Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Instead, he appears on the GOP propaganda network. Late last night:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
.@seanhannity had me on to discuss tonight: Nancy Pelosi & the Dems are afraid to try their phony impeachment case. They want to stop Senate trial. Maybe forever. Senate has to fight back!
[….]
9:27 PM · Jan 6, 2020

He doth protest too much, methinks.

Tool.

Some of the responses:

Because it is phony, you have no problem in having Bolton testify before the entire Senate, right?

Wow the insanity of the right can’t get worse – or can it. John Bolton will testify – so let him and if he proves President Trump innocent that is better than pretending he wasn’t impeached – he was!!!!

“They don’t have any evidence.”?
They have plenty of testimony in the House Intelligence committee that shows Trump soliciting a bribe (a favor) from Ukraine and using military aid as leverage.

Trump’s escalating panic and McConnell’s struggling to prevent Republican defections as new witnesses and information keep appearing would suggest otherwise.

Seriously, your smug smile, I dare you to have a real trial. No one misunderstands your eagerness to dismiss…May history treat you with brutal honesty…

You are a total stooge for the party. Do you stand for anything?

Thank God Twitter doesn’t play sound automatically so my ears aren’t abused by your fake man of the people act.

It wasn’t a flatbed.

This is NOT partisan! A fair trial with witnesses is not an unreasonable request. Aren’t you fighting the wrong fight?

I didn’t want you in office either. I don’t know why you’re trashing Pelosi when the Senate rules haven’t been agreed on. Why don’t you get to work on that?

It’s a sad day when a California representative is looking out for me and my country more than my own Senator.

Well, it is her job.

You have got to be kidding. Vote to call @AmbJohnBolton to testify, then we’ll see the dog and pony show you have for us.

Fox and Friends in the morning and Hannity at night. You have plenty of time Basic Cable Pravda but no will to host Town Halls in your *ahem* home state.

You just don’t get it. Remarkable. How did you get through Yale on your own?

“Afraid” and “Nancy Pelosi” do not belong in the same sentence, unless you’re admitting you’re afraid of her.

@HawleyMO a disgrace to his State & his Country. His words & actions will find him out. Signed His Constituent.

Go on a real news network youngster.

I truly believe he is going to be President one day

Now that the bar is so low.

Again… Reminder: You are a public servant not a Fox News contributor. You have been in the Senate a year now, would be nice if you hosted your first town hall.

I like senators I can respect….and Josh isn’t a person I can respect.

It makes my stomach hurt that he supposedly represents our state to the rest of the country & the world.

You disgrace our state. Shameful. I’d ask you to come to Kansas City to discuss, bit that would interfere with all of your Fox News airtime. Would never want to do that….

Is it so hard to come up with Senate rules for a trial, and to call relevant witnesses? Are you so desperate to get the articles because your guy just keeps criming?

Your first problem is associating yourself with Hannity. Seriously, Josh, your decision to go on his show just screams partisanship.
Oh, and by the way, could you talk Trump off the ledge, please?

Did not know who you were before tonight. I saw a few minutes of your interview w/Hannity. Dear lord! Is every single US Senator as dimwitted as you. Clueless re decency, patriotism, facts, the Constitution….we need leaders in the Senate who give a damn re the truth and Anerica

Hawley, you are a fool. You have fallen into the trap of narcissism. Get some witnesses. Let Bolton, and the others testify. American people want the truth. You are stopping it.

You’re an embarrassment to MO and worse than that, you’re spreading false information. Wanting to call witnesses doesn’t sound like a “phony case,” it sounds like an honest one.

Thanks for clearly stating you support a corrupt asshat over your country

“Faux News channel, fascist groupies” – protest sign, circa 2003- 2004.

Koch Money: because Josh Hawley (r) will never need to hold over fifty open public town halls across Missouri (October 7, 2018)

Whereupon Josh Hawley (r) suddenly discovers that he has over 6,000,000 constituents (January 10, 2019)

Sen. Roy Blunt (r): What, me worry?

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

This morning:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Soleimani led Iran’s worldwide terrorist efforts. Hopefully his death sends a message to those in control of Iran that there is a price to be paid for being the number one state sponsor of terrorism.
7:54 AM · Jan 3, 2020

Some of the responses:

Waiting for a Trump press conference today to publicly answer questions from the Press,

Europe and other allies are silent on this. This is on us. More wars on us. Great. Thank you Senator Blunt

It sends the message that you guys are easy for our sons to go to war for your interests.

No one will forget that you were Trump’s boy through all of this. You are complicit in everything that’s to come.

Have you ever, once in your life, thought?

Our all volunteer force is being used as a re-election tool. We have been in constant undeclared wars since 1991. Next you will be passing the equal rights amendment so you can draft our daughters to fill the ranks.

That’s very small government and pro life of you, Roy

Yes, @RoyBlunt, what is the plan?

*hopefully*

But Senator, are you at all concerned that the Executive branch has overstepped Congressional authority in using military force. Know how much you cite the Founding Fathers. Even General Washington got Continental Congress approval throughout the American Revolution.

They only care about that when the president is Democrat (like when Obama wanted to bomb Syria and they wouldn’t approve and threatened impeachment if he proceeded). When it is a Republican it shows leadership and strength to act unilaterally.

Your grandsons going to head to the middle East when needed, Roy? We all know that answer, don’t we?

Wag the Dog

This was a foolish move for POTUS to make. I seem to remember something abt him bringing our troops home??

I see you really believe in this, so when do your grandkids ship out to fight Iran?

Do you support war with Iran Senator?

Trump orders secret attack in Iraq, holds press conference to explain it to the American public …
Just kidding – he heads for another hate rally in Mississippi

Many more Americans will die because of this insane president’s actions. He is merely trying to deflect his impeachment. Disgusting.

Cool. Tell me again how you’re ‘pro-life’.

If the equivalent American government official were killed by Iran, how would we respond? By backing down? Fucking idiot.

Rep. Jason Smith (r): inopportune

Definitely not in the loop, eh? Not the best timing.

Yesterday afternoon:

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
Speaker Pelosi knows her #impeachmentsham was a fraud. Her work was so sloppy and negatively received that Senate Democrats are asking her to not send the #ArticlesOfImpeachment over to the Senate because they lack any evidence and it is not something they want to vote on.
2:02 PM – 2 Jan 2020

There was much hilarity in the responses:

These people all testified about what they knew. We watched them on tv. It wasn’t a sham. You are lying, like all of the republicans. Party over country.

Have your boys testify if you aren’t scared of truth coming out. Can’t have it both ways.

so tired of @Gop #Fairytales. Too much evidence to claim innocence. #CallTheWitnesses #RemoveandIndictTrump

I see @SpeakerPelosi has taken up residence in your head.

you don’t keep up with the news, do you?

Those e-mails.

Ummmmm, did you just wake up?
The truth is crumbling your lies and trump’s defense on an hourly basis.
Please stop your perverse need to please the criminal in the WH and do your dam job.

Dick tweet. But one must consider the source. The Party of Liars (Republicans) can’t be trusted and are therefore irrelevant

Sham? You worship a corrupt criminal.

You’re a waste of space.

Resign

You are out of touch with reality!

Actually, they appear to be considering additional impeachment action. And now Trump is doing exactly what he accused his predecessor of doing. Starting a war as a distraction and to boost his support going into a election.

Fake Representative.

Sycophant works, too.

Who are you again??

You think your constituents are stupid? There’s more and more evidence to support impeachment everyday. Read the unredacted emails Jason. We see you. #CorruptGOP

E-mails. The irony.

Everything you said is a complete and total lie. Stop treating your constituents like they’re idiots.

Maybe you should pull your head out of Donald’s ass you wimp

“Thoughtless Sycophant” would be a much more family friendly turn of phrase.

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

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): Oopsie, again…

Yesterday:

U.S. Representative Lawrence Clarifies Statement on LeDuff Podcast
November 26, 2019 Press Release

Detroit, MI – Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence (MI-14) issued the following statement in clarification of her interview with Charlie LeDuff:

“I was an early supporter for impeachment in 2017. The House Intelligence Committee followed a very thorough process in holding hearings these past two weeks. The information they revealed confirmed that this President has abused the power of his office, therefore I continue to support impeachment.

However, I am very concerned about Senate Republicans and the fact that they would find this behavior by the President acceptable.”

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
The impeachment inquiry only highlights divides in our nation. It has prevented us from working together to deliver real results for hardworking people.

The election is 11 months away. Let the American people decide President Trump’s political future.
[….]
10:36 AM · Nov 26, 2019

The American people decided Donald Trump’s political future on November 6, 2018. Don’t you remember?

As usual, there was much hilarity in the responses:

No, Vicky, the impeachment inquiry highlights that trump is utterly corrupt and should be removed from office. Impeach, Convict, Remove! Then in November 2020, VOTE BLUE!

there is a criminal in the white house and he should be held accountable.

Okay.

I decide… to impeach and remove Donald J. Trump from office.

But in the meantime u want us to turn a blind eye to the lawlessness of what he HAS done??

Sure sounds like that, don’t it?

@HouseGOP @FoxNews “Republicans hope lying will work better then their current start of defending the indefensible”

Vicky endorses trump’s crimes

It actually highlights the departure from truth and consequence by all @GOP. You’d have to be a fool to believe a word from @potus or any republican. Have a nice day, Vicky.

That’s the same as “bless your heart” if you live north of the river, right?

No, the highlights are that the American people are seeing the depth of corruption in our government, and not just from this administration, others also. The American people need to stand up for the constitution & hold even Presidents accountable, impeach and set the example.

That is not a defense.

BTW
– the gov’t has been divided since 2010
– trump & the GOP have made it worse
– 200+ bills waiting for
@senatemajldr to act

Got caught in the act. Withholding military aid in exchange for a personal favor is bribery (aka quid pro quo). Aid was released when the coverup scheme blew up

A crinimal potus who likens himself to Jesus Christ, compromises our national security and believes he is above the law, is what’s dividing our nation. My question is why doesn’t this bother you?
#CorruptGOP

Lol. Nope. Trump for prison.

How about we respect rule of law and punish those not following it? Crazy idea, huh?

Where is your responsibility in check a branches abuse of power?

No. Goddammit. He is corrupt and I’m sick & tired of the GOP pretending he is not. His entire entourage are corrupt. Most have had to resign because of ethics violations. Others have gone to prison. This corrupt administration is insufferable. What happens when he defies SCOTUS?

by that time, it’ll be too late. Just watch.

“It has prevented us from working together.” SERIOUSLY? Are you high??? They have committed crimes!

That is a fatuous argument.

@realDonaldTrump is accused of cheating on the last election and attempting to cheat on the next election. Are we guaranteed that he won’t still try to cheat? No.

He can’t be trusted. Let the investigation finish, and probably #ImpeachAndRemove.

Had to look that one up. Heh.

this from the party who said “we’re going to make sure Obama is a one-term president”

working together, it seems is convenient when your party is on the defense

#HeyGOPAmericansArentStupid

But, maybe their base is.

This is always your answer except if you had the chance to put another justice on the court your mantra would change. You continue to lie to the American people!

Please provide the name of the survey to which you are referencing? I believe the number were just released last night showing no change in the last 7 days. Naming your Source is the always best practice. Bills are moving forward to die in $ Moscow Mitch’s Graveyard.

Eat shit #welfarevicky

Well. That individual certainly has a strong opinion.

Sure vicky. Who cares if he broke the law. Nice concept

Impeachment or not, it is good to know what Trump is doing behind our backs. Who knows what else he will do to this country before the next election. Do you really want to wait that long and see the division getting even wider with more violence?

So you are saying trump hasn’t been divisive? You are saying if their is wrongdoing let it go?

Well, he is. And he’s confessed on TV.

So someone who is cheating and abusing their power, to win an election. To say that we should wait until after that election to do anything is just dumb. You know when everyone who worked on this says that he is guilty. It takes a special kind of stupid to say let’s wait.

You are an idiot. It’s about the soul of our country and holding this President and future Presidents accountable. If you do not understand that, I strongly suggest you resign immediately

Or you could stop kissing the ass of a traitor.

There is that.

It’ll be an easy vote for the Trump sycophant

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

From Josh Hawley (r), yesterday evening, via Twitter:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
One year since the U.S. withdrew from the terrible Iran nuclear deal and Iran is already threatening to stockpile & resume uranium enrichment unless we prop up their failing economy. Our partners and allies should not give in to nuclear blackmail
[….]
6:35 PM – 8 May 2019

WTF? Uh, Donald Trump (r) withdrew the United States from the deal.

Some of the responses:

Yes, Josh. When one side fails honor their end of a deal, the other side tends to not keep their end up either. One year of Trump’s policy and what do we have? Iran back to enriching uranium. Americans still in jail or missing. More chaos in the region.

Call me a skeptic but I doubt any man who negotiated his way to losing $1 billion over a decade is going to how the hell to negotiate a complex nuclear deal.

So maybe the “terrible deal” was actually a pretty good deal?

What partners?

Ironic or sarcastic? Your guess is as good as mine.

Don’t you have some kid’s video game to ruin?

That’s definitely sarcastic.

The 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council+Germany+Iran were signatories.The only country to break the treaty & exit the deal is the US.
Deal was verifiable.
The US is pushing Iran into a corner.
Mortifying but true: our country is the one destabilizing this situation.

We abandoned the deal unilaterally, and somehow the Iranians are supposed to be the bad guys for adhering to the deal we abandoned for an additional year?

Does anyone in your office have _any_ respect for your constituents? Your contempt for us and reality is pathetic.

This is perhaps the most dumb tweet you’ve made. And that is an impressive accomplishment.

I’m sad that I have to wait so long to vote against you.

Josh, I’m no foreign policy expert, but it might have something to do with the #BillionDollarLoser withdrawing from the deal for no good reason and against advice from both his Sec. of Defense and National Security Adviser. Also, you are an embarrassment to Missouri.

Well, compared to Donald Trump (r) you certainly are a foreign policy expert.

Hey genius, they weren’t threatening to stockpile & resume uranium enrichment when the “terrible” deal was in force. You sure you went to an elite law school? [….]

One of those fancy ones.

What did we expect to happen? I don’t get “already.” We walked out on the agreement. This had to have been expected, no?

Expect Kim Jong-un to be thinking that it would be stupid to make any deal with Trump.

Your complicity to this failed white house is putting our country in danger.

Thanks to orange Nixon’s tax cut the deficit is higher than ever, you and your cronies are trying to get rid of what little healthcare we have, and now you’re advocating for another war?
Utter bullshit.
Sign up for your own damn war and take the 1% with you.

Whatever trump says the puppet repeats. You are a dangerous sycophant.

We noticed that, too.

What would you expect them to do-we pulled out of the deal. Spare us your fake outrage. It’s similar to how you ran your Senate race running commercials about health care-straight up lying -you were part of the lawsuit. We’re on to you #Gaslighting

You realize you’re owning yourself in this tweet, right?

No. But he did attend one of those fancy law schools.

What allies? We ditched them all when we unilaterally backed out of the agreement.

Senator, I’m not really hearing a solution here. What’s the GOP’s plan here? So far Trump broke America’s word, removing all incentive to slow down Iran’s enrichment program, all while making incendiary comments increasing tensions. What are you doing as my senator to solve this?

Nothing.

Dumbest fucking thing I’ve read today. Good job.

I can’t believe you’re actually whining about Iran not holding up their end of a deal your boss walked away from. You are an empty shirt, and a syncophant of the highest order. A soulless automaton that cannot think for itself.

You and your idiot ignorant party will drag us into a huge war. The republican party has zero clue with regards to common sense, let alone geo-political affairs.

You effing morons.

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): all in on Donald Trump’s (r) wall

“Who’s going to pay for the wall?” “Mexico!”

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

Early today on Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
We need to #BuildTheWall! I’ve visited the border & seen the danger. Cartels are bringing billions of $ of drugs across our open border which come to our communities & kill our kids. This must stop! #SafetyFirst #FundTheWall
4:31 AM – 19 Dec 2018

Much hilarity ensued. Some of the responses:

So many untruths in this tweet, I don’t know where to begin. I will just say #LiesMatter!

Sending you thoughts and prayers, Vicky. I love how you can so adamantly support a border wall because of “kids,” but you haven’t supported efforts to reduce gun violence where children are victims.

I was told Mexico was going to pay for it. Maybe we should ask the Chinese, they’re already paying for our Agriculture Stimulus.

I’m pretty relieved I don’t live in your district anymore. This is just a bad faith tweet.

Use taxpayer funds judiciously by improving border security not by wasting $ on a wall.

So, by visiting there you are an expert?? Do you have drug cartel $ figures from a legitimate reliable source? (We remember your marijuana study claims). Walls are outdated, check Into stepping up border security by investing in technology options such as car scanning machines

A wall isn’t going to actually stop the cartels. This isn’t the 1600’s (and walls didn’t really work all that well then either). But hey, since we have so much extra money just sitting around doing nothing, why not. #FiscalConservativeNOT

YOU are part of the problem. Why do you swallow and promote this crapola? All reasonable people are for border security. None believe that a physical wall is the answer.

And isn’t Mexico supposed to pay for this wall or as Sarah Sanders said POTUS will find money from other agencies that is not taxpayer funded. Which ones are those by the way. When was the last time Trump visited the border?

Best way to stop the cartels is stopping your support for them through the drug war.
#decriminalize #legalize #freedom

Fearmonger. You should be ashamed.

Stop the fear mongering- u know this is not true.

The drugs will continue coming as long as Americans are buying. No wall will prevent that. Please don’t waste our tax dollars. We have looked at the problem and it is US!

Is it worth shutting down the government?

Whatever sycophant.

If only you gave a shit about the 40,000 gun deaths and daily mass shootings.</blockquote

Trump is backing down from building a wall now he wants an artistically steel slats fence. Is Vicky going to pay for the fence or is Mexico. A $25 ladder will solve your $25 billion dollar wall/ artistically steel slat fence. Vicky loves spending taxpayers money.

Are we gone build a wall around the drug dealering corporations manufacturing and distributing opiates to our kids? Or is that just for the nonwhite drug dealers?

What’s it like being pure evil?

you are on the wrong side of history

Oh please. You’re insane.

We’re not buying what you and Trump are selling. Our nation has a record debt, and the last thing we need is an ineffective, 5 billion-dollar border wall!

If this is all about illegal drugs, there is not a physical wall of any length or height to stop providers world-wide (not just south of the US border) from supplying the apparently insatiable demand. Stopping/limiting demand is the only defense/cure.

I LIVE on the border and can tell you that you’re full of fear-mongering sh*t.

Seems to me the threat of thousands of your constituents losing their healthcare (especially those with pre-existing conditions) is a bigger threat than this, yet “crickets” on healthcare. FYI lack of healthcare kills our kids too.
