Senator Josh Hawley
[December 18, 2024]
Biden and the intel community have gone silent because they don’t want to tell us the truth about these drones.
The American people deserve answers when Air Force bases are getting shut down.
[….]
What a maroon.
Some of the responses:
No, YOU tell us what’s going on. You’re part of the guvmint. If you can’t find out as a US Senator, what good are you?
Speaking of which, given your innate horror at the thought of Commie Chinese breathing anywhere on the planet…tell us how appalled you are at The Mango Mussolini entertaining the billionaire Tik-Tok commie chinese guy right there in Mar-uh-bloggoh.
The TinFoil is strong in this one.
Hawley is back on Foxnews, his safe place where he feels all warm and fuzzy.
MAGA Greatness. Gaetz, Santos and Cawthorn (remember him?).
Josh is sooooo cute
Like the answers you never gave about your deep,[…] deep involvement on Jan 6.
They are going to try and shut down the power grid and get the predator drones ready to go to the Red Target locations.

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 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

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.
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.
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
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).
.
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]….”
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.
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.
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.

Last night:
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Congrats to @LucasKunceMO – now let’s debate. Next week. MO State Fair, Sedalia. Thursday AM right after the Governor’s Ham Breakfast. No fancy studio or moderators. Just the two of us on a trailer. Lincoln-Douglas style. I’ll bring the trailer. I’ll even let Kunce go first 8:02 PM · Aug 6, 2024
Are ladders optional? Just asking.
And within twenty-four minutes:

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.
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.
