Fantastic ad.
But it will never fly with the white trash/MAGAt/religious nutjobs/methed out trailer park trash that constitute the majority of Missouri voters now.
To these shitheads, it's still all about owning the coastal libtard elitists, and Donald Trump's brand of faux patriotism and faux religious piety. Even tho Josh Hawley isn't one of them, Hawley speaks their racist/homophobic/xenophobic language perfectly.

On the other hand in West Virginia::
"A former West Virginia delegate who served prison time in connection to his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the United States Capitol Building two years ago officially announced his bid for Congress. Former Delegate Derrick Evans said in a press release that he plans to run in the Republican primary against incumbent Rep. Carol Miller."
[quote] Today – January 6th – is a day to celebrate. But for me, that hasn’t always been the case. Just last year, it was a personal day of reflection, thinking about my fellow J6er’s and the miscarriage of Justice at the hands of our government.
[quote] Fear over my pending prison sentence. Scared to miss precious time with my family. But despite that uncertainty, my resolve never waned.
[quote] I knew I was put on this Earth to serve the people of West Virginia. One month ago I came to you with my story. I launched an exploratory committee for Congress.
[quote] I’m thrilled to say, I, Derrick Evans, am running for a seat in the United States House of Representatives.

Jan. 6th?? PTSD moment.

So let me tell you a bit about me — and why Joshua is so afraid of me:
I grew up in a working-class neighborhood in Jeff City, right in the middle of Missouri. Like most Americans today, my family lived paycheck-to-paycheck — so when my little sister was born with a heart condition, the medical bills bankrupted us.
But we weren’t alone...
When my parents had to take my sister to get surgeries at a hospital over 100 miles away, our neighbors and friends took my siblings and me into their homes.
When we couldn’t afford groceries, they brought more casserole and lasagna by the house than we could ever hope to eat.
The support from our community motivated me to work hard, stay focused on school, and run on the cross-country team. That all helped me get into college, which I could afford thanks to a Pell grant and scholarships from people around town.
I got to keep running there too.
After college + law school, I joined the Marines to honor and serve the community that had done so much for me. Active duty for 13 years. Iraq once, Afghanistan twice. Then the Joint Staff at the Pentagon, where I'd go on to help lead arms control negotiations with NATO + Russia.
In the Marines, I learned what service for your country really means: Doing the right thing—even far from home—and never forgetting the community you signed up to serve.
But for every tour of duty, I also learned just how little service meant to corrupt elites like @HawleyMO. I led a police training team in Iraq, running missions outside the wire through Habbaniyah, Fallujah and Ramadi. Near our camp, a burn pit bathed us in toxic fumes for months.
And when we came back home, politicians like @HawleyMO turned their backs on us.
I was exposed to toxic burn pits in Iraq; Republicans turned their backs on veterans like me Toxic burn pits in Iraq harmed veterans like me and Republicans turned their backs on us. This isn't how we should treat those injured defending America.
Between deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I was stationed at Camp Pendleton. While our politicians let Wall Street banks gamble away our economy, I fought to protect service members from predatory scams and illegal foreclosures.
Since 9/11, Wall Street Has Put Money Over Marines and Profits Over Patriotism When you were attacked, Wall Street, we stepped up. You’ve been undermining our national security and betraying us ever since.
I deployed twice to Afghanistan. Learned Pashto. Investigated corruption. I saw how lies from corrupt leaders in Washington cost us two decades, $2 trillion, and nearly 2,500 American lives. And then politicians like @HawleyMO wanted even more war.
Then at the Pentagon, I saw how Big Oil bought off our politicians so dictators, war criminals, and a handful of corporate executives got to decide how much Americans pay for energy—while authoritarian oligarchs in China start to dominate renewable energy.
Getting off fossil fuels will save a fortune in averted military misadventures.
But between tours, one of the hardest things was coming back home and seeing what was going on in my old neighborhood. The community I had signed up to serve was stripped for parts. The corner store boarded up. Our first family home even bulldozed down.
The whole time politicians like Hawley kept voting to send Marines like me overseas to fight pointless wars, they were letting their corporate megadonors gut our towns and cities back home.
And now they don’t just attack our way of life, but also the democracy I swore to defend.
On January 6, 2021, Josh Hawley showed us he’s a fraud and a coward who will cut and run at the first sign of trouble.
Missourians deserve a U.S. Senator who’s willing to stand and fight for them. They deserve a warrior for working people.
And I'm ready to serve.

[quote] "The guy is obsessed with control," Kunce says. "He wants to control us in the bedroom. He wants to control us in the doctor's office. He wants to control the way we work. I mean, he's got a book coming out on masculinity where he wants to tell everyone exactly what it means to be a man, which I guess means being made in his image. It's weird, it's creepy, and it's gross, and I don't understand it."
[quote] Hawley's book, Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs, is set to be published in May.
[quote] "He hasn't had to be held accountable for being a coward and fraud. And I mean, this is the Show-Me State. He has shown us what he is," Kunce says. "And the thing is, he hasn't had to be held accountable in front of Missourians for that weird creepiness yet."
[quote] He adds, "And by the time I'm done with him, I'm telling you every single person in the state and the country is gonna know what a fraud, a coward, and a faker he is."

Please don’t fall into the trap of thinking that Missouri is any more winnable now than South Carolina or Kentucky. You could have a perfect candidate running a perfect campaign but s(he) cannot win as a Democrat.

I like Kunce. I contributed to his last campaign. He’s smart, hard-working, hot as hell, and very determined. I think he’d make a great addition to the United States Senate. And he’d be far superior to that odious coward and traitor Josh Hawley. But does a Democrat have a chance to win statewide office in red, red Missouri?
Yeah, Jon Tester has been able to do it in Montana and Sherrod Brown has been able to do it in Ohio. And if the two of them and Mark Kelly in Arizona emphasize the overturning of Roe and the Repukes’ anti-abortion stance they can probably eke out wins once again in 2024. But, as good as I think Lucas is, I’m not sure that he has what it takes to overcome a sitting Rethug.
I follow him on social media. He unfortunately did not have much of a SM presence or traction before and doesn’t seem to have much now. Would love to see him here in DC. I just think that the prospect of that happening unfortunately isn’t great.

Terrifying to think MO has lurched that much further to the right since Democrat Claire McCaskill held the seat.
