Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has once again stabbed President Trump in the back, this time joining with Democrats and four other weak-kneed Republican senators to pass a War Powers resolution designed to tie Trump's hands in dealing with the socialist Venezuelan regime.

The bipartisan resolution, which passed Thursday, aims to limit Trump's military authority regarding Venezuela - effectively giving aid and comfort to the Maduro dictatorship while hamstringing America's commander-in-chief during his crucial second term.

Hawley joined the usual suspects - RINOs Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul, along with Todd Young - in this latest act of Republican betrayal. These five senators chose to side with Democrats rather than support their own party's president in confronting the crisis in Venezuela.

Patriots Express OUTRAGE at Hawley's Betrayal

Missouri conservatives are absolutely livid at their senator's latest backstab. Social media erupted with fury from Trump supporters who feel betrayed by Hawley's pattern of undermining the president.

"Josh is a yellow trader i would never vote for him for anything," posted @poeboy on social media, expressing the sentiment of many Missouri patriots.

A retired Marine from Missouri was even more direct in his condemnation: "I use to think highly of my Senator Hawley. Contributed a lot to his election. Not anymore. He's standing in the way of Trump progress," wrote @USMCRETIRED72.

This isn't Hawley's first rodeo when it comes to breaking with Trump at critical moments. The Missouri senator has developed a troubling pattern of grandstanding against the president, often siding with establishment Republicans and Democrats when it matters most.

Venezuela Crisis Demands Strong Leadership

While Hawley plays politics, the Venezuelan crisis continues to destabilize our hemisphere. The Maduro regime continues to oppress its people while flooding America with illegal immigrants and drugs. President Trump needs every tool at his disposal to confront this threat - not constitutional handcuffs from his own party.

The question Missouri voters need to ask is simple: Why did they send Josh Hawley to Washington to fight Democrats, only to watch him join them against President Trump? Patriots deserve better than another RINO who talks tough but caves when it counts.

Absolutely disgusted with Hawley right now! We sent him to the Senate to FIGHT for America First principles, not cave to the establishment warmongers.

Same here! I donated to his campaign thinking he was different from the swamp creatures.

Can someone explain exactly what powers Hawley voted against? The article mentions war powers but I want to understand the specifics before I make up my mind.

Hold up patriots - maybe Hawley is actually being consistent with constitutional principles here? Article I gives Congress war powers for a reason, even if we support Trump's Venezuela strategy.

The Constitution is important but so is loyalty to the movement that got him elected!

As a veteran who served in Iraq, I'm actually glad someone is finally standing up for proper war powers oversight. Congress shouldn't be a rubber stamp for ANY president's military adventures.

But this is about supporting Trump's foreign policy goals! Hawley is undermining our movement at the worst possible time.

I've been following Hawley since his AG days in Missouri and this seems really out of character. There has to be more to this story that we're not seeing.
