'Not far enough left'? McCaskill takes moderate approach in Senate race with Hawley

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist, and the greatest trick Claire McCaskill ever tried to pull was convincing Missouri she’s not a progressive liberal,” Bozarth said.

He called her claims of bipartisanship “window dressing.”

“I’ll say this about Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders — they don’t pretend to be something they’re not,” Bozarth said.

Missouri Sen. Jamilah Nasheed, D-St. Louis, said she doesn’t hear complaints that McCaskill isn’t liberal enough. She said McCaskill’s stances on health care and increasing the availability of Pell grants for college students are liberal stances.
