Josh Hawley caused so much secondhand embarrassment with his “tough guy” tantrum at the state fair
Josh Hawley‘s toxic tough guy routine continues to backfire. The quick-footed senator ambushed his opponent, Democrat Lucas Kunce, Thursday morning at the Missouri State Fair.
The confrontation occurred near the Governor’s Ham Breakfast. And, no, it doesn’t look like Hawley even said “good morning” first.For 20 minutes, Hawley attempted to bait Kunce and invite him to a non-televised, unsanctioned debate. “It’s great to see out of your basement, Lucas,” Hawley said at one point, per the Missouri Independent. “By the way, are you gonna do any campaign events around the state or just media?” Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!Kunce, in response, asked Hawley why he’s so “weird” and “creepy.” (We’re wondering the same thing…)Hawley and Kunce face off at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia. #mogov #mosen pic.twitter.com/izAgXT3bpgDressed in a pastel-colored flannel, Hawley is probably going for a “He-Man look.” Instead, the Manhood author resembles a little boy curated to his mother’s liking throwing a temper tantrum in public.Gays… don’t even think about thirsting!scrolling the QTs on this video https://t.co/iSIng8hSyd pic.twitter.com/vOfBrFdxWaHawley is in the midst of a competitive campaign against Kunce, who’s raising more money than the Republican incumbent.
Kunce and his killer thighs first appeared on our radar in 2022, when he ran for the Democratic Senate nomination.Though Kunce lost that race, he won this year’s Democratic primary with 67.7% of the vote.
The 13-year Marine vet is the only Missouri Democrat with ads running statewide. After Kunce clinched the nomination, Hawley called for them to engage in a “Lincoln-Douglas” style of debate at the stare fairgrounds.
