This evening:

The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln
Brian Williams on @11thHour: @HawleyMO is “about to intimately get to know the men and women of the Lincoln Project it would appear”

You damn right he is.

Own it.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2018 file photo].

Too late, today:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
This is thuggery and violators must be punished to the fullest extent allowed under federal law. We cannot heal our divides as a nation if this lawlessness persists.
4:15 PM · Jan 6, 2021

You built this.

Resign.

Some of the responses:

These are pro-Trump thugs who support what you are planning to do: overthrow an election that was fair.

You have helped fan this fire. Shame!

You fanned these flames, Vicky. This is on you, and every one of your cronies. Shame.

This is the republican party. You are complicit in allowing the rhetoric that caused this.

You contributed to this toxicity. You poured gasoline on this specific fire. Please don’t be shocked that it is burning out of control.

This lawlessness is a product of the divide, if change doesn’t happen then this reaction will only further divide the people.

It’s Antifa. MAGA doesn’t storm the Capitol. The truth will come out.

We rest our case.

Really??? What were you saying yesterday? SMDH

These are your people! You are them!

Or backing up presidential lies that threaten national security which was true befits today & became true. You didn’t help this matter.

You enabled this. Don’t think you didn’t.

This is on you! This is how your time in office will be remembered.

This is on YOU. YOU supported these people.

Look who’s going in to damage control mode after pumping up baseless conspiracy theories and objecting to a democratic election.

Trump is the root cause of what occurred in the capital building.
Period.

This is what you incited!! So what say you now!!

Complicit.

Maybe you and your party shouldn’t have promoted this sort of lawlessness for four years, then?

These are your supporters. It starts with you.

You aggressively support the treasonous thug who incited this.

Conveniently sidestepping your part in inciting this.

By breaking your oath of office, “to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic,that you will bear true allegiance to the same”; you helped bring today’s attack on our Capitol to fruition.

You pushed this hateful agenda. You own it.

Your support for Donald Trump was instrumental in fomenting the insurrection at the Capitol. As a citizen of #Missouri, I call upon you to resign.

@RepHartzler this insurrection is a direct result of your seditious support of the bogus Texas lawsuit that sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans. You are complicit and now there is blood on your hands. #SeditionCaucus

You need to accept responsibility for this as well! Shame on you!

Then stop lying with claims of a stolen election. You incited this violence.

hey Vicky you were participant in this fiasco today and very much an embarrassment to Missouri….you are simply a tRump Sychophant

Good. When are you turning yourself in, traitor?

You incited this shit you coward! You are treasonous and complicit. Your words and actions helped these thugs believe these actions were not only necessary but supported by you! YOU have blood on your hands! I’m fucking embarrassed you are my representative. Coward.

You need to resign

You are in large part to blame for this with your baseless lies and conspiracy theories! This attempted coup is on you, Madam. You need to be held responsible for the dismantling of our democracy.

You are as complicit in this as Hawley, Cruz, and Trump is. You should announce publicly that you support the results of the Electoral College and that Biden is the next President of the United States of America. Then you should resign as you cannot be trusted by the people.

You’re a fucking idiot. You are complicit by encouraging these idiot Trumpsters to riot by your falsely claiming that the election was rigged and fraudulent. It’s too late to claim innocence and indignation now

#Traitor

You will forever be tied to domestic terrorism. We will not forget.

We need to start with you and the other house and seditious senators! You do not represent Missouri or America! #SeditiousGOP

Impeach Donald Trump again. And finish the job this time. We can’t afford two more weeks of his arson.
