Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley is the latest subject of internet Photoshop battles in response to comments he made last week accusing the left of "hurting the future of the American man."

And this week, Hawley made clear during an appearance on Axios on HBO that he intends to make toxic masculity a signature political issue, telling the documentary news series that the left is telling people like him that their masculinity is "inherently problematic."


You can hear his latest remarks in the video below.

Hawley's remarks attracted the attention of Rick Wilson, the co-founder of The Lincoln Project, a political action committee dedicated to repudiating the rhetoric of former President Donald Trump and defeating all Republicans in close races running for re-election in the United States Senate.

Wilson sarcastically quipped that he hoped "no one photoshops Josh Hawley in drag makeup," saying that would "be totally wrong for the champion of American masculinity."

 

Fortunately for Wilson—and unfortunately for Hawley—the internet loves a good challenge.

Twitter users proceeded to give Hawley the sort of drag makeovers that would make the hosts of Rupaul's Drag Race very proud.

Among the more prominent submissions was one from a Twitter user whose Photoshop job made good use of the now infamous photo of Hawley greeting a mob of Trump supporters who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6 with a fist-bump.

 

Others, however, proved that they were more than up to the challenge. Hilarity ensued.

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 

Hawley has been the subject of considerable derision since he, while speaking at the National Conservatism Conference in Orlando, Florida, claimed that the left wants to give the United States "a world beyond men."

He went further, saying:

"The Left know what they believe. They believe that America is a systemically racist, structurally oppressive, hopelessly patriarchal kind of place."
"It's a dystopia, if only Americans would get woke enough to see it. It's a nation that needs to be taught how unjust it truly is and after that, rebuilt from top to bottom."

In perhaps his speech's oddest moment, Hawley claimed that this line of thought has put the men of the country "in crisis":

"This is an effort the Left has been at for years now. And they have had // alarming success. American men are working less, getting married in fewer numbers; they're fathering fewer children."
"They are suffering more anxiety and depression. They are engaging in more substance abuse. Many men in this country are in crisis, and their ranks are swelling."
"And that's not just a crisis for men. It's a crisis for the republic."
"Because the problem with the Left's assault on the masculine virtues is that those self-same qualities, the very ones the Left now vilify as dangerous and toxic, have long been regarded as vital to self-government."

Hawley's remarks have been criticized as a "conspiratorial vision" and amplification of the ongoing culture wars between Republicans and Democrats.

They also serve as obfuscation for the role he played ahead of the January 6 insurrection.

Hawley was the first Senator to object to the certification of President Joe Biden's electoral win.

While he has since claimed he doesn't agree with former President Trump's lie that the 2020 general election was fraudulent, he has issued contradictory and unrepentant statements likening the left to a "woke mob."

Dr. Oz Slammed For Tone Deaf Health Advice For Americans On Medicaid And Medicare

Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he offered Americans unsolicited health advice during a Fox News appearance, saying that Americans shouldn't "eat carrot cake" as millions face cuts to their government-funded health insurance.

The passage of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 17 million people to lose valuable Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Under the bill, individuals earning just above the federal poverty line would be required to start paying out of pocket for certain Medicaid services, such as doctor visits and lab tests.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks

California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump accused Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud" in a Truth Social post—prompting Schiff to point out that Trump's attack is another attempt to take attention away from Trump's association with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump, without citing evidence, said Fannie Mae’s financial crimes division found that Schiff had a “sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud" that involved misstating which home Schiff used as a primary residence, allowing him to secure a cheaper mortgage.
