So he cares so little about women that he didn’t even educate himself but listened to a fascist. Vote him out.

Some pro choice senator. Another one that deserves to be voted out of office

Why would ANYONE take Hawleys advice on ANYTHING??

This is the guy that tried to sign a law in where if a mother receives an abortion at any rate they would get the death penalty. Just the attempt made 20% of the women population to leave the state. After legal abortions were outlawed, the rate of abortions went up 152%.

The rape rate also went up 489% and husbands committing Infanticide went up by 75%. Most of these husbands becoming police the same year they killed their children. The ripple effects are insane when you look into it.

They have to stop this tomfoolery, ugh

Fucking idiot. With no brain.

How about BEING CAREFUL rather than admitting 'a mistake' AFTER THE FACT??

Sure. I always go to JOSH HAWLEY for advice.

They want to get along with the Republicans they work with more then they want to actually protect their own constituents. It’s disgusting.

Maybe voters made a mistake sending him to the Senate?

I hate to spam the same reply, but there's not much of an alternative you'd like in Maine.

F

Too little, too late.

Too stupid to represent. That kind of *mistake* is a disqualifying event that voters should remember at the polls.

uh... I didn't think first. You know, that thing you pay me to do? Be that sober, considerate officer of second thought? But I did get a nice little 'holiday' gift... from someone....

The nature of the mistake is the real problem: “I Took Josh Hawley’s word for It.” — Angus King It's not ageism to want senators and representatives willing and capable to do the work required to competently fulfill' their duties.

the outrage is deserved...

Funnily enough, I somehow doubt any Anti-Abortion rep would *EVER* vote to confirm a Pro-Choice judge... ???

Hmmm. Are Mainer politicians excellent at espousing one thing and then voting for another. Maybe a "susan collins syndrome"?

If it was a "deal", vote trading or something, I don't know why anyone would consider any deal from republicans as done in good faith. I don't know much about him, so I can't eliminate self serving or self enrichment for/by way of the vote. And him saying Hawley was influential in choice? Not good.

Idiotic.

He's got to go along with the rest of our senior, senior, senior citizens. Time for a younger generation in leadership instead of these really old people voting stupidly. Signed: A grandma tired of our really old leadership doing the same OLD failed crap.

No one should take advice from Josh Hawley

Was it? Or maybe he knew what he was doing.

I always go to Josh Hawley for advice on just about anything.

Why would anyone take advice from. Hawley? 🙄

STFU!! Coward😡😠

Malarkey. He's gone full Manchin.

That "independent" senator is a part of the Democratic Party. I think he got influenced by Schumer's obsession with bipartisanship and thought it would show his "neutrality" while being focused on votes, not the people.

Or has he been a Dino all along…

No sympathy and no quarter. He knew what he was voting for. Our senate is full of the biggest PAC of gutless wonders known to man.

Time to put an age limit on elected officials. Senile members need to retire.

Not sure he's senile but he's older than most. Maine's a really stable state from elected officials, its telling they've not only had the two same senators since 2013, but King also used to be governor

And we wonder why we can not get decent laws passed.

All these “mistakes”. Disingenuous. These people are not dumb. They know exactly what they’re doing. All of them.

He went to Hawley for ADVICE??!! You can’t be really pro-choice then.

Of all the colleagues to take advice from, he’s good with Hawley?!? SMDH.

Well I have some instructions for him:

How unusual. He doesn't usually admit to making a mistake. He generally stands on his soapbox and explains that he knows about leadership and he's only doing what's 'best for the country'. Like his 'bipartisan' votes for the BBB and these last two abominations that they forwarded.

He’s trying to clean the name up a bit so his son doesn’t get mired with it during his gubernatorial campaign.

He is only doing it to keep his job.

What is wrong with these people? GOP AND Dems!

Agreed although Angus is an independent. Dems actually do run against him, they just always lose. Maine is weird.

Right. All of ‘em.

He lost me at "Hawley's advice."

Maine? Between him and Collins you need to rethink your representation come reelection time.

Chellie Pingree is the only one who seems to be fighting for us. The rest of them need to go. I am particularly disappointed in Angus King and his yes votes over the last few months.

Angus, you big phony ,you need to take the advice of Maine Voters who are SICK of you and Collins ,2wafflers, & step the fuck down or get your asses voted out bc you are both ineffectual in your posts.All these old dinosaurs need gone bc they've lose their fight ,they get greedy, complacent &lazy

It’s not because they’re old. Look at the young republicans. Get your shit together.

my shit? it's together brother an yeah the young GQP are a menace but they planned to be a menace & bring all that kind of energy to Congress .A Congress whose mean age is 72 & too many of the old ones do not know how to deal ,thinking business as usual when it's not .It's the death of democracy

So it’s nit an age thing. I’ll take Bernie over any of them

Another example of a politician not reading or thinking things through.

Time for Angus to call it quits 💪🔥🤬

Ya THINK?! Idiot.

duh

we need to do better at holding our elected officials accountable

He is no longer prochoice

The fact that he is friends with Josh Hawley tells you all you need to know.

These f@cking DEMs and their "Whoops, I really believed that racist career liar, sorry". Heres hoping that more 'centrists' / libertarians will finally go: "F that. Let's vote for someone who actually works to improve what clearly isn't working and isn't a corporate mouthpiece". 🫣

"Took Josh Hawley's advice"

GOP head scratchers

Republicans. I'll pretend to have morality after the check clears.

We need to retire these old f*rts. I’m an old fa*t and I know of whom I speak.

Agree! Same here. People need to move on after a certain age in certain jobs and this is one of them.

Never listen to Josh Hawley. He should have asked any pro-choice Missourian-Josh Hawley is a two-faced slime bag that will lie to your face.

Too little too late

Omg get these old men out. Women will die because of your fake sky daddy and desire to control women.

Who's voting for this clown?

Had more faith in this guy. WTF? WTH could Hawley say to convince him? HAWLEY?!?! Disappointed. Pissed. These guys just keep voting these losers and loyalists in. No thought for the people.

What idiot would take advice from Josh Hawley? That’s not a mistake. That is a complete lapse of judgment.

Why is everyone so stupid?

FFS

Why? Why? Why?

A little late for that. What a dumbass. What did he think would happen???

So, his “reliance on colleagues” means he can’t do his own research? WTF Maine?

He knew. Don’t listen to what people tell you, pay attention to what they do.

Our entire government has proven itself to be compromised and corrupt. It’s time to tear it down and create a different and better system.

"after he took MAGA Senator Josh Hawley's "advice."" Eh, does he not know that Hawley's wife has been a head lawyer chipping away at women's health rights??

Democrats continuing to believe Republicans can be a political partner is infuriating. This is a critical example of why the old guard within the party needs to be replaced by fighters and change agents. Can’t believe the Senator even admitted to this-idiocy.

'They' don't believe 'them'. It's theater. 'Centrist leaning' GOP Murkowski is the queen of that messaging. Incredible how she happens to only be in opposition to [unpopular item] when [item] just happens to have enough votes to pass anyway. At least 92% (my non-factual guestimate) of the time.

King is an independent; he does caucus with the Ds. This is just not giving a phuq. He took MAGA Josh Hawley's advice? It'd be funny if it wasn't so dangerous & stupid

Apologies yes King is an Independent. But beyond that my point still stands- old guard not serving the people.

On that we agree 😮‍💨

Right? King needs to ask Hawley to vote NO on Bove in exchange.

Duh

A little late to wake up.

I thought that was Leslie Phillips for a second

They do this mess on purpose it's no coincidence they have a conscious after the bad deed they did is done. No one should be surprised anymore for what these traitors do. They have to power right now to remove this regime with the help of Democrats but they're choosing not to.

Get the damn dinosaurs out of office

Idiot

Us Democrats need to rid ourselves of these arrogant Representatives.

And he tried to blame Hawley. While Hawley is execrable all on his own, that was weak-kneed BS.

Et tu, Angus? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Duh

Yeah I’m going to need everyone in Congress to actually pay attention, thanks 🤦‍♂️

Jackass should have thought about that BEFORE. What a failure!

He took Josh Hawley's advice? How stupid can he be?

He’s a both sides wussy

Yeah, it didn’t sound like the real him from the old days. Time to retire, guy.

it was not a mistake. you voted.

Why take Josh Hawley's advice??

Why? It gives you an excuse to vote the way Hawley wants you to.

🤦‍♂️

Piss-poor excuse. 😒

Must be a democrat.

WTF. 🤬

Another magat scumbag

No shit Sherlock!!!!!

He is a independent in my eyes a dirty word pick a side so good people can win elections

No damn excuse voting is not a freaking game, you don’t play Eeny Meeny Miny Moe! Do your damn research that’s what you get paid for! It’s not a mistake. It’s a lack of knowledge on their behalf. Go hide under a rock somewhere With that bullshit! Or do your job thoroughly!

He’s a liar.

From the photo, he doesn't look the brightest bulb in the pack.

No shit, he couldn’t have figured that one out in advance?

I thought it was LESLIE PHILLIPS! The Sorting HAT!! The BETTER PHRASE THAN YOU!! You're okay... He's dead now...

So incredibly disappointing from a Senator I had always respected.

Did he believe Josh Hawley? If so, he should retire

OMG. ‪ @senangusking.bsky.social‬ So disappointing. And, not buying that you took any advice from Hawley seriously. That does not pass any smell test.

All of the Repubicrats MUST BE VOTED OUT.

He's an independent that often leans left, but this is not a good decision of his

Not just Republicans. Idiot Independents like these and Democrats who vote with Republicans to hurt constituents ( like Fetterman, Sinema and Manchin, who are both former Senators).

💯

People like that wear their glasses on their backsides, because hindsight is 20:20, and they refuse to look at things in detail before they screw up...

Regret only after the vote means nothing to what you stand for.

Being clueless is being incompetent. Why are the losers voted in repeatedly?

Bit bloody late now!

Doesn’t give me any confidence!

If no one ever pays attention to anything I ever say again listen to this one statement. No one, no one should pay attention to anything Josh Hawley has to say He is a J6R, he does not care about his constituents, he talks out of both sides of his mouth & he's a treasonous lying son of a bitch.

Angus is playing politics.

Seriously wtf... taking advice from Josh fucking Hawley?

Dude would back Kim Jong Un and claim it was an accident.

Why the hell would anybody on the Democratic side take Josh Hawley's advice after 1/6/21? Am I the only one who remembers him supporting an insurrection that day? WTF???

Golly. Ya think?

Epstein ~ www.thepetitionsite.com/637/467/299/...

Killing women and causing them undue harm because you want to control them is wrong.

what a TOOL boy BYE

He's much too important and rich to consider such silly details

Why are any decent members of Congress voting for ANYTHING the Trump administration is proposing?! We’ve seen how awful every Trump appointee has been. Vote NO on everything, except releasing the Epstein files!

Time for Angus to go.

To be fair, who could have known (other than everyone with a functioning brain and a modicum of morals)?

The people who don't read before sounding off 🤦‍♀️. King is an independent, not GOP nor DNC. He has a long voting history of supporting reproductive freedom. It wasn't a deciding vote, Divine would've been confirmed even if King voted "no." It was an aberration, not a pattern, but he still apologized.

WHY would you listen to Josh Hawley?!!!!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

LISTEN UP LADIES IN TEXAS.... GIOVANNI CAPRIGLUONE, STATE REP FOR DIST 98, THE CO AUTHOR OF THE HARSH ABORTION BILL FOR TEXAS PAYS FOR THE ABORTION OF HIS MISTRESSES... WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO ONCE THE BILL IS IN EFFECT??? SEND THEM OUT OF STATE. WHO VOTES FOR TWO FACED HYPOTHETICAL PRICKS LIKE THIS?

Suck eggs, you old perverted asshole. You have no right to decide about abortion for any woman. You Idiot, you have a tiny penis. Let me explain. Only Women have a uterus to carry a child through development to birth. EACH time this happens, it is the choice of the woman. Men never have a choice.

If that ONE ISSUE is your ultimate litmus test, it’s not hard to google someone’s name and find out.

Spotting dishonesty, especially lies, is a basic survival skill. People who detect a lie but go along expect to get a portion of the fruit of that lie. Collins. Murko. Corruption like rust never sleeps. Children are being sacrificed. Pedophiles and guns Some survive physically. PTSD. Injustice

his constituents owe us an apology ✉️

What tf are you talking about? He owes his constituents an apology. His constituents put him in congress for this belief in reproductive rights not for his cowtowing to Hawley or other asshloes.

Is this a fucking onion article?! What possibly could have been going through his head?

YES SENATOR HOW COULD YOU???????

You “took the advice” of an avowed fascist and noted coward. Way to go, Angus. This isn’t a fucking golf game.

Profiles in courage.

Hey, at least he admitted it.

WTF is wrong with these people? Do they think they should act "normal"? Our Nation is under attack from within. They all took an oath to support and defend the constitution from ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC. Stand up on you hind legs, dumbass.

Yea, how much was he paid for that disgusting 'mistake?'

So Maine has TWO idiot Senators 🤢, perfect. 🤷

How stupid do you have to be to listen to Josh Hawley????

When you know that things you vote on can affect so many people, wouldn't you think these clowns would do some homework? He should never have sad this out loud. Good grief, they all suck!

This BS has become the common Republicans' go-to play. They say "Fuck you'" to America. Then they do what they do religiously at confession, saying... "Forgive me, my supporters, for I have sinned by not voting in your best interest." And this supposedly wipes the slate clean until next time. 🙄🤬

Angus, I thought you were a stand up guy!

Remove the old folks and start over

It would help if the senior citizens retired already. Nobody should be in the Senate or Congress after 67.

Why would it be a mistake?

WTF is wrong these men

They say what they need to say to get voted in and then they do the opposite so trump doesn’t call them bad names lol fucking pussy lying pos

Vote them out.

Judges are supposed to be unbiased If a judge is found to be biased they should be immediately removed

This is a senator

Oops. Looks like they're taking away your rights by mistake. What a klutz 🤭

well thanks, you old as fuck shit who is A) not a woman and B) not in childbearing years. can you please FIX IT for those of us that are? Dipshit.

I concur, except for "B" - he never was in "childbearing years". However: He's 81, *probably* still able to father a child.

🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

And women collectively shouted “ASSHOLE!!”

So what did he get for his vote?

We need to do the hard work in #Maine and get rid of Susan Collins and King. King isn't half as bad, but he isn't a Democrat.

The nine old men

He knew what he was voting for

What is worse? The vote, or taking ANAY advice from Josh Hawley? And, I like King. This is a serious.

He won’t trust Hawley ever again

Time to retire, angus. Who the hell relies on Hawley?

Not much different than the 77 million votes for trump last year. How many have buyer$ remorse now?

GET THEM OUT! NYC is paving the way for A NEW USA!

elections have consequences even more important when YOU are positioned to represent so many others in the one and ONLY vote ...

I guess people from Maine are stoopid. Eyup.

Selfish idiot!!

Twat.

Angus, certainly you have seen enough shit to know that one should never take Josh Hawley’s advise on anything.

“I think I unpacked too much nuance and accidentally disappeared up my own asshole. But luckily I’m rich and white and male, so…”

His mistress must need an abortion and now can’t because of the law. 🤔🫣🤫

WTF @senangusking.bsky.social?!!!

Why the fuck would anyone take Josh Hawley's advice? Dipshit.

Oh Angus. All that you’ve done that was good. Why the hell would you or anybody else believe Josh Hawley or any other Republican. I’m from Maine and this is awful. As for waffle Suzie. Her no vote meant nothing. She knew he was going to be confirmed. Time to vote them both out.

The "excuse" train has left the building. You try to jump off now? Joke's on you bud. When the shit's hitting the fan, now you just look cowardly AND stupid. Have a seat.

He should fucking resign. All appeasers should fucking resign. They all fucking ignored the fact that this is the Republican plan and has been since Reagan. They voted to appease, period.

Fuck That Bitch!

It wasn't a 'mistake'. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew he would lie afterward to try to duck and 'save face' yet again. Collins' "concern" bullshit is the exact same no integrity playbook. Murkowski, same shit different face. There is no honor among thieves, just greed and lies.

They have a lot of “mistakes” to atone for, but words aren’t accountability and don’t bring back the dead.

Idiots. All of them

One - BIIIIG - mistake! 😡

Unforgivable "mistake"!! 😡

Well no shit, Sherlock.

Oh no! He didn’t?!

No! You go with YOUR staffs recommendations

Listening to Josh Hawley says everything I need to know about you, Senator.

too little too late so too fucking bad
