John Danforth On Why He Regrets Endorsing Republican Senator Josh Hawley | The Last Word | MSNBC
Thank you for don’t endorse those senators who betrayed our country
@Rachelle S. Nope. You are 100% wrong, not every case was simply dismissed because they lacked “standing” or that the Judges refused to hear evidence. E.g. The Nevada State Supreme Court tossed out one of Trump’s lawsuits. Excerpt from my source: “The complaint seems to focus on GOTV efforts by democrats being unfair somehow but doesn’t specify why. They make some noise about voting machines not functioning properly but concede *they don’t have evidence* this would affect the outcome (“evidence will show…” but they don’t have anything in the complaint)”

Here is a reddit post that summarizes just a few of the cases dismissed. It’s outdated and it’s 6am here so I’m not going through all of them, but yes there are now multiple instances where the judges asked the plaintiffs if they had X evidence to support their accusation and every time the lawyers reluctantly admitted that they didn’t. It’s right there for you to read on the internet, I don’t know why you continue to pretend the courts are all in on it or out to get Trump. Many of the judges were Trump picks and yet they still had nothing to work with.
@Rachelle S. Judges saw the lack of evidence like in any other court case across the nation.
@Drake Fire
They can challenge it because it’s within their right.
Maybe travel back in time and stop white supremacists from colonizing America.
Because that’s the only way you’ll stop the constitution from being written
You should also not vote for people who actively hate this country and want to destroy it… Aka– Democrats. Biden and Harris 🤦♀️😂🙄
@David Renwick you clearly haven’t go read the Constitution. You clearly do not understand the first amendment
The Hawley fella came from nowhere, and is going back there fast.
As a Missourian you’re correct. He has lost a lot of support in the state
Nope we Missourians are more than Happy with Hawley and He’s likely going to get a Nomination to run for President in 2024 !
@Wahoo Waturi Hi from Michigan! You are so lucky to be represented by a man with courage and integrity.
@Go4itNope. Missouri loves him.
WE THE SHEEPLE 🐑
Rothschild owns the media.
Khazarian mafia runs America!
Rothschild is literally Satan,
True disciples of that old serpent,
THE DEVIL 👿
Martin hidegger aced it when he said Only A GOD CAN SAVE US NOW.
Hey Jacqui stop being a troll
@Pierre Valette this life is of little consequence compared to Eternity. You better get your God thing right on this side. In the end, what the world says on this side of the plane is of little importance. God is in control, the ultimate judge and jury and he does not want us to fear Him. And when you have the Lord Within, you do not fear the world. Thank goodness there is something greater than ourselves and greater than the rotten world we are living in. Don’t crap on us for believing. It is why we have been truly free for a long time. We have been living under the illusion of freedom for a while now unfortunately. And that definitely came to an end January 6th. Regardless of their restrictions, they cannot truly take the freedom out of our hearts. That is why we have truly enduring citizens, and that is exactly why we have the most Unstoppable soldiers on the planet. True Patriots fight for God and Country. And we will rise up and take our country back
Ffis that

oh good
Except as per normal. God caused it all. Or do you not understand evangelical cults?
😝😂😁
I’d regret supporting anyone who turned out to be a traitor.
Hope your not a Democrat then.
I’d hope you’d get a hint from his speech leading up to the insurrection.
@Kiera Shepard It’s going to take a long time to bring all of these Republinazis to answer for their acts. They should not be given a break.
Ummm can those who actually incited violence all year be punished or those who said nothing but watch it happen or how bout those who claimed mostly peaceful protest? Keyword PEACEFUL cuz thats code for violence according to democrats.
@George B. Wolffsohn Couldn’t have said it better myself, George.
Hawley always looks at the C-SPAN camera while speaking on the floor and never his colleagues. Always performing. What a little twerp.
Hopefully they peacefully protest until hawley can’t breathe, just like George Floyd. If you catch my drift🙃
I am SO TIRED of our leaders having to be begged to do the right thing!!!!
Tell me more arbiter of morality. Tell me more.
Reporting regrets.
This is what Trumpless media looks like
@HalfShell Explain to me how interviewing a former senator about his endorsement that he now regrets is, as you say ‘dishonest and lacking journalist integrity’?
@Barry Walls He can’t, if Barry Walls tries it would be nothing more than listening to babble.
@Barry Walls You are addressing a mindless/soulless bot.
Ok boomer
It’s refreshing not to hear the accurate reporting of Trump’s stupidity, evil and corruption.
I’m from Missouri, show me! 0h, John. How’s, Airplane ? Got fuel?
He was fundraising on these events in real time. There’s no question of his incitement. He enjoyed the event.
Maybe you didn’t know he was a wolf in sheep clothing. Satan was a great deceiver as well.
I felt shock and anger.
👏👏 Danforth. Hawley “created” an event he could EXPLOIT.
…and Danforth created Hawley.
Translated: “He knew exactly what he was doing and he did it on purpose.”
Yeah, that is what Mr Danforth said. Sucks when your protege turns into a living breathing piece of fecal matter…
I hope the Republican Party cleans up their act. Democrats need honest principled opposition so both parties can be kept in check and be forced to work together. The Republican Party is trashed right now.I respect that Senator Danforth came out to speak and hope our current Republican Party listens to him.
Hawley, “It depends on what happens on Wednesday.” This sounds like he knew there was going to be an attempted insurrection, which makes him a traitor.
When the news first starts talking about feelings instead of factual information they are trying to sell a narritive.
“You were right, WE did it!” Jade Sacker tells John Earle Sullivan inside The Capitol on Jan.6th
“Josh seemed to be so smart, caring and wholesome!” 🙄
Never forget _The Big Lie™_ or the grifters who tried to peddle it.
AAAND we just keep hearing these
“I voted for Trump twice but….”
The “deadly insurrection” wow talk about hyperbole. Tawana Brawley yo!
