Senator Josh Hawley, the Boorish Gentleman from Missouri
Senator Hawley was seen escaping the U.S. Capitol as insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol looking for the elected officials they sought to target for violence.
Last night, the January 6th hearings took a comically dark turn as the nation and lawmakers on the January 6th committee played a clip of Senator Josh Hawley running out of the U.S. Capitol after raising his fist in a white power show of force to the insurrectionists outside the U.S. Capitol.
Never the one to forgo the opportunity to indulge in capitalism [after all, politics is a business] Senator Hawley earlier this year started selling mugs of his picture as a way to sweeten any white supremacists morning cup of coffee while the bitter taste of a polarized and divided country continues to make this country more dangerous.
As President Abraham Lincoln once said: “A house divided cannot stand” and given the venom in American politics, it is all too possible that we may not even have a functioning democracy in a certain time.
The Democratic Party in Missouri responded to this clip by planning a ‘Hawlin’ Hawley’ 5K race after Hawley’s attempt to be the center of attention at a white nationalist rally.
Senator Josh Hawley is facing off against a primary opponent. His name is Lucus Kunce, a Marine Corp Veteran with 13 years of serving this country. He can run too, but it hasn’t been away from white supremacists. It’s been towards people who need his help.
