"Air Claire" McCaskill is running a vile campaign ad - or her surrogates are doing it for her, anyway - accusing Josh Hawley of blaming women for being raped.
The despicable accusation stems from comments Hawley made back at the beginning of the year where he chastised the Sexual Revolution, blaming it for the rise in human sex trafficking.
The Free Neacpm dishes: "Missouri Attorney General and Republican Senate candidate Josh Hawley has found himself under attack for expressing the belief that the loosening of sexual mores has contributed to sex trafficking.
Various news outlets have compared Hawley’s comments, which were made at Christian event in December, to former Missouri Rep. Todd Akin’s (R.) comment that rape victims were unlikely to get pregnant. Hawley’s comments, however, focused on how American culture should treat women with respect rather than as commodities, saying the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s was a "step back."
"We have a human trafficking crisis in our state and in this city and in our country because people are willing to purchase women, young women, and treat them like commodities," Hawley said at a Missouri Renewal Project event. "There is a market for it. Why is there? Because our culture has completely lost its way. The sexual revolution has led to exploitation of women on a scale that we would never have imagined."
End excerpt.
Democrats and Claire McCaskill, who won her last re-election campaign by demonizing thoughtless comments about rape by her then opponent Todd Akin, immediately tried to swoop in:
"Hawley’s work as state attorney general has focused a great deal on human trafficking.
McCaskill tweeted her own criticism of Hawley on Wednesday, accusing him of saying sex trafficking didn’t exist before the 1960s.
I didn’t go to one of those fancy private schools, but the history I learned in public schools & Mizzou taught me that the evidence of trafficking of women for sex goes back to before 2000 BC. It didn’t begin with women’s rights and the birth control pill. @HawleyMo
End excerpt.
To which Hawley replied:
Get real. I'm for contraception & women working. I’m against exploitation of women promoted for decades by Hollywood & culture. Have to change that to stop trafficking. Fly commercial home from your next Hollywood fundraiser & ask people what Hollywood is doing to our culture. https://t.co/NJ3MdvFGcI

Allison Teixeira Sulier, a spokeswoman for the liberal advocacy group American Bridge, even said Hawley was suggesting women were "responsible" for being raped.
It is "disgusting and wrong to ever suggest a woman is responsible for her own imprisonment and repeated rape," Sulier said.
End excerpt.
Now, I don't know about you, but I am capable of understanding what Mr. Hawley said, and I would expect the same of a public servant such as a U.S. Senator. She is either stupid or a liar, and clearly her supporters fall into one of the two categories.
At any rate, that was back in January. Now the pro-McCaskill camp is running ads saying Hawley "blames women for being raped" which is not only a lie but a monstrous blood-libel. (Interestingly enough, a Google search has failed to turn up anything about it, although I've seen the ads on television repeatedly here in St. Louis.)
Are the Democrats getting desperate?
McCaskill has also been lying through her teeth, claiming Hawley wants to take away health insurance from people with pre-existing conditions. Why? Because he joined a lawsuit to appeal Obamacare. She and her posse studiously avoid mentioning Obamacare; they just say he wants to take away people's insurance. They quote elderly people who claim to be paying over two thousand dollars a month on diabetes medication (that's horsepoo; I went without coverage for a time and bought insulin at Walmart for twenty six bucks - something these Democrats are apparently too stupid or too partisan to do; remember, Walmart is non-union.) This is scaremongering of the worst sort.
McCaskill tries to claim the mantle of centrist, but the reality is she votes with her party on almost every occasion. She talks a good game come election time, but after she is out of danger she makes a sharp left turn.
By the way, I would like to remind everyone that James O'Keefe of Project Veritas did a sting on the good senator that revealed how badly she lies to her voters. She and her staff were caught on tape admitting she supports strict gun control but was lying to her voters to trick them:
"But if we have the kind of year I think we might have I think we could actually be in a position to get votes on this stuff on the floor and we’d get 60. McConnell knows it. He just doesn’t want to put it on the floor because then it goes to the House and then sits awkward because all those House members are total NRA folks so…†McCaskill stated.
"So you would be on board with the bump stocks and… high capacity mags,†the undercover journalist followed up.
McCaskill confirmed that stating, "Of course! Of course! I’ve voted for most of those things before.â€
Rob Mills, a McCaskill campaign employee, said, "But she doesn’t openly go out and support groups like ‘Mom’s Demand Action’ or just like other groups that are related to that. Because that could hurt her ability to get elected.â€
End excerpt.
Here's more:
"Mr. Mills also says on tape that gun-control groups know they have a friend in Ms. McCaskill and are supporting her — but both sides are conspiring to keep the relationship hush-hush.
"She’s worked out stuff with Mom’s Demand Action to make sure that she can support their goals without supporting the organization openly. And you know, Moms Demand Action does the exact same thing. Like a lot of our volunteers are actually from there. She’s really good about strategy,†Mr. Mills says on the tape.
Nicolas Starost, another man who works on Senator McCaskill’s campaign, told a Project Veritas journalist that Mr. Obama isn’t campaigning for Ms. McCaskill, despite their essential agreement on issues, in order to keep Missouri voters in the dark."
End excerpt.
Missouri is a major Second Amendment state, what with all the good hunting in the Ozarks and whatnot.
And they also exposed her campaign for taking Planned Parenthood money on the sly to avoid alienating Pro-Life voters in Missouri.
See the Project Veritas website for more.
Oh, and "Air Claire's" response? she wants a government investigation of Project Veritas.
Is that the kind of Senator Missouri needs?
