Missouri Sen. Kevin Engler does not like trash. Or “white trash.”

If you’re thinking about littering in the district of Sen. Kevin Engler, R-Farmington, think again.

He sponsored a bill today, SB 273, that would penalize littering with the death penalty.

“I think that if we kill just a couple of people we catch, the rest will catch on,” he said.

He called the people perpetrating the littering “white trash” and ‘rednecks.”

Soon after, he clarified he was joking about the bill.

2. So how much time of civil servants was wasted in his joke?

Will he pay for their salaries for that time - so that he has to pay for his pathetic attempt at self-publicity?

8. Why is Sen. Engler disrespecting the base of the GOP?

Without White Trash and Rednecks, all they have left are sociopaths and rich people.

9. Repubs and their bloodlust

Their solution to everything is kill it, kill it. (Unless, of course, it's an embryo, then it must be SAVED at all costs! :eyes:)

10. The modern GOP has never met a problem it won't try to solve by killing people.

They just usually aren't honest or clumsy enough to admit this.

11. So let's give him a shout out for being honest!
