kunce (D): “…Honestly, I think they can see what a creep the guy is anyway.

And, uh, I actually discovered this personally myself, this was where I was going earlier, at the state year this year. So, if you didn’t see, the wildest thing happened. Again, he came motivated this year. And so, I’m talking to this farmer named [….] in the pavilion, and, uh, we’re just hanging out, he’s talking about beef checkoff programs, you know, all that sort of stuff. Big Ag destroying his livelihood. Sadly, the truth here in Missouri for a lot of folks. And, um, and we’re talking and we just hear this ruckus coming from the background. And, uh, and it starts to get clearer after a little bit. And it’s like, we hear, Kunce! Where’s Kunce? Has anybody seen Kunce? Is Kunce out of his basement yet? [laughter] And we’re like, what on earth is that? And sure enough our sitting U.S. Senator has gone WWE smackdown, I don’t know if everybody watches their Friday night television, the guy’s been watching too much of it. I mean, full on smackdown, running through the hall, yelling as loud as he can for me, and, uh, completely mic’d up, camera crew trailing him, pushing people out of the way to try to find me. [pause] Cutest little western outfit you have ever seen. [laughter] I’m not gonna lie, I’m willing to complement the man when he does something right. I’m telling you, it was beautiful. Pearl snaps. The shirt was a few sizes too small, but, hey man, the rest of it, he really killed it. And, uh [laughter], I get, did anybody see that Barbie movie? [voices: “Yeah.”] I’m telling you right now, midwestern Ken. It was incredible [laughter]. Hair blown out, like, amazing thing, amazing thing.

And so, and so, I’m there and I’m just like, this man is just standing right here, like, just right here next to me just yapping up at me non-stop about who knows what. And, uh, and I’m thinking to myself, again, like, why would a sitting U.S. Senator do something like this? It’s crazy, right? It is fear. It’s fear. He’s seen the same numbers we’ve seen. They’re getting public now and, uh, the man is in trouble and it’s gotten him scared…”

“Josh Hawley is a Fraud and a Coward”

“…Sorry about Josh Hawley…”

“Labor for Lucas”

Lucas Kunce (D): “….I’m gonna tell you right now that’s not the Missouri that I grew up in. It’s just not. But it is Josh Hawley’s Missouri. That is the Missouri that Josh Hawley is bringing to every single one of us. I’m gonna tell you right now, it’s coming for every single corner of our state unless we fight back and take power back right now. [applause]

That’s why I’m here tonight. That’s why I’m doing this campaign. Because we have to fundamentally change who has power in this country. We have to change who has power in this country ’cause they’re just gonna take, take, take, extract our wealth, destroy our communities for themselves, right? That’s what it’s all about. [applause]….”

Lucas Kunce (D): “….I can’t believe I even gotta bring this up. But, uh, I want to acknowledge the biggest investment that we make in our paychecks every single month. Our money, our investment in Social Security and Medicare [voice: “Right.”][applause] These guys want to privatize it. They want to cut it. They want to hand the keys over to Goldman-Sachs. I don’t know if you’ve seen what happened with several pension funds that those guys got their hands on, but they disappeared, and we had to be bailed out by the federal government, right? Never, never, never, never on my watch. I’m gonna tell you right now, I will always protect those programs. [applause]….”

Report shows Black drivers still pulled over at higher rate than white drivers in Mid-Missouri
By Mitchell Kaminski
May 31, 2024 7:54 PM

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Black drivers in Missouri were once again pulled over at a higher rate, based on their percentage of the population in 2023, according to the state’s annual Vehicle Stops Report. [….]

For a period of time Josh Hawley (r) was the Missouri Attorney General. You’d think he knew what the office actually did.

Vehicle Stops Report

[….]

Concerns raised by the citizens of Missouri and the Missouri legislature regarding allegations of bias in traffic enforcement prompted the passage of SB 1053 (2000). SB 1053 created Section 590.650, RSMo. which became effective August 28, 2000. This statute created the Vehicle Stops Report and required that the Attorney General’s Office collect and report on traffic stops conducted by law enforcement officers across the state of Missouri.

Under § 590.650, RSMo. all peace officers in the state must report specific information, including a driver’s race, for each vehicle stop made in the state. Law enforcement agencies must provide their vehicle stops data to the Attorney General by March 1, and the Attorney General must compile the data and report to the Governor, General Assembly, and each law enforcement agency no later than June 1 of each year. The law allows the Governor to withhold state funds from any agency that does not submit its vehicle stops data to the Attorney General by the statutory deadline.

[….]

These reports have been issued annually since 2000. Apparently, Josh Hawley (r) wasn’t paying attention. Today:

Senator Josh Hawley
[September 3, 2024]
Remember this Biden-Harris-backed judicial nominee?
Senator Hawley called her out for thinking that enforcing TRAFFIC LAWS is racist —
[….]

Some of the responses:

Here is the reason why, “Traffic stops, and pretext stops in particular, are riddled with racial disparities; so, too, are the harms that flow from them. Empirical analyses demonstrate two key findings: (1) Black drivers are consistently over-policed and disproportionately stopped, with rates of investigatory or pretext stops for Black drivers often more than double the rates for white drivers; and (2) Black motorists are more likely (once stopped) to be intrusively searched, arrested, and subjected to police violence. The harms from these interactions—the indignities of being stopped and searched; the state surveillance attendant to being charged with a misdemeanor; the carceral exposure that comes with being accused of a felony; and physical pain, injury, and death—are well documented. And of course, this disturbingly uneven treatment offers no corresponding benefit to public safety, as multiple studies show that Black motorists are, if anything, less likely than white drivers to be found with contraband. In the face of these continuing racial disparities, jurisdictions across the country have begun to step up and address these issues.”

Hawley? Would you Please just go away, disappear, leave us alone, and stop being such a jerk?

Another day, another hand picked selective clip of Hawley haranguing someone to make himself look important. Didn’t show the context, didn’t show her response. Can’t wait to vote for Lucas Kunce.

She states clearly in the clip that she isn’t saying not to enforce the violations, but that those type of tickets could be issued by mail and not by the police. Who could then “focus on more serious enforcement.” Josh here is showboating out of context. Again.

Hawley is a showboating joke of a punk who doesn’t belong on the room with serious people..
Josh Hawley will always be best known as the guy who pumped his fist at insurrectionists outside the Capitol on January 6th… then ran for his life just a few hours later.
Non-serious CLOWN…
[….]

The Senator lying to mislead. This is what the document says: ” Framing an ordinance precisely and intentionally. Many preemption concerns can be mitigated by making clear that an ordinance is not about total non-enforcement of state traffic laws. Instead, the ordinance might narrowly effect changes in local police departments’ stop authority, while leaving open other avenues of enforcing state laws and notifying drivers of violations. For instance, some secondary stops ordinances contemplate enforcement of secondary violations in connection with traffic stops based on primary violations. Alternatively, an ordinance could provide that officers may enforce certain violations by mailing tickets to motorists instead of stopping them. Moreover, many violations often designated as secondary (like expired registration tags) parallel other provisions that address the same conduct in other ways (e.g., parking with expired tags as opposed to driving with them). Cities with some measure of fiscal autonomy can couple this careful framing with an emphasis on the need to prioritize scarce municipal resources—again, through a less costly method of enforcing traffic violations, not non-enforcement.” Hee Hawley probably didn’t expect that.

W[h]at a clever way of twisting a paper on racist enforcement of traffic laws by a Hispanic nominee to include two other talking points for which you cited no proof or connection. I do not imagine any way you could have ever voted for any nominee offered by the President, in any case. Your well-acted confusion proved nothing but you already well-know prejudices.

I think being a Christian nationalist is just “nuts”

Context is everything.
Show the whole video you pandering simp.

Remember you’re a seditionist.

Is that his I’m an alpha masculine male pose?

Ignoring the systems that criminalize and disenfranchise minorities is #racist, Joshy boy. But that’s precisely what you and the MAGAt crowd embrace.

What I remember is Josh Hawley inciting the Trump sponsored mob to attack the Capitol with his raised fist in the air.
And then running away like a little coward.
A real creep.
That’s what I remember.
Vote him out of office. He has no respect for our democracy.

Senator Josh Hawley, noting that you’re not talking about the Trump Supreme Court justices who are looking likely to be accepted bribes, etc. Why is that?

Keep them distracted from project 2025 and agenda 47. Resign you complicit pandering lying seditious christofascist hack. Missouri deserves better.

your memory is skewed joshy. you remember the one dead ended and not even voted on and the one rushed through in 3 weeks…al because of party politics? isn’t it time we had people in power more concerned about our country rather than themselves?

There is anyone more racist than a Christian nationalist

What if a Black guy get stopped because a tail light is out, and then gets shot? Is that racist (run like a little girl) Hawley?

Repeat, regurgitate and repeat. Typical Hawley posting

All I remember is you running like a little girl away from the insurrectionists you had just fist pumped.

debating debates, Governor's Ham Breakfast, Josh Hawley, Lucas Kunce, missouri, Missouri State Fair, Sedalia, Virginia

The U.S. Senate race between incumbent Josh Hawley (r) and Lucas Kunce (D) will be anything but boring.

This morning in Sedalia:

Lucas Kunce (D).

Josh Hawley (r).

After a late arrival, Josh Hawley (r), trailing credentialed media, sought out Lucas Kunce (D) in the middle of the venue at the Missouri State Fair Governor’s Ham Breakfast. Whereupon Josh Hawley engaged Lucas Kunce in a debate about debating. The two candidates were surrounded by a circle of media trying to get microphones and cameras on the exchanges. Security hovered outside that circle. The noise of the crowd attending the venue made it next to impossible to hear much of the lengthy conversation.

Note the lavelier microphone on Josh Hawley (r). It’s as if he were expecting to recite a few sound bites.

After the debate about debates ended both of the candidates spoke with media.

Lucas Kunce (D).

Lucas Kunce (D) later spoke with folks attending the breakfast.

Dumbass.

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

Today:

Senator Josh Hawley
[July 22, 2024]
Wall Street, Big Business, and Hollywood chose Joe Biden only to ditch him for Kamala Harris when he couldn’t make them any more money.
Biden was never running the show.
[….]

Well, somebody bought Clarence Thomas a bus.

Some of the responses:

Oh Josh!! Please don’t disappoint me now!! I think we all know who’s running this country and it sure as hell isn’t Hollywood, big business or Wall Street. Those are just donors and voters! It’s the Deep State that controls our country. Globalists. Period. It’s a massive organization that’s been in the making for nearly 100 years! Until there’s an honest conversation about who is apart of the Deep State and how to expose and dismember it. Nothing will change in DC. No matter who’s in the White House! Denial is why “it” may well be to massive to ever stop…. Paranoid? You bet I’am!
Shame on us! [….]

The obvious benefit of a Yale education.

Not sure why the GOP would have such an old decrepit dementia riddled felon as their standard bearer. Oldest nominee in history. He should step down.

We see what you did there.

The Republican party needs a nipple pacifier. They are complainers. First they criticize Biden for memory issues and now say his getting out of the race was a ploy. I will admit, they are good at whining. What next?

Please tell us how the oil industry and every other big polluter doesn’t own the entire GOP.

Josh take your tin foil hat off and go sit in the corner!!!!

Maybe you should consider a job as a Faux News anchor after we vote you out of office. I am convinced that you say things just to move your mouth.

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

Hawley took over $1M from the NRA.

Hawley spends a lot of time bloviating on Foxnews.

Speaking of running, never forget that Senator Josh Hawley is a pathetic coward

Josh is a disingenuous liar. Over 60 billionaires have backed Trump. How exactly are you defining “Big Business” and “Wall Street”? Because I’m pretty sure billionaires qualify. And I guess Hollywood is code for rich gay people? Or something?
But if the richest people in the world are backing Trump you can be assured he is not going to advocate for the working class. Because nothing trickles down and Josh knows that.

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

Senator Josh Hawley
[July 14, 2024]
Hawley Demands Full-Scale Investigation by Congress into Attempted Assassination of President Trump
[….]

There are responses:

But isn’t this EXACTLY what y’all wanted?? Guns for EVERYONE? Isn’t this supposed to make us “FREE”??

Senator Hawley this needs to be swiftly investigated. Something stinks here.

[….] Yeah, two people are dead. That really stinks.
Now if you are thinking some big time conspiracy and BS like that. Nope.
Not everyone likes Trump or his desire to be king of the U.S and his lies and unfortunately some of those people are crazy or so scared of his and the republican party turning our country into some kind of taliban type country that they took a pot shot at him and missed and killed two people.
Unfortunately the crazy that killed those two people had absolutely every right to own the rifle he used, because the republican party stops any kind of gun control every chance they get to get people to vote for them. So whose fault do you think that those two people are now dead? If you say Biden I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure stupid crazy people can’t own guns. So people like you don’t take a pot shot at Biden and miss and kill a couple of more people.

[….] you’re delusional, take a pill.

[….] No dear I’m stating facts. I know your cult doesn’t believe in facts, but belief and facts are two different things. You think I’m delusional and I know you are certifiable. See the difference. Your statement proves in fact you are.

[….] you can be as delusional as you like but kid you need to pull your head out of the sand before you suffocate. [….] You have Trump deranged syndrome to the point that you’re not mentally nor emotionally well. Lay off of Facebook for a while. Put off trolling until you pull yourself back together.. it will always be there for you later. Save your emotional strength for when Trump becomes the 47th president of the United States . January 2025 [….]

[….] Trump does hate rhetoric every time he opens his mouth. But karma came back at him

[….] then have your mommy change your diaper, and wrap the used one around your head to protect you from government mind control.

[….] White, Radicalized, Violent and Republican, what else do you need to know.

[….] why don’t you ask Kamala, Waters, Schumer, and others why they incitingiolence and bailing criminals out of jail.

[….] I am getting fund raising emails based on this assassination attempt which kind of makes me think, can it be a setup, inside job. Although I don’t think it is. Biden suspended all TV advertisement and fund raising immediately until further notice.

[….] then take away the crazy democrats guns that can do that. Like nick cruz the satanist and the transgender woman that shot up the Nashville Christian school. Keep trying to spin that it’s republicans doing these shootings.

[….] Thomas Matthew Crooks was a white, radicalized, violent, Republican. How about you sweep your own steps.

[….] registered doesn’t mean he was. Closed states encourage opposite registration to help eliminate certain candidates in the primaries!

[….] yep, shooter was Republican. Always on the right.

[….] who? The registered republican shooter? The secret service and FBI who seem to support trump? The republican ex- president, who, even after being grazed by a bullet, shoves his fist in the air, shouting “fight, fight, fight”? The republican party that refuses to participate in any gun reform legislation?

[….] Thomas Matthew Crooks was a white violent radicalized, Republicans, you should sweep your own steps before karma does.

[….] the shooter was a registered Republican.

The FBI should be the last agency in charge of investigating this!!

Get the recordings from SS coms

They can’t deny it was an inside job.

I want Josh as VP!

[….] To do what? To support another coup attempt.

If you see any Christian nationalists quoting scripture and talking about how God protected Donald Trump, remind them about how the Book of Revelation talks about The Beast (the Antichrist) gets wounded in the head and gets back up again. I can assure you as a theologian that your biblical interpretation would be as sound as theirs.

[….] and you will know that the prophecies surrounding the antichrist has not been fulfilled by trump.

[….] LMFAO. OMG I can’t with the stupidity of you morons. You buy Bibles, shoes, trading cars, you believe me he is 6′ 2″ and 215 pounds, when he’s 5’8 and 350.pounds. [….]

[….] Remind the readers along with yourself, the antichrist would reveal himself, claiming to be the messiah.
Please stop with the divisive rhetoric, especially when you’re not filled with the spirit, otherwise you’d have the discernment needed to understand Trump is far from the antichrist

This should be a time for all Americans to come together. We are a untied people. We solve our problems by voting and in front of a jury of 12 Americans. This is our way . Our way the path of Peace. We must stop using words like ‘Leftist to Commie . We need to stop using words that divide our great people .

[….] no, the guns over people party has been pushing for gun voice for decades, it’s time one of you felt the results and not kids you like to target.

[….] what country do you live in ?

Could the answer be that just like in Missouri, open carry is legal in Pennsylvania? I understand that several people called the police about 7 minutes before the shot was taken and there was no action because just like in Missouri, it’s not a crime until they shoot someone. You can call the police and say, “Hey, there is a man with a gun and I think he is going to kill someone,” but you can’t expect a response because it’s not a crime and your feelings don’t matter. These are GOP laws.

It is not the job of Congress to investigate crime, but is there some reason you think this will not be fully investigated? Good heavens, man. “Josh…master of the obvious.” And “Anything to get ME noticed!”

If unredacted information is not released, a proper inference is that people in authority are involved.

Yes they need to get to the source

[….] Nope, they need to quit being the lowest rated non doing for the working class leaders in Congress. Let the agencies that no how to run an investigation figure out what happen.

Prayers for President Trump and family and all those who support him. I believe the leftist are planning evil for him. Thank you Senator Josh Hawley.[….]

Well they are a malignancy. It’s like a national infestation or pestilence..

[….] you cheered for Rittenhouse, why is this conservative teenager any different?

Go away Josh… just have to jump in for your 15 minutes of fame!!

A full investigation of security measures around the rally and an investigation of how Judge Cannon got appointed to the classified documents case needs to happen.

[….] This man couldn’t take charge of a Kindergarten school play. The hell!

Funny how you are always demanding something and nothing ever seems to get done, don’t you think Hawley.
Still not voting for you Hawley.

FBI is corrupt will not do a good job

Ane we’ve all seem the success of republican investigations….

The guy that gave the power sign to the rioters who were attacking police and trying to hang Mike Pence on Jan-6. Get out of my party son and take trump with you.

Yes, please list all those that have bragged about or called for violence in the last 8 years!
Start with, “I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue”
Include the Hertitage Foundation “bloodless revolution” comments.
And those that raise fists during an insurrection!

so you think the secret service cannot do their job? you think the fbi and the local police cannot figure out what happened. you can count on congress investigating this without your demand. there are just too many people who want their name in the news for congress to decide not to investigate. HINT if you want a real investigation, keep mtg, boebert and yourself off these committees because none of you will investigate. you 3 always use your question time to make statements or harangue witnesses.

Incite violence and you get violence.

As long as YOU do not stand against violence as a threat if things do not go your way, you stand for it, hawley. We do not need a biased investigation as much as we need people like you to say. “NO MORE VIOLENCE. It solves nothing and makes more problems. You, your party and your party’s leader and every other politician, need to be vocal about stopping violence every time anyone makes any kind of threat or anything that makes violence seem to be useful. As a Democrat, I say that everyone in the public eye, needs to do this, no exceptions, over and over till we can get along without killing each other.

TRUMP sends out a message every day and sometimes multiple messages on his Truth Social page. Here is some of the words and phrases he uses. “Bring out the guns, I have a secret weapon. Send them to their graves. Total annihilation, demolish the deep state, there’s going to be World War 3. He called Nancy Pelosi a terrorist and a lunatic he called Joe Biden corrupt . he said immigrants are poisoning our blood coming from Africa. if I don’t get elected there’s going to be a bloodbath we need to fight, fight and fight, They are animals, they are rapists, they are killers. We might have to suspend the United States Constitution.” a new era in our history will soon begin.. knock them down. Throw them out! ( Do you think these words will promote violence in some weak minded people?)

Donald Trump has been the accelerant to hatred and violence from the moment he announced his presidency. He has encouraged hate groups and political violence. He opened the gate to insurrection. As far back as 2015, Trump has been connected to documented acts of violence, with perpetrators claiming that he was even their inspiration. Dozens of people enacted violence in Trump’s name in the years before the Capitol attack. His message has been hate and harm so why is anyone surprised that it has found him?
Biden has vehemently condemned this attack whereas Trump has a long history of encouraging violent attacks.

Already being investigated. More grandstanding by Ol’ Fist Pump.

No investigations into children slaughtered in their seats in schools?

I demand an investigation into your role in the January 6 attack on our peaceful transfer of power.

He was an angry white republican. You have your answer.

The left has tried everything to get rid of Trump, they may not have pulled the trigger but they’re rederick and lies are responsible for it!!

[….] I hate it when they’re rederick gets in the way of a fruitful conversation.

[….] a registered white Republican shot him.

[….] We don’t have to. Trump does it himself by committing crimes.

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion. You swore an oath!!! Remember that next time you falsely claim we’re a Christian Nation, we’re NOT!!!

Why doesn’t Senator #TRE45ON-Weasel just sit-back and let The United States Department of Justice do THEIR job?
Why does he feel the urge to try to ‘micromanage’ the FBI and associated entities, after all his attempts to *stonewall* investigations into January 6th?

[….] because it is election year and he has done anything in 5.5 years and he wants people to think that he actually works for the people of Missouri.

We need an independent counsel to investigate the security breach at this anti-American rally immediately.

Do that after you investigate your involvement in Jan 6th. Investigate why Trump’s name shows up so many times on Epstein’s plane records. Investigate the meeting Trump had with a Russian official in the WH with no reporters in the room. Investigate who deleted secret service phone records. Investigate SCOTUS pay to play schemes. Investigate the American reporter who was killed on Trump’s watch. Investigate the deal that Trump made with the Taliban. Investigate why Trump made a deal to close several oil refineries now making it hard for us to refine oil. Investigate why he took the vac but told American people not to. Investigate how his son in law was able to leave the office with 2 Billion from the Saudis. I could go on and on. If you have time after you investigate those, then waste your time investigating the incident. It will be a waste of time because the secret service and feds would have already done their investigation. The Congress is made up of
a bunch of do nothing political hacks. You sir are the biggest disgrace in history.

God Bless our President Donald J. Trump! God bless you too for your work for our country, Josh Hawley!! Time to take these evil ones out. Could you be a VP pick? Would be a good one.

If you needed any further confirmation the other side is violent,crazy,morons .. read their lib deflections and moronic talking points here
Enjoy Nov libs!

God bless the 2nd Amendment! Everyone gets a gun in America! God bless America!

Thank You Senator Hawley!! I hope whoever put an hit on Trump and killing one and wounding two other needs to be accountable. From what a lady had to say that was close to those injured there would have to be two doing shooting. Hopefully they look into that. Again thanks for all you do.

LMAO. INSIDE JOB. Not enough guns?

Political violence and advocating political violence is never acceptable. Josh promotes violence with his support for insurrectionists and his refusal to support the legal transfer of power in an election. How about those Capital Police that were injured Josh while you ran away??

Was Matthew Crooks brainwashed by the CIA? Many persons, smarter than me, find it strange that the shooter could climb on top a house roof and shoot, without Secret Service ever checking the house? This story by President Biden does not pass the smell test, about UNITY behind Biden and allowing 20 million illegal immigrants to vote in November? Somebody needs to advise Trump to return to Florida and stay under Governor DeSantis protection until November election. Is it true explosives were found in Crooks vehicle? Trump should not personally attend the Republican Convention, but communicate by live visual connection. My opinion.

Oh sure, when school kids are massacred you say “get over it.” What a worthless piece of garbage!

Josh you are a TOTAL WASTE.

Another grandstanding opportunity for Josh. This guy has done little to lower the temperature of hate in America. He raises it on a daily basis and before you all get started I’m not Republican or Democrat. I’m independent and vote for what makes sense. Lately that’s not been much of that on the Democrat or Republican side…just be a good human being.

Thoughts & Prayers (and YES Josh is still a dope)

You are such a dimwit. Any attempt on the life of a presidential candidate is swiftly investigated. You’re just trying to amp up outrage and that is certainly not what we need. We need cool heads while the investigation is underway. I hope you are not allowed to play with matches you light an inferno.
Why weren’t you demanding a swift and thorough investigation after January 6?
Why weren’t you demanding a swift and thorough investigation after the plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer?
Something stinks here you opportunistic parasite

And on…
