Josh Hawley is a patrician posing as a populist

[dlk]

He lives in Virginia, but uses his sister’s address in Missouri for his voter registration, which speaks to his integrity. Hawley attended to Rockhurst High School, a private all boys Catholic high school in south Kansas City for the elite. (I lived nearby for many years across the state line in Kansas, in a very affluent neighborhood & am quite familiar with his type. My sons had friends who attended testosterone-overloaded Rockhurst.) His credential from Stanford and Yale law school speak for themselves. Hawley just another entitled rich kid posing as a Trumper populist-a polished grifter doing whatever it takes to advance his career, and increase his net worth.This latest silliness about challenging the electoral college vote is just a stunt he thinks will advance his political ambitions. Scratch Hawley’s surface, and despite his elite degrees, there’s nothing of substance there.

1. He is kicking off his 2024 campaign, with Trump's fake platform.

Another one who is evil and fake.

4. Thankfully, only Trump can do Trump

Remember failed Missouri governor Eric Greitens? He tried, unsuccessfully, to do Trump. I see Hawley following in Greitens path.

7. Right as smart as he is, his stunt does not seem to be a good decision

as a way to start his campaign. He looks silly and stupid.

8. It makes Hawley look like a shallow opportunist not committed to democracy

A Republican...

9. Well said, exactly nt

2. And THIS is who they chose to replace Democrat Sen Claire McCaskill

Who set out to primary Sen McCaskill?

What a fked up choice that was.

Man, some people are really stupid.

5. We can't ever underestimate the role sexism and racism play in American politics

It’s sad to think how far we need to go.

10. Claire is someone Missourians should be proud to send back to Washington.

She was a tremendous Jackson County Prosecutor in Kansas City, Missouri, a wonderful Missouri State Auditor, and very active Senator in Washington. It was a tragedy that Hawley was able to worm his way into the Senate where he has done absolutely no good whatsoever. Shameful.

At least we still get to see and hear Claire now as a regular on MSNBC. She should be right back in Washington, however. She's outstanding.

3. Like Julius Caesar...

6. Hawley only cares about Hawley

[UTUSN]

11. Looks like a p.o.s. - or what's the meme, punchable face.

[dlk]

12. He's like so many other entitled rich kids full of hubris

He looks exactly like who he is.

13. Thanks for the background on repellent, deceitful Josh Hawley. Had no idea he lived in Kansas City.

14. Hawley grew up in Lexington, MO,

It’s a small town about 50 miles east of Kansas City.
