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

.

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]….”

Had a great time at our rally in Jackson County at IBEW Local 124 — lots of people fired up about taking this seat so we can finally have a Senator who will invest in Missouri. Everyday Missourians should call the shots in their own lives — not giant corporations. Not Wall Street. Not Big Pharma or Big Ag or Big Tech. Not politicians like Josh Hawley.

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.

What happened to the flatbed?

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:

Lucas Kunce @LucasKunceMO
Better idea — Fox News. First of five. Let every Missourian see it.

4th Congressional District, Democrats, Lucas Kunce, missouri, U.S. Senate

Lucas Kunce, a Democratic Party candidate for the U.S. Senate, spoke this afternoon at a gathering of 4th Congressional District Democrats.

Lucas Kunce (D).

Remarks [edited for length]:

https://showmeprogress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/LucasKunce4thDistDems100123.mp3
.

…And, so, for, for an eight year old kid. I mean, that was hard for me….because, like, I spent my birthday, you know, it wasn’t just that my parents weren’t there, but I spent it praying that my little sister wouldn’t die because, even as a kid I knew, if my sister dies on my birthday, like doe I ever get a birthday again?

[….]

I don’t know if anybody here knows what happens to a paycheck to paycheck family when any sort of disaster strikes. Now, remember, I’m not talking about the shareholder class or the financiers. We know when they screw around in the economy they get bailed out by the government, right? [“Right.”] But for all of us when that furnace that’s been limping along for two winters goes out, our car breaks down, or in my family’s case, a health disaster that’s no fault of your own, right? Unlike these financiers no fault of your own when a health condition comes, like that’s devastation for your family…

[….]

….But you would have to have the courage to learn. Courage with Josh Hawley’s (r) a stretch, right? You would have to have the courage to learn how every day people live. You’s have to have the courage to meet us, to ask questions, and to figure out what we need and do that, right? You could represent us if you wanted to do those things. Well the thing is, like, Josh Hawley (r) doesn’t want to represent in this state, does he? What does Josh Hawley want to do with us? Does he want to represent us? {“No.”] No. Josh Hawley wants to rule us. That’s what he wants to do. He wants to rule us for his own personal ambitions.

And if you doubt me, just look at his policies. He wants to control us in the bedroom, he wants to control us in the doctor’s office, he wants to control us in the workplace. I don’t know, has anybody seen the new book he’s got out? [“No.”] Manhood, by Josh Hawley. [laughter] He literally wants to control every aspect of our lives. I’m telling you what, that’s crazy, right? Like, like for twenty-nine ninety-nine you’re gonna get the secrets of masculinity from the coward of January 6th? That’s wild….

[….]

…Here’s what the guy does. He goes through every biblical figure, male biblical figure, starting with Adam, compares himself to their positive qualities, and says that if everyone were just more like Josh Hawley the masculinity crisis in America would be resolved [laughter]….

[….]

…It’s a really, really sad thing. And that’s what we’re standing up for in this, in this campaign. And so, you know, I think that one of the ways to turn that around is to invest in our state and invest in our communities again.

Anybody think Josh Hawley (r) cares about investing in our state? He voted against the infrastructure bill. He voted against legislation that would have built out the next generation of energy jobs right here in middle America. He doesn’t care about investing in the state. He cares about his big oil donors. And you know what? Say what you will about Roy Blunt (r), but Roy Blunt brought three-hundred and fifty million dollars back to this state every single year. Like that’s part of the job. Part of the job. You know how much Josh Hawley (r) brings back every years? Literally zero…

An ad from Lucas Kunce’s (D) U.S Senate campaign:

[A message from Jon Hamm, born and raised in Missouri.]

Manhood.

You’d hope that means courage.

Courage isn’t something you can give speeches
or write a book about.

It’s not sitting on the sidelines while others sacrifice,
or denying help to those who did.

It isn’t putting people down or trying to control them,
or using your own power for profit or ambition.

In Missouri, you can’t fake courage.

We’re the Show-Me State.

Courage is something you have to show us.

It shows in the working class people that pitch in
to help the family next door bankrupted by medical bills.

It shows in the Marine who signed up to honor
and serve the community that took care of him.

It shows when a Missourian stands up to the powerful.
When he fights to rebuild his state.

To empower people, to secure our future.

If you want to be told about manhood,
some guy wrote a book about it.

But if you want someone to show you courage,
send Lucas Kunce to the Senate.

Well, Josh (r)?
