Sen. Josh Hawley becomes public enemy No. 1 on Capitol Hill
NBC News ^ | January 9, 2021 | Allan Smith

Posted on 01/09/2021 9:37:52 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

One of his most important early backers now says supporting him "was the worst mistake I ever made in my life," and a top donor called for him to be censured by the Senate.

That's just some of the condemnation that's come Sen. Josh Hawley's way since the Missouri Republican became the first senator to announce he would object to the counting of Electoral College votes and then moved forward with his plan even after a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters had stormed the Capitol on Wednesday.

“... mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters had stormed the Capitol on Wednesday...”


Did NBC News ever describe the people who burnt Minneapolis, or DC as a ‘mob’? Just wondering. Did they use the word ‘stormed’ to describe what they did?

If Trump backs out, Hawley is my candidate for 2024. If you ever wondered why these GOP legislators are backing off - it’s because of donors who own them. Hawley is the rare animal who’s not scared of his donors. Cruz is a close second. That is what moral courage looks like - to stand virtually alone among your pampered peers, drawing strength only from vox populi.

Do any of our members CARE what pinion that NBC’s personnel have??
OR
Do any of of the FR members/readers care if the network HAS an opinion on any subject??

Personally, I can think of NO network that is HONEST, FAIR or even “brainy”.
For that reason, I would prefer that the various TV networks simply report the FACTS and keep their FOOLISH/LEFTIST opinions to themselves.

Just my OPINION, ex-cadet

Perhaps conservative Missourians should call his office to voice their support. A positive call counts a good deal.

We stand in agreement with GOD'S Mighty Promise on behalf of President Trump, Vice-President Pence, Sen. Josh Howley, Rep. Mary Miller, and all God-fearing leaders and believers who are being attacked for freedom's sake.

They are trying to destroy individuals in a bully campaign of personal destruction.

No but if NBC reports that Josh Hawley is “Public Enemy # 1” at Capitol Hill, that just may mean “he’s our guy”.

Not sure if there’s a Missouri ping list but someone should ping it.

He needs to spend more time in Mo. His family will be safer there
These are dangerous times
He can zoom into congressional meetings. DC is poison.

Anyone who objects to the election steal is going to be marginalized like we birthers. This is another gas lighting psy op. The election was stolen.

The best response is to defy gas lighting and insist the that the election was stolen. We have all the evidence. It needs to be repeated over and over.

Hawley can take care of himself.
