Yeah, but those seven Senators didn’t pump their fists at insurrectionists immediately before the breach of the Capitol

The first rule of holes: When you find yourself in a deep hole, stop digging.

The first rule of republicans: Projection doesn’t just happen in movie theaters.

The first rule of Josh Hawley (r): “Where’s the microphone?”

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

Today, in self-serving arrogance:

Hawley Calls for Investigation into Democrat Abuse of Senate Ethics Process
Monday, January 25, 2021

U.S. Senator Josh (R-Mo.) is filing a counter-complaint today against seven Senate Democrats who called for an ethics investigation into his objection to certifying Pennsylvania’s electoral count. The Democrats admitted in their complaint that Hawley’s electoral college objection was lawful. In a letter to the seven Democrat Senators, Senator Hawley called out the senators for their historic partisan abuse of the Senate ethics process and potential coordination with dark money groups.[….]

Project much?

Billboard in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

Missourians are going to be reminded of that raised fist for a long time.

You think he sees that billboard every day on his commute between his home in Virginia and the Capitol? Just asking.

When it’s Sedition, it pours.

Josh Hawley (r) scheduled a February fundraiser in Florida.

Today:

Loews Hotels @Loews_Hotels
We are horrified and opposed to the events at the Capitol and all who supported and incited the actions. In light of those events and for the safety of our guests and team members, we have informed the host of the Feb. fundraiser that it will no longer be held at Loews Hotels.
12:18 PM · Jan 16, 2021

Dayam.

Some of the comments:

You would think Trump’s insurrection mob would pick Trump hotels.

Like Donald himself, have they no loyalty?

Because, God knows, Donald’s hotels are going to need the business.

Every place they go, every thing they do, and every business or person that supports them..:we have to be as loud as the seditionists but use peace, the power of our wallets and the power of our votes to end them.

He should NEVER be allowed into polite elite society EVER. That is all they care about anyway. They should be shunned for life and thank god they are rich and white and able to get out of an insurrection in this country without jail time.

Thank you @Loews_Hotels for not supporting vile and seditious @HawleyMO.

“Supporting Josh Hawley … was the worst decision I’ve ever made in my life,” former MO Sen. John Danforth told The Associated Press.

Danforth is @HawleyMO’s mentor.

Thank you for doing this. I am confident that @HawleyMO can find another way to fleece the public and taxpayers to pay for his family vacation. This is the right move.

Good call.

I’m a professional meeting planner and make venue decisions all the time.

The moral and ethical associations of the venues I choose is a big consideration when I recommend or contract for major meeting and lodging venues.

Good call.

Outstanding. A great corporate response to what is turning out in Hawley’s case to be a national security issue. Its time for others to stand up for our country and what we really believe in.
Made my day.

Thank you. You chose the right side of history. It was either Democracy or Fascism. Glad you chose Democracy.

And on and on…

Josh Hawley (r) steps on a rake. Again.

Today on social media:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Thanks ⁦@Walmart ⁩ for your insulting condescension. Now that you’ve insulted 75 million Americans, will you at least apologize for using slave labor?

Apparently someone at Walmart forgot to log out of their corporate Twitter.

Josh Hawley (r) doubles down with faux populism:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Or maybe you’d like to apologize for the pathetic wages you pay your workers as you drive mom and pop stores out of business
12:54 PM · Dec 30, 2020
