Hee Haw Hawley, "You can't support East Palestine and Ukraine."

Josh Hawley Enrages Liberals With Stark Choice, Demands GOP Loyalty

Missouri congressman Josh Hawley is presenting his GOP congressional colleagues with what he positions as a stark choice. The Hawley binary, he tells Tucker Carlson, is between supporting Ukraine and supporting people in Ohio affected by the tragic toxic train derailment there.

My message to congressional Republicans: you can either be the party of Ukraine & the globalists or you can be the party of East Palestine & the working people of America


Even many of his fellow Republicans are reluctant to embrace this reductive either-or choice as Hawley presents it — why else would Hawley have to go on Carlson‘s show to demand GOP members declare a side?

But if Hawley has Republican representatives balking at his notion, many on the political left are enraged by the way Hawley presents what they believe is a disingenuous choice fueled by political optics, not real world considerations.

I think enraged is overstating things. It's obvious however that Hawley doesn't know how to multitask. Is this the best you can do Missouri?

Who are you taking about, Senator? Who are these globalists? Can you name them? Or do you and your supporter "just know" who you mean?

...like (((Soros))), the (((Rothschilds))), and the (((global bankers))).

The Senator is losing his touch with the Pepe chuds. He's forgetting all their favorite lingo.

"You can't be both a trumpnik and an American" isn't the same as your "you can't walk and chew gum at the same time"-style horseshit, Haulin'-Ass Hawley.

Oppose anything and everything done by Dems, no matter how correct it is, even if it means being on the wrong side of history.

The only rage I have been seeing over either of these issues is coming from Republicans, who thrive on rage and anger. They sure do love false choices, too.
