Eric Schmitt Wins Missouri GOP Senate Race

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022

Good news, everyone! Missouri’s Attorney General Eric Schmitt has won the Republican Senate primary.

Eric Schmitt has won the Republican nomination for Senate in Missouri, NBC News projects, ending a comeback bid by the state’s disgraced former governor, Eric Greitens.

Schmitt, the state’s attorney general, was leading Rep. Vicky Hartzler, with Greitens further behind in third place, according to early results. He will face the winner of Tuesday’s Democratic primary, Trudy Busch Valentine, a nurse and heir to the Anheuser-Busch beer fortune. NBC News projects that Valentine has beat out 10 other Democrats, including Lucas Kunce, a Marine veteran with national support among progressives, who earned a late endorsement from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

The Democratic primary was sleepy compared to the GOP contest, which commanded extraordinary attention for a primary in a reliably red state.

You may remember Schmitt smacking down Soros-backed Democratic St. Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner for trying to charge Mark and Patricia McCloskey with felonies for daring to exercise their Second Amendment rights to defend themselves. (Ironically, Mark McCloskey was one of the people he defeated in the primary, as the Democrat-mugged-by-reality-turned-Republican came in a distant fifth.)

Schmitt received a whole lot of conservative endorsements, including Gun Owners of America, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and the Senate Conservative Fund.

Like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, he also spends a good bit of time suing the Biden Administration for unconstitutional policies. “I wake up, I go to the office, I sue Joe Biden, I go home.”

Schmitt should make a good, conservative senator.

Soros-Backed Prosecutor: How Dare You Use Guns To Defend Your Lives, McCloskys! Have Some Felony Charges! Missouri AG: Slow Your Roll

Tuesday, July 21st, 2020

Incompetent, George Soros backed St. Louis Democratic prosecutor Kim Gardner announced that she’s filing felony charges against Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who defended their home against #BlackLivesMatter intruders by merely brandishing their weapons on their own property. In fact, Gardner charged the couple with both a felony and misdemeanor count, evidently intending to pressure the couple into pleading guilty to the misdemeanor charges to avoid jail time.

Enter Missouri Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt: Homey don’t play that:

Within hours of the ruling, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a brief seeking to dismiss Gardner’s charges against the McCloskeys on the grounds that their Second Amendment rights are being violated.

“The right to keep and bear arms is given the highest level of protection in our constitution and our laws, including the Castle Doctrine, which provides broad rights to Missourians who are protecting their property and lives from those who wish to do them harm,” Schmitt said in a prepared statement provided to Fox News.

“Despite this, Circuit Attorney Gardner filed suit against the McCloskeys, who, according to published reports, were defending their property and safety. As Missouri’s Chief law enforcement officer, I won’t stand by while Missouri law is being ignored,” Schmitt said.

The brief filing says the attorney general “respectfully requests that the Court dismiss this case at the earlier possible opportunity.”

Note that this is not the first time Schmitt has rebuked Gardner for being unwilling to do her damn job.

Do you think the McCloskeys agreeing to appear at one of President Trump’s virtual campaign rallies had anything to do with them being charged?

What Soros’ DA Spending Spree Bought: Freedom From Prosecution

Thursday, June 4th, 2020

It should be obvious to any observer that the Antifa riots across the country were obviously coordinated with #BlackLivesMatter marches. Both groups are funded by George Soros. Just as he spent millions to spur the Ferguson riots on, people in both Antifa and #BlackLivesMatters are obviously coordinating their nationwide attacks.

Ace of Spades points out another prong of the George Soros-funded attack: Electing radical DAs willing to ignore the law and release rioters back on the streets without charging them:

George Soros realized that it was very expensive and very hard to attempt to support so many leftwing legislators that they could change the law to make crime, well, not a crime.

So he settled on a new strategy. One that worked. He put a huge amount of money into the campaigns of leftwing, pro-crime prosecutors and attorney generals.

He wouldn’t bother to get laws changed — too difficult! No legislator wants to face a campaign ad against him pointing out, accurately, that he voted to decriminalize crime.

No, he’d just bankroll dozens (hundreds?) of leftwing DAs and AGs to ignore the laws entirely, claiming that prosecutorial discretion gives the absolute power to simply declare that The Law Is No Longer The Law.

Like I said: It worked.

St. Louis’ Kim Gardner is one of George Soros’ success stories.

She accepted several hundred thousand dollars in in-kind donations in the form of positive campaign ads in her favor — to allow her to beat other moderate Democrats who were not pro-criminal in the primary — which were paid for by Stalinesquely named “Safety & Justice Committee,” which is devoted to releasing hardened dangerous criminals from jail to kill citizens.

This committee is funded by George Soros.

Who also funded the Ferguson rioters.

Now Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt says that Gardner is refusing to charge rioters:

Schmitt, a Republican, also says rioters in his state could catch federal charges:
