Another demagogue with no principles.

John C. Danforth, a former Republican senator from Missouri, had once viewed Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) as a “once-in-a-generation” talent — a young, upstart politician with a promising future in Washington.
Yet after a mob of Trump supporters burst into the Capitol on Wednesday, Danforth said that campaigning for Hawley to take his old seat was “the worst mistake I ever made in my life.”
Hawley had been the first senator to announce he would object to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, citing baseless claims of mass election fraud. So when the rioters bashed inside, attempting to overturn the election, it was clear who was at fault, Danforth said.
“But for him it wouldn’t have happened,” Danforth told the Kansas City Star. He made the certification vote “a way to express the view that the election was stolen. He was responsible.” |

From what I understand, Sen. Hawley's antics just killed his upcoming book deal. Do something stupid, and there can be negative consequences. |

With the likes of him, Ted Cruz et al there is little chance they will vote to impeach.
To do so would make them complicit in the intended overthrow of our democracy through the attack on The Capitol on Jan. 6th.
Along with Agent Orange they propagated lies and falsehoods regarding the outcome of the Nov. 3rd election, inviting an angry group of staunch Trump followers to a "wild" rally Jan. 6th, and instigated the death and destruction than ensued.
I'll take back my reference to the female genitalia in describing the Senator from the Show Me state and instead allot him the label of an unprincipled, shameless, halfwit populist!!! |
