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

Yesterday evening:

All In with Chris Hayes @allinwithchris
Hey @HawleyMO, just circling back to see if you saw the threats to school officials across the country. We made a montage for you in case you didn’t.
[….]
8:04 PM · Oct 5, 2021

Watch the video.

Some of the comments:

He’s taking this position when an out of stater charged with 260 counts of fraud, threatened Walmart pharmacists with execution & came to Hawley’s home turf to rant at the local school board meeting. [….]

It used to be that when someone’s perception of reality was this far off base he would get a trip in a special jacket so that he could not hurt himself. Now they just lie about where they live and get elected to office. [….]

Nurses in his state have to carry panic buttons. He doesn’t care.

Dude’s a traitor.

Help with with this. Is his the same Josh Hawley who called police and said he was being attacked when peaceful protestors walked in front of his house carrying signs earlier this year?

If you are expecting Hawley, or any member of the GOP, to suddenly start being intellectually honest, you will he waiting a loooong time.

@HawleyMO, we need your clarification in light of these threats. Do you support such conduct? For the record please!

If Josh took any interest in his home state, he’d know one of these “concerned parents” threatened a black admin with “something worse than lynching” this week. But he only cares about what his handlers say & his political ambitions.

Virginia!

Except the “MY” state should have been Virginia. Ain’t nobody in Missouri every seen him.

So embarrassing. I voted for Claire McCaskill.

so when a few people demonstrating with posters stood outside his house it was “harrassment”,but says the parents threatening the school board is ok?

Please find out how many days Josh Hawley has actually BEEN in Missouri since he was elected. Maybe he’s unaware of the real threats to individuals in Missouri since he lives in Virginia.

Good to know that Josh stands for law, order and tourism. The videos just show tourists at school board meetings.

I’m old enough to remember when Hawley was part of an insurrection.

Josh Hawley thinks this will get him elected President.

Well, there is a really low bar for his party’s nomination.

I can’t believe Hawley thinks he’s senatorial.

He does pompous ass really well.

He’s a jackass

That, too.

Josh Hawley isn’t being sincere about threats at school board meetings. The American people have SEEN the verifiable threats made to educators, in the parking lots & in their cars.
Josh, when someone says to them: “We know where you live & we’re coming for you!”
It’s a threat.

If only everyone in the world knew what a lying, disingenuous, piece of shit he was before he was elected.
Oh wait, we did. Yet there’s enough partisan idiots in Missouri to put him in a position of power. Good work dumbasses

If Josh Hawley clutched those pearls any harder, he’d turn them into diamonds

Hawley knows exactly what he is doing, get these right wingers amped up so that they get themselves arrested. Keep playing that dog whistle.

So out of line. He knows, he is just an opportunist.

With any luck this will be part of the historical record and a continuing embarrassment for generations of his descendants.

Yesterday:

Senator John Cornyn @JohnCornyn
Blah blah blah
[….]
7:47 PM · Mar 22, 2020

Some of the responses:

Why don’t you fucking quit. You act more like a schoolyard bully than a Senator. You’ve harmed the country, and you’re seeking to give billions to big corporations.

Just quit.

From Joe Lockhart: Have another corona asshat

I sure hope the hell you folks say you believe in, exists, John. You’re a shoo-in.

Constituent here. We are on to you. You robbed us after 9/11, you robbed us in 2008. Not again. No bail outs for stock buy backs determined by foreclosure guy.

From Kurt Eichenwald: I can’t tell you the depth of the contempt I feel for you right now. Why don’t you call my colleague whose cousin died and start telling your corona beer joke and “blah blah blah.” Oh, and as you laugh at the sick and the dead, tell us what a great Christian you are. Grow up!

Oh he’s all grown up. What he needs to do is fuck right off.

Everyone is embarrassed for you dude

Can you imagine being an ancestor of this guy?
Shudder.

Can you imagine being a descendant?

I’d say you’re acting like a toddler, but that would be an insult to actual toddlers.

American workers are out of work. Families are struggling. Small businesses are closing. The GOP wants to give a massive bailout to large corporations and yet again leave American workers behind. You’re acting like a 12 year old. Do your job. #FamiliesFirst #WorkersFirst

If you don’t care about this, and you’ve made it pretty clear that you don’t, then you should resign and let someone who actually gives a damn about Americans and Texans take your place.

There is a pandemic. It’s threatening the health and financial security of millions of Americans.

You wanted a slush fund for corporate bailouts.

Dems said no.

Your response is “blah blah blah”

In a time of crisis, what a serious leader you are….

You are just terrible.

If you don’t want the job, stop running for it.

This is SERIOUS! Just try, for once in your life, to do the right thing.

We’re in the middle of a national emergency, and you’re acting like a snotty eight-year-old. Great job.

You are really really bad at your job.

$500 billion for corporations. And, you have the gall to mock someone who is trying to help the American people. Shame on you.

Sounds like you don’t have the attention span for the job. Maybe you should go.

I sincerely hope you lose in November. You’re useless.

Good to know you hate Americans and only want corporations to be saved

Dallas County is under shelter in place rules starting Monday night because projections are ~half a million Texans will die if our leaders don’t take this seriously and act now.
Armed with this knowledge,
@JohnCornyn gives us “blah blah blah”.
That’s today’s GOP.

Not only are you a horrible human being. You’re also a truly worthless Senator.

You are an abomination. Resign

It goes on and on…
