The U.S. House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol on Thursday highlighted footage of U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, fleeing the Senate Chamber as the building was being overrun by a mob of Trump supporters. The video served as a rebuke to the image Hawley projected that day, when he was captured in a photograph confidently raising his fist to protesters who would later violently break into the U.S. Capitol building.

Mobs are brainless and impulsive. And the police wanted all the House and Senate to evacuate.
Freepers can be mobs at times.
He was fleeing from what was believed to be an out of control mob coming to kill them. And a handful of them were indeed acting nuts. Everyone was evacuated...so how is this news?
The propaganda press strikes again. And of course, many people here just run with the narrative. You think the press doesn’t influence opinion and perception - if it does it here with people who should know better, what do you think it does to the general public?
The whole place was told to evacuate / shelter in place. So he did that like everyone else. Making “news” out of this is a lie.
KC Star’s specialty.
That is a fair point.
The video served as a rebuke to the image Hawley projected that day, when he was captured in a photograph confidently raising his fist to protesters who would later violently break into the U.S. Capitol building.The breach took place on the West face of the Capitol. Sen. Hawley entered the building on the East face and acknowledged the protestors there — including me — not the ones who breached the building. This piece is deliberately conflating two very different set of protesters.
So what did these hearings conclude?
Trump was pissed he was cheated.
Trump raged that he was cheated.
Trump took steps to uncover the cheating.
A bunch of nitwits trespassed on the Capitol building, taking selfies along the way.
Trump didn’t stop the trespassers by murdering them en-mass like Tiananmen Square.
Where exactly is the crime on Trump’s part?
The KC Star loves making Hawley look foolish. This is par for their course.
It was a 'FEDsurrection'. No one knew how far they would go. Playing it safe is fully acceptable and encouraged.
The MOB did not consist of Trump supporters, but of false-flagged ANTIFAS. The quiet crowd later consisted of Trump supporters.
And had they done so to the truly violent ones only, they'd now have to explain the Democrat party registrations and the ANTIFA/Occupy backgrounds. The only one shot was a non-violent patriot.
