Derek Schmidt

18-year olds. What could possibly go wrong? Human brains do not reach developmental maturity until on average age 25. But I guess Kansas legislators don’t do neuroscience nor listen to those who do.

Schmidt still trying to make Kansas great again....boooo

So 18 year olds can’t drink or smoke legally in Kansas and have to have a license and have insurance and pass a test to drive a vehicle but they can openly carry and now carry concealed firearms, deadly weapons. Where is the rational common sense in that? Are Kansas legislators idiots?

Old enough to die for your country... Old enough to carry.

Certainly don’t agree with lowering the age! I do however support our 2nd amendment rights.

Ashamed to be a Kansan and I believe in 2nd amendment rights. This is dangerous. 😥

Legislature needs to require gun owners to provide proof they can hit their target with a yearly pass fail shoot at a gun range, to be provided IF said owner has to defend their self.

This the day after a school shooting? You’re despicable. I shouldn’t have to do active shooter drills with 5 year olds for your gross gun laws. We need reform!

Please get on board with the rest of the nation. Kansas is an embarrassment; you're not representing the majority of us. Jeez! 🤦🏼‍♀️

There was literally a school shooting yesterday and you want to make it easier for young people to conceal their guns. Yup that's the solution. More young people carrying guns in public places. Not closing loopholes or ensuring that the people concealing guns in public are of sound mental health.

All whilst driving the wrong way on I-70!

That’s great! Just like all freedoms, the 2nd Amendment is equally as important.

So remind me again about how the murder rate in Kansas City shattered all records last year? So you're all about protecting Kansans, right? And this is how you think you're going to solve it? I saw this in Iraq too. We pumped millions of weapons into the region, hoping it would calm things down. How's that working out?? Good plan Sir. And good luck.

Make a conceal and carry license mandatory.

WHY DID YOU ALLOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BREAK KANSAS LAW AND PROSECUT JEREMY KETTLER!?!?

When the law makers of this state are worried about this over the multitudes of other more important issues this state faces. It shows you how uncaring the GOP is to it's average citizens.

Yay more untrained folks walking around with a deadly weapon. I'm glad you're so proud of yourself.

I support the whole bill. Preserve our Second Amendment rights!

Love how they are pro gun freedom, but oppose voter freedom.

Sad, making it easier to get a gun than it is to vote.

Well, at least these new carriers are too young to buy alcohol. (Meant to be sarcastic.)

Thank you for keeping Kansas First.

Excellent! Gun Safety Education needs to happen, And parents need to take a look at the video games their kids play and what they watch. Guns don’t kill, people do.

I still can't tell if you believe your own BS or not.

They can't drink because they're not responsible enough but they can carry a concealed gun? WTF is wrong with Kansas law makers?!

Cancel Derek forever

How tf that gonna stop anything.

This is the utter nonsense you focus on? Not improving justice, combatting inequality or improving people’s lives; just a mindless, divisive culture war. How about focusing on things that actually affect Kansas citizens? No? Too tough for you? What a pathetic Trump impersonator you’ve turned into. Shame.

This is the dumbest post I have read this week. Which is crazy because I follow a large slew of people who pretend to be ants. #lift

Derek you do realize that the Republican Party actually started the 'cancel culture '? Ask the Dixie Chicks. BTW, Dr. Seuss's books the FAMILY TRUST stopped allowing to he printed were the worst sellers of his library? Mr. Potato Head was brought up by Beavis.....I mean Don Jr.....NOT the public at large. The State of Georgia did this to themselves...all you see is a reaction to Jim Crow voting laws.

Nice buzz words. So companies are not allowed to make choices for their businesses now? You want to take away people’s freedom to choose ?

I support you Derek Schmidt!

How exactly would you "end" cancel culture and would it applied evenly to all people? Everyone has opinions. Why do you feel it is it OK to boycott Nike but not Hobby Lobby? What would you do to make me shop at these places you feel I am "canceling"? What if really did not like Chick-fil-A sandwiches, would I be forced to buy from them because you feel my taste falls under "cancel culture"? How would you control my thoughts and opinions to ensure I did not fall prey to "cancel culture"? How can you pretend to scream freedom while wanting to control the thoughts of others?

"The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin." -- Proverbs 10:14

Setting aside for a moment that none of the entities you listed were neither cancelled nor victims of cancel culture... as Governor what actions would you take to cancel cancel culture in Kansas? Executive orders? Writing legislation? Imprisonments for those who speak out against entities they disagree with?

Come on Mr. Schmidt, please rise above these tired lines. Be an independent leader, not a Republican Party hack.

I’d like to cancel you. Where’s that petition?

There is no cancel culture. It's showing compassion for others. It is what Jesus told us to do.

Add Dixie chicks, rock and roll, Harry Potter, dungeons and dragons, and any religion that isn't Christian to that list and maybe I'll listen to what you have to say

We The People need to smarten up and start using their own cancel culture against these libtards and it will stop. Play their own game better!

Let’s talk about Liz Cheney, and Ben Sasse. Is that cancel culture?

Wow, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Just another example of your 𝙎𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙚 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜.

This is ridiculous. Seuss and Potato Head weren't cancelled. You know it, but choose to light the fire. Georgia cancelled voting access.

How many times are you going to insult our intelligence with ridiculously hypocritical and false narratives about "cancel culture"? I'm assuming to earn the degrees you have, reading comprehension and critical thinking skills are a must. Derek Scmidt Education: University of Kansas (BA) University of Leicester (MA) Georgetown University (JD). Either you're too lazy to do the proper research on what you post, or you think we're so stupid we don't know any better. Shame on you!

Conservative Christians invented cancel culture. Stop.

It’s not “cancel culture”. Do your homework. www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/amp35738910/dr-seuss-racism-books-cancel-culture-interview/

So private companies deciding not to publish something is wrong now?

Lois Henry: We are indeed becoming a communist state...democrats telling us what we can and can't do...censorship of free speech...the press, social media, the present administration cancelling and spreading hate and division throughout America...Exactly what is Obamas end game????

I think we should to be able to determine where OUR tax dollars are going. The govt is made up of our tax money and nothing more. Why would it go to people who aren’t citizens, and are not current tax payers. They are breaking the law. I’m all for people who want to come here legally. But this is maddening!

Biden administration believes in america last.

Derek Schmitt, please show that you aren't like Governor Brownback who cut taxes and defunded our schools. Please, speak up against this budget that includes no funding for schools kansasreflector.com/2021/04/10/kansas-legislature-passes-20-billion-spending-blueprint-for-state-...

With all the bible versus you post the basic premise of Christianity still seems to escape you and much of the rest of the GOP.

So Derek Schmidt doesn't understand that illegal immigrants are human beings who are also suffering under covid?

The amount of Corporate welfare dwarfs the entire amount of poor services, immigrant services and social services many times over. But yeah it's a crime to help those that need it for sure. #grandstander

Look what states give the federal government the most money

Why are you crying about New York? We're in Kansas, no?

Derek Marshall Oh the horror! Providing a HUMAN BEING with a bit of relief! You spout the Bible on Sunday but on Monday you’re all about hate and division You are a liar and a traitor! 1/6/2021

Just beyond unacceptable!

Wyco got a hefty payout from the feds. It didn't go to the people, but it could have. Each resident could have received another healthy stimulus check and didn't. Supposedly $1M went to small businesses, but none of the small business owners I have spoken with received aid. 🤷

How do you feel about a balanced budget? Not just slashing taxes as the budget bleeds red? Neither party seems to care about a budget.

Kansas will not provide health care.

So are we suing New York now?

Why does Kansas Republicans & Democrats let workers compensation insurance & their doctors treat injured Kansas Workers like trash?

Your xenophobia is showing, Derek.

Oh the remarks 🥺

Clearly wrong. No discussion on that nonsense.

Derek keep on 🇺🇸!

What’s that about

They need to get rid of them illegal European immigrants!!!😜😜😜🙃

Anyone who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities. VOLTAIRE Derek is using the old Nazi playbook. Dehumanize people and it makes them easier to kill. The Nazis called the Jewish people vermin and had posters of them with rat faces. This is here today in America:(

Would this be like trump using federal aid as leverage against states that didn't support him?

Awww you didn’t get that trump pardon and you’re trying to stay relevant. You seditious lying traitor
