Josh Hawley dubbed 'worst sitting senator' by local paper while endorsing his opponent

"Hawley... was the first and initially only senator to announce his baseless challenge of the election results, setting in motion the grotesque events that followed," the editors write. "As Trump’s rabble gathered for their attack, Hawley infamously raised his first in solidarity with the mob — a mob from which he eventually had to sprint for his life, along with so many of his congressional colleagues."


"Kunce checks the boxes that Democrats generally care about, but with a centrist element that should allow more conservative Missourians to at least consider his candidacy," they wrote. "He supports reasonable abortion rights as they existed under Roe v. Wade. He supports reasonable gun policies like red-flag laws and universal background checks, as do most Americans. He favors universal health care, as even Hawley has at times improbably claimed to (though all that Hawley has actually done on the issue is to demagogue it)."

I wanted to link to the St. Louis Dispatch editorial itself, but a subscription is required.

Love that this jerk is getting heat from his own local paper.

more than a paper applying heat, although it is a brave start. I don't have much faith in places that have put idiots like this in positions of power - they tend to like to keep those 'connections.' (See: Mitch McConnell; Empty Greene; Ted Cruz; etc, etc!)

that in his own brain, he deserves to be president, and not djt. Yes, hawley is that f**king conceited.

Time for Missourians to take out the trash, and dump it far, far away, so the stink of it won't still smell.

Me, my sister, and her family in STLMO, Neosho, Joplin all plan to vote for Mr. Kunce, hawley's formable opponent.

We’d ALL be screwed.

My prediction: if, Heaven FORBID, trump manages to take the White House, I’d bet he’d put Hawley on the Supreme Court, first chance he’d get.

ALL THE MORE REASON TO VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS!!!!!
