Regarding the editorial \u201cSince Schmitt is ignoring our invitation, we\u2019ll ask here what kind of senator he\u2019d be\u201d (Oct. 20): Whom does Eric Schmitt really want to represent in the US Senate? If you\u2019re a taxpayer, not you. He wasted your money suing China over COVID-19, and seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election. If you\u2019re a teacher, or the parent of a school-age child, not you. He sued 47 school districts over mask mandates that protect the health of students, teachers, and their families. If you\u2019re a woman, not you. He has done everything he can to deny you control over your own body and health care. If you need affordable health insurance, not you. He participated in a lawsuit aimed at striking down the Affordable Care Act. If you\u2019re a Jew, not you. He supported Kanye West\u2019s open threats to Jews. If you\u2019re a voter, not even you. He tried to block funding for Medicaid expansion that had already been solidly approved by Missouri voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
