Sounds about like the local libs outcry against my congressman. Apparently they committed terrorism, treason, and sedition by voting in a way they didn't want them to. I even saw someone claim that regardless of politics they should not be allowed to vote if that vote doesn't represent the wishes of 100% of their district. Yeah, let me know when those pigs fly.
The old school of the MO GOP are going after Hawley. They'll support Claire McCasill or a Carnahan to run against him next election. Even the money powers in the Missouri GOP are going after him. This does not bode well.
Not really. At least not at the top levels. The rank and file are another matter. They are going to have a lot of problems finding people to knock on doors in two years because folks like me won't be doing it or will be doing it for those like Hawley that will be in the primaries.
So it's seditious, traitorous and an attempt at disenfranchisement to be concerned that two states (which even if they were both rejected wouldn't have been enough to give Trump a second term) didn't follow their own electoral laws like they're supposed to? I'm going to guess that wasn't the case back in 2005 when then-California Senator Barbara Boxer and then-Ohio Representative Stephanie Tubbs formally objected to Ohio's electors voting to re-elect George W. Bush on the grounds of voter irregularities.
I have no love for Bush, but don't be a dishonest partisan hack by pretending that objections to electors aren't a lawful part of the process.
Ultimately, no one's going to change their mind either way. Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Dick Durbin who are bitching now had no problem with their team's objection back in 2005. Republicans are more mixed though in that most who bitched back then are also still bitching now because they're losers stuck to principles and institutions fighting an enemy that doesn't care about principles or institutions, only power. The sooner more Republicans figure that out, or the sooner the old guard like McConnell and Romney are ousted, the better.
The law is just a guideline now. There is officially no need to even pretend to satisfy the plebs.
Is Leonard French related to neocon warmongerer David French of National Review?
Sounds like they have the same talking points.
lol nah. Leonard is a leftist.

Is there any MO GOP defending him at all?
