Hawley votes against all of Biden's nominees. His only yes votes have been for sedition
Josh Hawley in this Congress has voted against all the Biden nominees and against the waiver for Lloyd Austin to serve as defense secretary. His lone two 'yes' votes so far have been to throw out the electoral results of Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Hawley as a high school kid
Josh Hawley exhibited warning signs of an extremist sympathizer long before he sided with the people who set out to attack the US Capitol.

Hawley spoke up for militia members after the 1995 OKC bombing and defended Mark Fuhrman against charges of racism.https://t.co/a6IPdVqOW4
We learned today that he’s basically been writing this same column since he was fifteen years old—at that time blaming the media for the Oklahoma City bombing. https://t.co/sP4hurqdDO https://t.co/Tr6vTzZ29g

‘Bamboozled.’ Hawley mentors stunned by conduct, but early warning signs were there https://t.co/SNp51e4MA1

Since the Capitol rampage, Josh Hawley's mentors have disavowed him. Donors have demanded refunds. Colleagues have called for his resignation or expulsion. And those who helped guide his career are asking if they missed something essential about him. https://t.co/ofqq3Ap2gk

The raised fist to the MAGA invaders will be the end of his political career
"It was like a Dukakis-on-the-tank moment," one Republican strategist said about the viral photo of Josh Hawley raising his fist toward the gathered pro-Trump crowd, "in that he just looked phony and out of place and like a doofus." https://t.co/DUSOxW0CKm

I wonder, in private, how much once-golden-boy Josh Hawley is regretting that raised fist.

It may be the photo that defines him... forever.
Josh Hawley becomes ‘The Face of Sedition’
I’m begging my friends in the media to always ask Josh Hawley about Officer Brian Sicknick. Don’t let him play his games without asking him how he feels about cheering the mob that murdered a cop. @HawleyMO is an accessory to murder not a victim. Their names are linked forever. pic.twitter.com/Q7ewmuhlCu

To think that Sen. Josh Hawley was once a prosecutor and an Attorney General of a state keeps me up at night.
— David Farah (@DavidkFarah) January 9, 2021
Imagine how many people were wrongly prosecuted, convicted/jailed because of him.
I think ACLU, Legal Aid Society and the Innocence Project should look at his all cases

“Fucking psychopath.” — a Republican official watching Hawley speak tells me.

Congress is back in session for Joint Session. I’m on the House Floor and what do you know—none of the Senate GOP seditionists are here. These men are not only traitors to our country, they are cowards who can’t bring themselves to watch democracy win.

Here’s the takeaway stat from the Axios poll: Josh Hawley underwater with Rs and not well liked even among Trumpy Republicans.

Josh Hawley losing support! “Missouri is fed up,” Justice Horn, of Kansas City, said. “Our Senator, Josh Hawley, is an embarrassment to our state because he supported a bloody coup attempt to overthrow the election. The best thing is to resign.” Protesters at all Hawley offices!

I don't lightly call for the expulsion of a member of the United States Senate. But, what we're witnessing from @HawleyMO is the willful feeding of a conspiracy theory to give comfort to the cause of insurrectionists. It cannot occur in a modern democracy with impunity.

You have no political future.
This will not blow over.
This will never go away.
You are forever tied to one of the most despicable moments in American history.
And you helped cause it.
