2nd Legislative District, General Assembly, Mazzie Boyd, missouri, right wingnut, social media

Yesterday:

Mazzie Boyd, State Representative
[July 20, 2023]
Some of you libtards can’t say the same.
[….]

Who? And who?

A Missouri state representative writes stuff like this?

The cruelty is the point. And notoriety, apparently.

Some of the responses:

Demeaning folks with cognitive disabilities and propping up sundown towns all in one little sentence. Good job, girl!

What a gross way to speak to people.

I could not care less about the Jason Aldean song, but I would love to see any elected official who uses slurs like this, which disparage and disrespect individuals with disabilities, voted out of office. Words matter.

This is an incredibly immature post.

As a special education teacher, I can assure you that the government (that you work for!) has deemed “tard” an inappropriate suffix in describing those with specific learning disabilities. Perhaps you should try better representing your country, no matter what “side”you are on. Better yet, why not represent EVERYONE in your state district, as is implied in the name of your position, and don’t take sides at all? I’m glad you’re no representative of mine.

please explain when you use the word “libtard” what are you really saying?
The use of -tard as a suffix for anything you are trying to mock, belittle or use as an insult isn’t cute or clever. It is hateful and cowardly. You represent people who have disabilities. They deserve your respect as much as anyone.
June 26 you have a post about making it your “aim to love as God loves”. Do better

I just want to second this statement. This is sad coming from an elected official who represents all constituents, many who may have disabilities or love those with disabilities. Actually, is any name calling really necessary?

It’s about punching those who have little or no power. The cruelty is the point.

As a person with a child who has disabilities and lives in your state you can kindly GFY. You’re so unbelievably nasty you don’t know the first thing about being a Christian. Horrible, lying christian terrorist propagandist is what you are.

A sitting member of the Missouri House of Representatives calling her constituents, the people that she works for, “libtards”. Quite the power move

The term libtards?? Really glad you’re not my rep.

Rep. Mazzie Boyd (r):

[….] a Republican, represents Worth, Caldwell, Daviess, Grundy, and Harrison counties (District 2) in the Missouri House of Representatives. She was elected to her first two-year term in November 2022.

In addition to her legislative duties, Boyd works as an accounting assistant. Prior to being elected, Boyd served in the White House as an executive assistant to the Director of Presidential Personnel John McEntee under the Trump administration, as well as a war room analyst for Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. She also worked as an intern for U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, and a communications assistant for the Congressional Office of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

[….]

That explains a lot.

Some of the sponsored legislation in the last session:

HB 224 – (0987H.01I)
Designates the official state rifle
HB 463 – (1254H.01I)
Creates provisions relating to gender transition procedures
HB 498 – (1219H.01I)
Includes businesses that host drag performances in the definition of a sexually oriented business
HB 712 – (1240H.03C)
Establishes the Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act
HB 1159 – (2501H.01I)
Prohibits the state librarian from disbursing funds to libraries that offer obscene materials to children

That explains a lot.

John McEntee (r).

That explains a lot.

We get the representation we deserve

And that is not a good thing.

Today:

Welcome to my Jefferson City office!

Which version? Of either. Just asking.

A few of the responses:

Teachers are busy teaching children to survive active shooters in school. I guess we could arm kids with Bibles to throw at a school shooter?

yeppers, nothing says the good book like a glock!! “thout shall always carry guns everywhere especially in schools” corinthians 13 4-8

religion doesn’t belong in our schools, Your beliefs shouldn’t be shoved down others throats.

Our constitution says differently regarding religion…..this leads me to believe you are against our own laws & constitution…..

I don’t think it suggests that it should be taught in schools, I think she is just pandering to morons.

What does this mean as it relates to your responsibility to provide good government for all the people of Missouri, not just those who may agree with you?

Heh. This is Missouri.

Which version of the Bible would you want them to teach from? Does the school board vote on “trespassers” or “debtors”? Can teachers who are divorced lead the prayer? What about *gasp* female teachers who cut their hair and wear pants? Are Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim prayers allowed?
I have so many questions about how you want to incorporate religious studies into public school education.

Mazzie only cares about “her religion” and her interpretation of it. She’d lose her mind if this was suggested by someone of a different faith.

Not every American is a Christian.
And just in case you forgot, AMERICA ISN’T A CHRISTIAN NATION.

I pity you.

Disturbing and unprofessional.

My thoughts and prayers are with your supposed freedom of religion.

A poorly written book of fiction and a handgun?

You would think someone wanting to be a state representative would understand separation of church and state. You would also think they would understand religious freedom. However, I guess that’s asking too much.

I think guns end up in schools way too often

There’s that.

Keep all religion out of our schools! We do NOT want to be like the Taliban!
This is not a Christian nation.
It is a nation in which you are free to be Christian.

what happens when guns do end up in schools? any plans on keeping our kids from mass shootings?

The last thing Missouri needs is another Christofascist in our statehouse.

God this is so cringe

More guns in schools? Brilliant! Needs less mythology though.

Earning some brownie points with your idiot supporters?

This is super lame

Absolutely idiotic

you want to use the gun to force people to read the book.
admit it.

where does jesus tell you to pick up a gun?

whatever justifies your fear-based hatred.

Imagine being this fucking stupid and just announcing it like this.
