From our perspective . . . Both NPR and the Senator seem to be targeting low-info voters with emotive rhetoric ahead of a ballot issue showdown that most Republicans admit they're going to lose.

We're not certain that the whispering newsies of NPR calling the Senator a liar is the right tact.

The initiative would put the right to an abortion into the state constitution. KSMU in Springfield reports that in his speech the Republican Senator erroneously linked Amendment 3 to health care for transgender youth.

“This is about an effort to come into our schools behind your backs without your knowledge, to tell our kids that there's something wrong with them and to give them drugs that will sterilize them for life, to push them toward procedures that will fundamentally change their bodies irrevocably for life,” Hawley said at the event. “And there will be nothing we can do about it.”
