Sen. Hawley uses Capitol riot hearing to criticize ex-general who called him 'piece of s--t'

Sen. Josh Hawley made a big stink Tuesday about a retired Army general who recently called the Missouri Republican “a little piece of s--t” who should be disbarred for his role in last month’s deadly pro-Trump attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Hawley took aim at the ex-general, Russel Honoré, during a Senate hearing that was supposed to focus on the security failures that paved the way for the Jan. 6 riot.

Instead of posing questions about the attack itself, Hawley asked each of the four congressional security officials giving testimony at the hearing what they thought of Honoré's recent statement that they gave the “appearance of complicity” by not making better preparations for Jan. 6.

The security officials replied that Honoré was mistaken, pleasing Hawley.

The security officials replied that Honoré was mistaken, pleasing Hawley.

“Of course none of you were,” said Hawley, who himself remains under fire for his actions before, during and after the Jan. 6 assault. “To allege that any of you were complicit in this violent mob attack on this building I think is not only extremely disrespectful, it’s really quite shocking.”

“That’s outrageous,” Hawley told reporters during a break in Tuesday’s hearing when asked if he’s complicit in the events of Jan. 6. “I would say it’s absolutely outrageous and an utter lie and no one I think who knows any of the facts alleges any such thing.”

instead of "piece of shit"?

General Honore served 31 years in the military, and distinguished himself by being MADE GENERAL!

You've served 2 years as a so called senator from Misery, and have distinguished? yourself by being one of the dumbest & biggest assholes ever elected.

Guess which one I'd follow into battle, and which one would be fragged 2 klicks into the jungle?

as in the case of that little piece of amphibian shit Flynn, who should be recalled to active duty to face a Court Martial for treason and insurrection.

When that asspickle is reduced to Private and sent to federal prison, "that" would be an example of an "ex-general".

that Sen. Hawley stood up and took objection to being called a 'piece of shit!"

Supposedly he corrected that by claiming to be a 'complete, steaming pile of shit!"

Now I didn't hear it, but hey, who knows - 'many people are saying.........'

let alone speaking ill of him. "Little piece of shit" was being generous.
