What an idiot.
The same has been said about Ted Cruz. Look how that turned out.
As someone who lived in Missouri for ~20 years I must say that when it comes to electing blinkered ideologues who can barely tie their own shoes, Missouri gives Kansas a pretty good run for their money.
A little bit of Schadenfreude:
Local pressure starting to manifest publicly:
Those aren’t the people who elected him. If the protests start to spread out from KC and St Louis, then it might mean something.
This. Hawley is in no real trouble with the purple who got him elected.
The list of donors and mentors who have abandoned him seems to indicate otherwise.
Or are they not “the people who got him elected”?
You mean the purple calling for violets at the Capitol?
oh booooooooo
Azure you’re using the right words?
After everything that happened at the Capitol last week, Hawley continued to enflame.
He should resign or be expelled. I’m still undecided if he should share blame in the murder of the policeman…
Maybe not. I admit to being a bit of a maroon at times.
Yes, those purple.
RINOs all. He’ll be able to get enough cash from various sources to run enough adds to keep the Trump base riled up and voting for him.
Since Hawley’s attack on Arizona and Pennsylvania voters failed, don’t those states now get the opportunity to try to vote out Missouri’s senators? I’m pretty sure that the Founders established turn-based voting like this given the travel difficulties in getting all the combatants together in that era and this allowed participation by mail since we had a working postal service back then.
If Hawley was up for reelection in 2022 I could imagine him losing but memories are short and 2024 is a long way away.
This thread makes me blue.
The red hats collided with the blue hats at the capitol, the congress critters were marooned.
It makes me want to puce.
