As only a part-time reader of your paper, I was pleasantly surprised to read your editorial on Jan. 13. Your take on Donald Trump and especially Josh Hawley was dead on. To call out Republicans, even when they are plainly lying or supporting a liar, is so rare in these times in this part of the country. Most in your position just turn a blind eye to lies and arrogance of this bad joke of a president. And, of course, OUR Senator Hawley has scratched his way to top Trump lap dog. The boy sure does like to see his face on TV. Be sure to check out Messenger column in the Post-Dispatch about the young Senator. It is hilarious!
We know what Trump and Hawley are, but we got another problem. Sam Graves, our farm kid from Tarkio. As you know, he signed on for the same line of bull as Hawley did. Please take time to call him out also. He does not deserve a free pass.
It is beyond me why a man who has been our Congressman for this many years feels the need to suck up to a lying, spoiled New York billionaire. Can he not stand on his own record? Can he not stand on his own integrity? Every elected Republican official in Missouri sucks up to Trump; don’t lie to me about your constituents’ concerns!
OK, I’ve taken enough of your time. Here is a short one for your editorial page. “Old school advice for Josh Hawley and Sam Graves. When you lay down with dogs, you gonna wake up with fleas.”
