I suppose that you have to give some kind of backhanded credit to Josh Hawley for the fact that he doesn’t even bother to hide the fact that he’s a racist. No, he trumpets the fact loud and clear. He figures it worked for his idol Donald Trump, it should work for him, right?
Hawley was the sole dissenting vote in the Senate on the COVID-19 hate crimes bill.

Josh Hawley would love to be Big Brother. That’s the way he’s wired. He just can’t get enough of how Trump pushed authoritarianism and how he surrounded himself with people like Bill Barr, Lindsey Graham and the rest of them to support that stance. That’s exactly who Josh Hawley is.
Missouri deserves much better. Hell, fascist Italy under Mussolini deserved better than this.
OH YEAH! That’s the way to REPRESENT your constituents #HAWLEY.. Now More Americans every day realize how STUPID #Missouri #Voters are.
I never take “so-and-so voted against such-and-such” ledes at face value. Sometimes a bill with good intent is so poorly written with so much potential for unanticipated consequences that it should be voted against. Remember the AOC vote the right had such a filed day with. These sorts of ledes may mean somebody voted against a specific blll while supporting the goal of the bill. I voted against voter-initiated referendums all the time because poor craftsmanship so often characterizes them. I am not saying that Hawley had a good reason for voting against the bill, only that in general it is better to look deeper into these sorts of ledes. One tactic of propaganda is depending on the tendency of human nature to take things at face value.
You are giving him a benefit of the doubt that is neither deserved nor earned.
I think if this bill were ‘so poorly written with so much potential for unanticipated consequences’, there would have been far more votes against it than just Hawley’s. Your criticism is way off base on this.
“Sometimes a bill with good intent is so poorly written with so much potential for unanticipated consequences that it should be voted against.”
You know what, Dana? That is EXACTLY the kind of wording you tend to get from REPUBLICANS who plan to vote against a bill, no matter how popular it is.
In fact, the House version of the bill featured GOP opposition who basically used those same words to explain their “nay” votes.
The show-me State has been SHOWN PLENTY, maybe they are just a little slow on the uptake?
They DO have an interesting stainless steel arch down there, but they also have the sight of the really big earthquake to come, probably why they have so many pipelines going under the big river to launch flaming shale oil crap all over the southbound river country when it hits ….
Maybe they should look in the mirror more often, focus on that shadow over their shoulder, HAWLEY …
Personally, I call him Hitler Junior myself.
He’s an idiot , and certainly doesn’t belong in the Senate .
