Yesterday, from Josh Hawley (r):

Senator Josh Hawley
[July 11, 2023]
We can’t afford to let Communist China co-opt American institutions.
“It worries me when I see the PGA doing business with the Chinese gov’t…a gov’t that is attempting to use American institutions as a megaphone for their own totalitarian, dystopian & frankly evil policies.”

Some of the responses:

but chain saw saudis are ok… got it..

How about when farmland in the state you claim to reside in is sold to Chinese citizens? You seemed OK with that… but you live in Virginia and really don’t care…

Better start with James Comer since his committee was collaborating with a spy for the Chinese.
You colleague, Tuberville, is also weakening our military readiness.
Repugs are traitors.

China was one of the first that you identified as ‘the enemy”, along with Democrats, immigrants, teachers, the government, LGBTQIA+ people, women who do not want children or who have at-risk pregnancies, others. You sued that country and lost.. Have you investigated schmitt for his part in selling Missouri land to China. Clean up the mess in your own house before you start messing in other’s.

But Josh loves the Saudis.
They funded the attacks on 9/11.
They murdered a Washington Post American journalist.
They bribed Kushner w $2billon for…?
Yeah, the Saudis are great for America/Republicans.

Hey, talk about Jared Kushner and your orange overlord, Haulin A*s Hawley!! They’re totally in bed with the Saudis.

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

WTF Josh. The PGA is now owned by the Saudis who just made a deal to enrich Trump. Get a clue Tiny Fist Man.

Then why aren’t you concerned about the PGA doing business with the Saudis?
You know, the same guys that helped fund the 9-11 attacks against America, and who kill America journalists, and who raise oil prices to hurt western countries like the US, AND who arrest Christians in Saudi Arabia for practicing their faith!
You’re not a serious elected official, you just do things for the camera. SMH

Resign, seditionist, and do so with exceeding haste.

So, Mr. “The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming!” how upset are you at your House colleagues for colluding with a Commie spy?
[….]

But Joshie … Capitalism and free markets … or only when you approve?
Run along Joshie … literally run along.
[….]

29 consecutive months of job growth, inflation steadily declining, durable goods having been up for three consecutive months, 35,000 new infrastructure projects, an extended period in which real wages exceeded inflation and outsize gains for lower wage-earners.
Economic transformation in little towns, rural areas and aging metro centers brought about by new investment in plants, infrastructure projects and green energy related to the Chips Act.
Limiting China’s access to U.S. technology that has military applications and bringing supply chains homeYellen told U.S business leaders: “I have made clear that the United States does not seek a wholesale separation of our economies. We seek to diversify, not to decouple. A decoupling of the world’s two largest economies would be destabilizing for the global economy, and it would be virtually impossible to undertake.”
Biden’s policies have wiped out a quarter of the inequality built in the previous forty. And at the same time that Biden’s resurrection of the liberal consensus of the years from 1933 to 1980 is illustrating that the economic problems in the country were the fault of Republican policies rather than of marginalized people, the extremism of those angry Republican footsoldiers is revealing that they are not the centrist Americans they have claimed to be.
The Republican embrace of Moms for Liberty illustrates dramatically and to a wide audience how radical the party itself has become, threatening to turn away all but its extremist base. A strong majority of Americans oppose book banning: about two thirds of the general population and even 51% of Republicans oppose it, recognizing that it echoes the rise of authoritarians.
-Excerpts from Heather Cox Richardson’s fact checked weekend report.

Resign you pandering hack

Whatever you say traitor.

Yesterday:

Senator Josh Hawley
[July 7, 2023]·
Senator Hawley: “Where is the great tradition of American nationalism? That’s what we really need to revive.”
[….]

Some of the responses:

Let me guess – you finally figured out that the world is round? Or just dog-whistling that old antisemitic trash?

It’s certainly not too nationalistic when you make up Patrick Henry quotes out of the blue. My question to you sir is this: If you indeed are all about being a good patriotic American, why didn’t you serve in the military? The US Military exemplifies all great virtues you claim for yourself. And yet, I have to call into question your honesty, integrity, and loyalty to anything other than yourself and your own ambitions and agendas.

Nationalism is just a polite word for Nazism.
We fought a war about this.

There is nothing wrong with pride in our country or protecting ourselves from economic attack by other countries. Nationalism, however, is not directed at one country, such as China, it closes our doors to all countries enemies and allies alike, and to all groups of people who do not agree with a single ideology, It is more like a child locking himself in the bathroom because his parents took away his tablet than it is like standing up to bullies. Globalism, on the other hand is like the six-year-old who stands up to the bully calling her her best friend with autism names. It takes the ability to be strong and confident as well as compassionate and willing to accept differences. I am not surprised you advocate so strongly for nationalism.

Hawley just can’t wait till he can recite the 14 words in public without worrying about his own well-being after.

Nationalism means identification with one’s own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations. If this is what you are for, you don’t have my support. After all, our trade agreements are primarily done through the WTO along with several bilateral agreements. The US has done an awful job taking China to the WTO and fighting them there on trade practices. We are a great country, but we are nothing without our allies and most are also trading partners who buy American made goods and services.

So has Mrs fist pump been disbarred yet

The GOP has an extensive history of siding with fascist ideology, and you are proving this point.

Hey Josh…if the pandemic taught you nothing else it should be that we live in a global society, this country is affected by every other country on this planet. Its global. We have a global economy. Your version of white “christian” nationalism is a page right out of authoritarianism & matches what Orban is currently brainwashing Hungarian citizens into believing & what Putin has done to Russia. Come clean Josh or will you just run away again?

Your brand of nationalism reminds me of a few that popped up in the 20s and 30s that the US ultimately crushed in the 40s because they were really detrimental to everyone.
If you want to wear a brown shirt, do it elsewhere. [….]

Where is the tradition of Republicans accepting the peaceful transfer of power?
Not in Hawley’s office.

Poor sad sick radical moron. This is someone who has no idea how to integrate rational policy, facts, and reality into a platform of objective solutions to face the world we live in today. His “American Nationalism” is some fabricated piece of a era that does not exist and will never exist again. He encourages irrational, violent, responses to a world that only exists in his head. It is not OUR reality. He is a useless tool who will support a vile, lying, rapist/racist criminal as a leader if that satisfies his disjointed, deranged view of world. NO ONE I know would go down such a radical sick path to reach their goal. This “man,” is a fraud who caved to a weak, sick, dangerous, criminal, psychopath. That is his legacy.

There you go.

So much for all that education at elite schools

Josh Hawley (r) should ask for his money back.

….Senator Hawley graduated from Rockhurst High School in Kansas City. After graduating from Stanford University in 2002 and Yale Law School in 2006….

On the 4th of July:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Patrick Henry: “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Patrick Henry never said that. This is a line from a 1956 piece in The Virginian that was about Patrick Henry, not by him.
[….]
Context is written by people who use Twitter, and appears when rated helpful by others. Find out more.
4:45 PM · Jul 4, 2023

People noticed:

Of Course Josh Hawley Tweeted a Fake Quote to Push Religious Propaganda
The senator from Missouri celebrated the Fourth of July by falsely claiming the United States was founded “on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
BY BESS LEVIN
JULY 5, 2023

[….]

….he’s apparently also the kind of guy who uses fake quotes to make shit up about the United States’ founding to push religious propaganda. On an American holiday no less!

[….]

…As has been noted, Hawley received degrees from both Stanford and Yale, but one needn’t have attended some of the highest-ranked schools in the country to know that the United States was obviously not founded “on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” In fact, one would pretty much only need to know, like, the absolute most basic facts about the US to not make such a blatantly false claim about this nation. Of course, Hawley is not really as much of an idiot as his tweet suggests—and actually, one might argue that he knows exactly what he’s doing….

[….]

And:

Why Josh Hawley’s fake historical quote matters
Josh Hawley pushing a fake historical quote was cringeworthy, but more important was the theocratic point he was eager to make — on the Fourth of July.
July 5, 2023, 7:00 AM CDT
By Steve Benen

[….]

What Hawley should’ve realized before promoting the quote is that Henry didn’t say it. The line was reportedly published instead by a white nationalist publication in 1956 — more than a century and a half after the founding father’s death.

On the surface, it’s obviously unfortunate to see a senator — a graduate of Stanford and Yale — make a mistake like this, especially as so many other Republicans also fall for fake quotes.

But let’s not brush past the underlying point the Missouri Republican was trying to make by way of a made-up line: Hawley seems certain that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, with members of one faith tradition — his own — enjoying exalted status over others.

[….]

….more important than the senator’s sloppy error is the fact that a prominent Republican senator thought it’d be a good idea to tout an inherently theocratic vision on the Fourth of July.

Maybe those elite schools should ask for their degrees back.

Yesterday:

Senator Josh Hawley
[July 3, 2023]
The new Marxists of the Democrat Party are shoving their new woke religion down Americans’ throats.

‘These new Marxists want to give America a new religion. They want to impose on us the religion of woke. It is the religion of transgenderism, critical race theory, and open borders multiculturalism – and they are shoving it down our throats. The leftist elites have proclaimed themeselves as the priests of this new religion… Here’s the problem: The country doesn’t agree with them.’

Fucking sociopath.

Some of the responses:

This post is like a parody of the former GOP. It would be funny if it wasn’t so tragically sad.

Winner! This post has the highest number of dog whistles, innuendo and hate-fueled buzz words of any of the recent vagueness your underpaid staffer has written! Bravo!

Courage is something that should never be associated with Hawley. Maybe you missed the video of him running down the hall on January 6th.

wetting his pants while he ran

There’s that.

This Country was founded on Freedom, which something the Republicans are slowly but surely taking away from the American People.

What a wild quote of fear-mongering buzzwords.

[….] What in the Democratic Party is Marxist? Please give examples of democratic policies that show Marxist ideals. And then show the Marxist ideals. That should be easy since you so claim it is the truth.

Perhaps people should actually read what Jesus says about how to treat others, including sinners.
Rather than listening to false prophets and politicians pushing hatred towards others.
Its ACTUALLY the conservative Republicans and fundamental Christians who are succeeding in forcing their narrow, bigoted, hateful views on everyone else… When the groups they scorn only want to be left alone and treated like Jesus said… They are also God’s children.

This is really the most deceptive post, both in words and intentions to date. This is one of the GOP’s goals – “its okay to not be Christian (of the Government’s choice, but if you are not, then a different set of rules will apply to you.”) You must not be a real American if you are not Christian by their definition. This is not a stretch theory as the GOP controlled SCOTUS proved last week. They did something the courts have never done – they made a decision based on a hypothetical (there was no party in danger and the man’s name in the case was straight and married with kids and had no idea how his name ended up in court paperwork) and in their decision, the SCOTUS ruled that a Christian woman can legally discriminate against another protected class of people. The GOP and its policies are dangerous enough, but combined with SCOTUS, our democracy and freedoms are on the line. Who will be considered American anymore? DeSantis wants to end birthright citizenship, so you can be born here but not be automatically “American.” It’s time people took this rhetoric more seriously and less of a fad that we hope passes.

Someone should ask why would a Senator allow his staff to post this kind of divisive rhetoric the day before we celebrate our nation’s birth. Especially lies that are meant to do nothing but appeal to the base fear and ignorance of the population. Deliberately driving a further wedge into the cracks that are dividing our great republic. This is a perfect example of what is wrong with our political leadership.

Some of Hawley’s comments and those who agree with him mirror the Nazi comments when they were trying to take over Germany……that is what is really scary about Hawley and those who agree with his statements and actions.

Good God, Senator. This is one of the stupidest things you have put out. And you have put a LOT of stupid stuff out here.
BTW: the opposite of “woke” is “unwoke”, or if you prefer, ignorance.

Here’s the problem… Go look in the mirror, it’s you.
Stop using the word “woke” like some sort of scary dog whistle… and to paraphrase the great Inigo Montoya, I don’t even think you know what it means.

You have long proclaimed your own religious freedom not to have to permit those who disagree with you to have an abortion. You have also blamed the administration for ‘abusing’ Catholics by investigating a group of people who profess that religion for possible treasonous actions. Now you are doing the exact same thing to violate what YOU, yourself, define as a religion. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and you have just proven by this post that you only want religious freedom for those who agree with you politically and religiously. You do not speak for the whole country, and never have.

Seriously, Senator. Please do better when talking about people with differing opinions than you. It is unbecoming of you to describe your fellow Americans in hyperbolic terms. It seems your main goal is to retain power by belittling those who hold opinions other than yours.

No, there are no facts to support the garbage being spewed, but it is no way just Hawley. This is the new GOP. With the help of the corrupt Supremes, they are attempting to create, for lack of a better word, apartheid, to protect their power. Creating these wedges between people creates the different tiers of freedoms people will have.

Hitler hated Marxists, commies, and socialists. You don’t have to do much reading to know that, Senator.
And religion was imposed on the people God gave this land to to begin with. The people we “Christians” almost wiped out.
Don’t you have a mob to run from?

Lol okay Yale law school guy. Tell us about the elitists! [….]

Good Lord you’re a fool. You have no actual knowledge of what Marxism really is, do you? It’s just a word you toss around at things you don’t like and don’t understand, just like your use of the term “woke”. If being accepting to the LGBTQ community, acknowledging our nation’s troubled, racist past, welcoming immigrants and embracing our nations multiculturalism, makes one a member of the woke mob, then fine, I’m woke AF. Marxism is an economic theory you fool.

F#$% #$%

the only new religion I’ve witness is the cult of Morons you seem to lead…religion has nothing to do with government or it’s governance of us mere mortals, no matter what we decide to do with regards to spirituality…GFY you putz!

Says the fascist traitor….

Up yours!

You are an idiot.

I’ve not seen one of your so called “marxists leftist” throw their fist up in solidarity to a group of white supremacy groups, anti government people ready to overthrow a valid, legal election of the POTUS when trump lost. Your support of trump’s criminal ways will always be your legacy. People died that day because trump and his republicans didn’t stop the attempted coup and instead of calling it off, trump just kept running it back and playing it again and again. CRT should be taught. Why do you not think it should be taught. They didn’t volunteer to be a slave, be beaten, give birth to their masters babies. They had horrible lives from their slave owners. So lastly, what is your definition of “woke”.

WTF? Who are these people that you are talking about? It’s just another story you’ve made up to scare your starving for hate followers.

More dog whistles from Senator Sedition

You know what? This type of talk and BS is typical of you. How you’ve ever been elected defies belief. Sniveling coward who knows nothing of duty, honor, and country.

Sounds like you are projecting again

Still throwing shit against the wall.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

On Friday:

Senator Josh Hawley
[June 30, 2023]
Biden’s DOJ has systematically abused the rule of law to go after ordinary Americans—including parents and Catholics.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Utter bullsh*t. You screech paranoid nonsense like that idiot Joe McCarthy – and make about as much sense. [….]

He didn’t stand up on January 6th he ran like hell.

Will you be held accountable for $242k for open records violation?

There’s that.

I think that Hawley must look in the mirror and ask himself, “What have I done wrong?” and then accuse those he disagrees with of those transgressions. He learned well from Trump.

Please explain yourself:
St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Missouri taxpayers to pay $242,000 for records violations under Josh Hawley.

It’s funny how the Republicans had no problem with the hands on way Trump ran his DOJ. Trump strate dictated any and every move by his DOJ but the Republicans had no issues at all.

Who would believe Hawley.

What ordinary citizens or parents? I need some evidence before I believe this crap you’re pushing.

Whatever. Then prove it in front of America with more than your accusations

Hahaha… The only one who should resign is you. Trying to be a part of the insurrection and than running for your life [….]

Run, Josh, run.

You don’t seem to be bothered by the crap that Trump has done.. revenge, no agenda. Not helping American people

Little weasel manufacturing crises and spreading divisive hate for his own self-promotion…. but, kept silent and enabled during the Trump abuses.

What a totally corrupt individual, who has nothing of value to offer the American people other than to spread Trump propaganda

You are so full of it

Well Josh, you should have been kicked out of congress. You are interpting Galand’s memo to suit your own needs and agenda. His memo address violence against school board members but of course you left that out. Why don’t you show proof of Biden’s crimes. You can’t because there is none.

Do you notice how the gop has no agenda for helping people, except spreading fear and hate..

Being a traitor and making claims about anything has no value.

No one has abused the rule of law more than Donald Trump. Wake up, Hawley.

Stopped running away yet Josh?

Projection much?

There’s much more.

Which Bible was that again?

Today:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
All the usual America-hating and Bible-bashing people have had their usual meltdown. Can’t handle the TRUTH
[….]
Last edited 12:19 PM · Jun 21, 2023

What are you, like twelve years old?

Some of the responses:

On the contrary. Democrats LOVE America. That’s why we don’t fist-bump insurrectionists who trash the Capitol in a violent attempt to overturn the legitimate results of an election.

There’s that.

Referring to one’s own religion as the ‘truth’ demonstrates a disconnection from reality and a disregard for the principle of separation between church and state. But go off

You’d think a “constitutional lawyer” would understand that.

Actually slavery died in a lot of places way before America. If you forgot, they had to send troops to stop slavery in some southern states 2 years after the emancipation…we just celebrated that actually.

We just identified that your opinion is morally wrong, ideologically flawed, and historically incorrect. You can have whatever opinion you want. But neither Christianity nor the United States can take the moral high ground on slavery. But sure, gaslight us.

Sounds like you have been reading Trump’s Truth Social posts

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

I wasn’t aware stating facts about the history of the country was considered having a ‘meltdown.’

Are you calling African American church members “America Hating” and “Bible Bashing”?

Josh never studied HISTORY.

Anyone who capitalizes truth at the end of a tweet isn’t telling it

You’re with the “fine” people who wanted to hang Mike Pence right?

Dude . . . your “truth” is a complete distortion of the U.S. I’m a life-long, white Christian and I don’t believe that our country was founded so Christianity could be the only faith practiced . . . and as far as slavery goes, there was a civil war to end slavery.

You know what, Josh? I happen to identify as a Christian… and from what I’ve seen lately, neither you nor the rest of the Rethuglican Party are true Christians. You might try reading the red passages in the New Testament for once. Otherwise, there’s no hope for you.

You seem to he having some trouble with the truth.

Slavery “died” in America because most of the western world (outside of South America) had all ready put a stop to the atrocious, Bible-backed practice of owning humans.

Don’t use the Bible as a prop.

what is your message to non-Christian Americans???

Nobody is melting down over you Josh.

Sadly, when atheists act more like Jesus than you, evangelical Republicans… It’s no wonder folks are leaving the church or maybe finding another religion

Hawley should be informed that America was one of the last western countries to outlaw slavery. At the same time, he might want to know that, in terms of religion, America’s a pluralistic society. Freedom of religion is enshrined in the Constitution to which he took an oath.

The Christianity you speak of is not the teachings of Christ. Spare us your hypocrisy.

As my dad who is a pastor would say—there was no truth in your comment.

The fact that you would even dare to declare yourself the arbiter of truth is completely and utterly laughable, you treasonous smear on humanity.

And we’re back to playing the victim again, like a girly-boi.

You wouldn’t know the truth if you tripped over it.

Nothing you said was true though

As usual the republican ignores the facts in favor of stirring up their base with Bible thumping and falsehood. Keep denying the TRUTH

America and the Bible are not synonyms. And you are not the arbiter of who loves America. WE didn’t cheer on an insurrection, which we later ran from

Only the dipshits and villains in the Bible would have voted for you.

Jesus preached against everything the modern GOP stands for.

Thanks for the reminder.

No, Sweet Pea. You were just tone deaf. And also wrong. So very wrong.

Your tweet was an exercise in bad judgment; it was poorly conceived rhetoric and wholly inaccurate, Senator.

I mean, slavery ended in Britain a good 3 to 6 decades before it did in the United States, but this is consistent with my understanding of a Republican politician’s definition of “TRUTH”

I’m Jewish. Does this make me Unamerican?

My granny always told me to watch out for the LOUD people talking about how they’re christians, coz they were always the very worst people. Watch what they DO not what they SAY they do.

She was right.

You don’t know the truth.

You’re not very good at this.

You’ve never told it, insurrectionist.

I’m Jewish how is my questioning ‘Christianity is the faith’ Bible bashing?

People of other religions live in America, Josh. You are gross.

What are you, 7 years old? You don’t love this country and you don’t know the Bible. You fascists have your usual meltdowns when confronted with the truth.

Sorry, the TRUTH

That’s quite a ratio.

Once again phony political posturing by manhood expert Hawley. From Hulse at NYT “The Hawley amendment is absolutely crushed with just 17 yes votes. Even fellow Republicans were dismissive.” Of course they were. They know what he is.
9:07 PM · Jun 1, 2023

Heh.

Josh Hawley (r) introduced an amendment to the debt ceiling bill. It was deflated and didn’t fly:
