One of the top abortion activists in the Senate has gone down in defeat.
Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill fell behind to pro-life candidate Josh Hawley after announcing her opposition to U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and ultimately she lost her re-election bid today. A pro-abortion Democrat, McCaskill was considered one of the most vulnerable senators running for re-election in the November midterms.
Josh Hawley, an attorney and former clerk to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, serves as Missouri’s attorney general. Prior to his time as the top prosecutor for the state, he was an appellate litigator and senior counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, where he was a lead attorney in the Supreme Court case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores. He and his wife Erin have two young sons and live in Ashland, Missouri.
McCaskill’s vote against Kavanaugh doomed her chances. In response, Hawley accused McCaskill of not listening to her constituents.
“No surprise here. @clairecmc always comes home to the party line in the end. Now 0-6 on Supreme Court nominees. Hasn’t heard a thing voters told her. Just another Washington liberal,” he wrote on Twitter.
A week ago, an undercover video showed staffers on U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill’s campaign describing how Planned Parenthood sends money to her secretly so she will not look as pro-abortion to Missouri voters. The video, released by Project Veritas this week, shows how McCaskill’s campaign appears to be trying to appeal to moderate voters in the mid-western state by downplaying her radical pro-abortion stance.
“It’s f——- beautiful” how Planned Parenthood indirectly supports McCaskill’s campaign, one staffer tells an undercover investigator.
At another point, two staffers tell the undercover investigator why Planned Parenthood has not been a big supporter of McCaskill’s campaign, even though she has a 100-percent pro-abortion voting record.

“So what were you telling me last night about Planned Parenthood?” the undercover investigator asks.
“How they never — they don’t donate to Claire because they don’t want to ostracize pro-life Democrats in Missouri,” the staffer responds.
“They go through other means to support and give money. They just don’t directly give money from their PACs,” a second campaign staffer says of Planned Parenthood.
The Daily Wire reports McCaskill’s campaign also pointed out that the abortion giant did give her campaign at least $5,000.
The Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund announced its endorsement of Josh Hawley for U.S. Senate in Missouri at a campaign event in Arnold, Missouri.
“Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund is proud to endorse longtime pro-life champion Josh Hawley,” said former congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, SBA List’s Vice President of Government Affairs. “Hawley’s experience as an attorney and advocate for life, including arguing cases before the Supreme Court, will prove invaluable in the Senate. We are encouraged to see him take on Senator Claire McCaskill, who supports abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy and has repeatedly betrayed her constituents on important pro-life votes. We encourage pro-life voters to send him to Washington to fight for their values.”
SBA List polling found that 60 percent of Missouri voters support the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and 56 percent said they would be less likely to support Senator McCaskill if she voted to allow late-term abortion.
It looks like all the senators who voted against Kavanaugh have lost their seats.
At there will be one less ugly beotch to look at.
Huge win!
Missouri says “I do de-Claire!”
Remember the fancy airplane she said she would get rid of and then didn’t?
Kilt a hydra headed snake.
I worked til 7:30 tonite....overall sounds like pubs didn’t do so well but McRascal getting the boot makes up for alot of it..her and the stinking Betard...
Added to the defeat of the pro-abort high-fiver from the Dakota and the WV Constitutional Amendment to declare that there is no “right” to abortion:
WHAT A NIGHT FOR LIFE!
“O Champion dread, who cannot be put to confusion, despise not our petitions, O Good and All-praised Theotokos; establish the way of the Orthodox; save those who have been called upon to govern us, leading us to that victory which is from heaven, for thou art she who gavest birth to God, and alone art blessed.”
Not really.
The one in Montana looks to retain his, as do most of the Senators from Dem-majority states. But it's good to see McCaskill go down to defeat.
Happy to see her lose.
Hawley’s win is one of the best stories of the night! :-)
We tell you that we are going to vote for you Claire but, when election day comes around we change our positions. You taught us well. See ya.
FROM ANOTHER THREAD and FREEPER willk:
First midterm election for new President:
Clinton 1994
House -54
Senate -8
Obama 2010
House -63
Senate -6
Trump 2018
House -30 (roughly)
Senate +4 or +5”
Obama and Clinton didn’t have to deal with 40 anti-Trumpers retiring. Otherwise Trump would have probably maintained the house too.
Trump-Republicans did better than expected.
Spiteful globalist RINOs either A: sabotaged the House by retiring, or B: are getting voted out.
Could be a heck of a lot worse; it was overall a good night even if it wasn’t an epic night like 2016!
Hear hear.
But the good news is that this means that the GOP is that much more the MAGA party.
Yep. weeding out the RINOS.
Been slumming at the DUmp this morning, McCaskill is stinging them there. They are blaming O’Keefe for her loss, and want the house to open an investigation on him. The usual DUmmer vocal crowd there is cheering the victory of the House, but the smarter of them, the ones with two brain cells to rub together, see it for what is is. They know this is by no means a victory to be proud of, certainly not a rebuttal of Trump they were thinking it was. Again they are looking at the polls and hyper inflation of the vote count and questioning how the numbers aren’t matching up.
I’m having a blast over there this morning. Yes we lost, but again it was nothing like they projected and worked themselves up to think it was going to be. Florida alone is kicking their a** beyond belief as well. :)
Thank you for doing the slumming & reporting back here... I’ve been wondering but also not wanting to read a bunch of vile nastiness.
Much appreciation Abathar!
One thing we can take for a blessing is that all those sealed indictments are OUT OF THE DEMONCRAP'S HANDS!!
It also proves to us that we still need God's help.
