Josh Hawley is a confident, macho man who can stand on his own. The quick-footed senator can’t be threatened or intimidated.
He’s a MAN, remember?! (And if you don’t, you can buy his book: Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs.)
That is… unless it comes to endorsing Donald Trump for president. The Menace of Mar-a-Lago didn’t even have to ask.
He just… inferred.
“So interesting that the Democrats are looking hard at the senate races in both Missouri and Texas. Josh and Ted must be very careful, stranger things have happened!!!” posted Trump on his crazy social media site.
In other words, Trump knows Hawley is vulnerable, and is trying to poke him. Polling out of Missouri shows Hawley only leading his presumed Democratic challenger, Lucas Kunce, 46 to 42, which is within the 4.9% margin of error.
Kunce and his killer thighs seem capable of pulling off an upset.
“I’m with him. He’s asked me several times to support him. I said ‘yes,’ and I’ve been saying for a year that I think he’s gonna be the nominee. I support him. I’m gonna vote for him,” Hawley said. “Don’t worry — you can put me down as support, endorsed, stand with.”
Hawley has tried to package himself as a strong voice tearing down congressional witnesses over issues like transgender athletes and women’s locker rooms, and antisemitism.
But it just never seems to work out. Whenever Hawley goes for his star turn, he face plants.
Getting bested in rhetorical combat by the *head of the NCAA* is among the most embarrassing things (though obvs not at the top of the list) that this man will achieve in his entire career https://t.co/U3LfzlOK7d
Maybe his most embarrassing moment came last month, when he accused Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for tolerating antisemitism.
Mayorkas reminded Hawley that his mother died in the Holocaust.
“Senator Hawley takes an adversarial approach to me in this question, and perhaps he doesn’t know my own background,” said Mayorkas.
“Perhaps he doesn’t know that I am the child of a Holocaust survivor. Perhaps he does not know that my mother lost almost all of her family at the hands of the Nazis. So I find his adversarial tone to be entirely misplaced. I find it to be disrespectful of me and my heritage. And I do not expect an apology, but I did want to say what I just articulated.”
Interestingly enough, Cruz, who is also facing a tough reelection campaign against presumed Democratic nominee Colin Allred, hasn’t kowtowed to Trump… yet.
He’s too busy stiffing reporters who ask him about Texas blocking a young mother from ending a life-threatening pregnancy.
“Call our press office.” Chicken sh*t Ted Cruz repeatedly refuses to comment on Kate Cox, the Texas woman denied an abortion by his state. (Video: MSNBC) pic.twitter.com/CmKhPwqfpJ
But if you want to ask Cruz about something that’s irrelevant to his responsibilities, such as the turmoiling engulfing Harvard’s president, he’s your man!
Ted Cruz on Harvard President: You know my podcast.. yesterday’s podcast is entirely on this pic.twitter.com/t52FyjXeQC
Given that Cruz ultimately supported Trump in 2016 and 2020, despite Trump calling his wife “ugly,” we expect the unpopular Texas senator to rally behind our quadruple-indicted, twice-impeached, one-term president, too.
But he’s not doing it yet. Hawley is well ahead of him.
Tough look for the self-proclaimed toughest man on the senate panel.
He’s literally shredding his clothes to make money.

Not to be a stickler, and I know I shouldn’t read in detail, but the article states, “Mayorkas reminded Hawley that his mother died in the Holocaust.” That seems impossible to believe, because Mayorkas was born in Cuba in 1959, that is, some 14 years after the holocaust. It seems more accurate to say that Mayorkas reminded Hawley that members of Mayorkas’ mother’s family were killed in the holocaust.
As regards Hawley, he’s one of those craven, amoral, well-educated careerists (see also Ron DeSaster) who has decided that pandering to the poorly educated is the key to his political fortunes. He’ll be lucky to survive the next election.
And Hawley, along with Ted Cruz, are deservedly pariahs in the Senate. What a pathetic life!
Generally speaking, being a stickler is entirely appropriate when somebody puts a blatantly false statement about The Holocaust, even by accident, in a news article.
No, Mayorkas said that he is the child of a Holocaust survivor, and that his mother lost nearly all of her family in the Holocaust. Perhaps you should read the quote before you comment.
This is the actual quote that Mayorkas made. “Number two: Senator Hawley takes an adversarial approach to me in this question, and perhaps he doesn’t know my own background. Perhaps he does not know that I am the child of a Holocaust survivor. Perhaps he does not know that my mother lost almost all her family at the hands of the Nazis. And so I find his adversarial tone to be entirely misplaced. I find it to be disrespectful of me and my heritage.”
Thank you Mack, the actual quote certainly shows that Fahd is lying. While his “enthusiasm” may be commendable, it shows an individual who, like tRump, will lie to achieve his/her goals.
Fahd stinks of the same aroma as tRump. That’s a “win” for the establishment where “nothing will change”,
Fahd, tell the truth – you are undermining our goal by poisoning the well of truth and justice.
How? The Democratic Senate incumbant, Claire McCaskill, voted with Republicans to not only maintain spying on USA citizens; plus, she also voted with Republicans to stop ALL amendments which would limit FISA spying on Americans in America. This was just one of 28 times, McCaskill paraded around as a Democrat but voted with Republicans.
Who would you choose, the person lying and secretly undermining the Constitution or the person who says it out loud? Unfortunately, the “show-me” state went with the latter.
McCaskill triggered apathy among Democrats by consistently voting with Republicans on BIG, Important votes. Conservative voters went with the authentic Republican.
Kunce would be a dream candidate in many parts of the US (he’s quite progressive, pro-labor, etc.) but Missouri is so conservative its voters will probably return Hawley to the Senate unless advocates can get an abortion referendum up and running for November 2024, in which case Kunce might have a chance.
Kunce will win. Hawley’s Jan. 6 flailing run to safety looks pathetic in comparison to Kunce’s 13 year marine service. The “show-me” state conservatives know a paper tiger in a Brooks Brother’s suit.
His face. This one looks like someone stuck a vacuum cleaner up his ass! JOSH!!!!!!!!!!
Hang it up!
Does anyone have excerpts from his award winning writings? I need a good laugh. The right wing trolls here are even boring me. I can’t even imagine where this group of people CAME from? They are most unusual. Shallow bottom feeders.
Does abfab only vote on appearance? Welcome to Kardashian America where voters can’t even bother to read. Don’t let your spanks block all the blood to your frontal lobe; there are many valid reasons to NOT vote for Hawley.
Don’t attack me abfab, I know you now prefer skims.
Oh no FOL, not another skims voter! Go by their policies’, not bodyfat percentage.
And dbmcvey, please know that your “Miss Cleo” act makes you seem inauthentic. I voted for Bill Clinton who ended up pushing, passing and signing DOMA and DADT! Most of us Democrats have voted for inauthentic anti-gay candidates. The lesser of two evils still ends with evil.
