So, Hawley pulled in over 3 million dollars in contributions in the first quarter of this year.

Taylor-Greene scored even better with over 3.2 million in contributions. Let's stop right here.

Before we "analyze" or "dissect" or toss up a bowl of word salad, let's just say out loud what is the obvious in-your-face reason for these extraordinary fund raising totals.

Both of these Republicans are bigoted arrogant hate-filled scumbags---and the people who sent them cash LOVE them for it because they are JUST LIKE THEM. These millions of dollars came from people whose primary political activity is hating. They hate you and me and gays and Jews and people of color and women who don't "know their place". They have harbored these hatreds mostly in secret for decades, but now they can be open about their hate---just like Josh and Marjorie.

And, if they can help them get re-elected and elect others like them, one day they'll be able to openly ACT on their hate and rid America of Democrats and socialists and liberals and------folks like us.

Yup....but money alone doesn't elect them. If that were the case Amy McGrath would be a Senator PortTack Apr 2021 #1

Trump and the RNCC? Will they have to give back half their money too?
