Watching @GovMikeKehoe fumble his way through defending everything from SB4 to Cindy Olaughlin to throwing in the occasional use of the word “conservative” when every single citizen in our state has watched their utility bills skyrocket since the bill passed is the ultimate level of tone deaf.
Politics is momentum.
Kehoe is in WAY over his head.

I asked Gov. Kehoe what evidence he has that Andrew Bailey is wrong about Senate Bill 4 raising your electric bill. His answer: “I’m not going to get into a tit for tat with what Andrew Bailey thinks.” He also noted who was AG when it passed. Andrew Bailey.
An embarrassing day for @SECOfficiating. Hard to not imagine a world where someone in that room in Birmingham didn’t have a reason to want Texas to win.
An 18 yard “fumble” that literally changed the entire course of the game.
Absurd.
@meaccoleman Are we still doing this?
I hit a nerve, eh?
There’s nothing you can conjure that will erase or absolve you of your great moment of failure.
Have a nice Saturday—it’s gorgeous out there!

It is 100% accurate.
You withdrew your own motion to adopt the IP bill we got back from the House. No vote. Just you standing on the Senate floor surrendering to the Democrats.
One more vote and it passes and goes to the People…but you withdrew the motion for a vote.
IP survived—A6 never happens if not for your decision in that moment.
You are a part of Missouri political infamy.
2024 A3 passed—that was a direct consequence.
2026 A3 wouldn’t have been necessary.
We can stop having this conversation publicly whenever you like, but this is your political legacy.
@meaccoleman We will never know because you withdrew the bill to prevent a vote.
This decision ultimately ended your political path and will block any future plans you harbor of running again.
We remember.
I’m seeing some hating of @DLHoskins online. In my book he performed his constitutional duties faithfully and even heroically in the face of an obscenely lax IP process and liberal activist appellate courts. Missourians owe him thanks for trying to protect our Constitution from out-of-state leftist opportunists.
@Bigcat5fan@AndreaKatSTL “Partially” I think is generous.
Kehoe is 100% responsible for the train wreck of losses we’ve seen in this state for the past two years. Big changes needed in JC
Is this a joke?
@meaccoleman you are exclusively responsible for the destruction of the Missouri Constitution when you directly torpedoed
our last great chance to have IP reform as the senate sponsor in 2024.
You folded until intense pressure because you couldn’t take the heat.
You are responsible for so much damage—maybe more than Kehoe and here you are whining about somebody defending the 7th amendment?
Git outa here!!!!
@MarkReardonKFTK@DLHoskins IDK about abt accomplishing nothing... he did a fine job blocking a conservative agenda and setting up I win you lose; you lose I win situations within his own caucus.
He should teach a master class about how to do that.
Truly.
What a ridiculous take.
I understand mourning the loss but it has broken your critical thinking skills.
The one responsible for the carnage in MO is our Dear Establishment Leader, @MikeLKehoe
We can still turn this around but not without big changes from Tax Hike Mike.

We really do not have any time to waste to fix some of the BS with Missouri Republicans. So let’s start here…
I’m calling on @GovMikeKehoe to demand @DLHoskins resignation. He’s a major reason why voters do not trust the party.
He’s the worst of the worst….get rid of him and let’s start moving in a better direction. NOW.
@MissouriLibert2@MikeLKehoe Lol no “due respect” needed I agree with you. Kehoe is the top of the problem.
But yes, all levels need to be reformed.
The Party is a disaster.
Politics is momentum.
I’m not sold on @AndrewBaileyMO — but this is a very good sign if he’s ready to admit what we all know about Kehoe’s leadership.
That’s where healing can begin. Identifying the problem.
Bailey’s weight against Kehoe is significant—USS Kehoe is taking water as it should.
#mogov #moleg #mogop
Andrew Bailey says he’s not running. Then he called Kehoe’s leadership “feckless,” his energy bill “disastrous,” and said someone “forgot” the clause that doomed the GOP map. Nobody forgot. They lacked the votes. The AG at the time: Andrew Bailey.
@TheRifleman11 Exactly.
He’s gotten rid of a LOT of folks on our voter rolls that shouldn’t be there under law. The previous occupant did not.
No one regrets how the maps turned out more than he does—but he didn’t cause the loss and I’ll take spine over losing safely any day.
SAPA, income tax cuts, the Heartbeat bill—what are you talking about we didn’t accomplish anything? We kept the Kehoes at bay and killed their worst ideas!
And by the way, perhaps you didn’t notice that the Missouri Freedom Caucus (which Hoskins founded) just won both Majority Floor Leader spots in Jefferson City.
The answer is NOT to start blaming those that have the spine to do what’s right and instead protect the weak in our party.
Apparently even Jefferson City seems to be picking up on this.
If you are upset about the map saga, maybe you should ask the Governor why he didn’t have the spine to tell the President NO when Trump demanded maps in the first place?
#moleg #mogov #mogop
Dude, you didn’t accomplish *anything* for all those years in Jeff City so if anyone is disqualified from weighing in here it’s you. And you lost for a reason. @DLHoskins and you can go hang out and wear stupid red blazers for all I care.
But both of you idiots will probably run for Gov…and not be able to get out of the primary. Godspeed. I’m moving on from batshit crazy republicans who don’t’ ever move the needle. EVER.
@ryanpjohnsonusa@MikeLKehoe Oh, and one more thing: you are correct, no one will ever know if it would have been a good fit for me.
But we DO know it isn’t a good fit for Kehoe.
And you know that as well. 🙂
Your thought process will lead to a repeat of Tuesday—cmon man!
Ryan we have known each other but this hasn’t nothing to do with not moving on.
If you recall, I praised Kehoe’s move to take control of the St Louis Police. But now he apparently has made errors there by his own admission.
The record i ms what the record is—two years of failure. If im wrong there, say so and we will have that discussion
But I didn’t lose my right to criticize failed government just because I lost an election.
As for “sharing in private”—Kehoe ONLY responds to public pressure (remember the public pressure Trump put on him to draw the maps?). Thats who he is.
And he wouldn’t listen to me in private anyway—you and both know that.
So he we are.
