Hawley hauls in $3M after attempt to block election results

Sen. Josh Hawley raised more than $3 million during the first three months of the year, underscoring how the Missouri Republican converted his high-profile opposition to the certification of the 2020 election into big fundraising support.

The freshman senator drew widespread attention for leading the Jan. 6 effort to block the acceptance of the Electoral College results, a controversial stand that liberals and some Republicans claim undermined faith in the political system. But he won plaudits from loyalists of former President Donald Trump, who opened their wallets.

Hawley received more than 57,000 donations during the first quarter, according to a person familiar with the totals. He managed to raise nearly $600,000 during the 2 1/2 weeks following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, despite temporarily halting his fundraising outreach.

It represents a massive increase for Hawley. By comparison, he raised just $43,000 during the first quarter of the last election cycle, immediately after taking office.

His colleagues aren't going to do anything about him, Cruz, and the others who insist on begging for handouts.

I don't understand these people. Do they have so much money that they can spend it on these clowns? Go ahead and use them...don't forget to add a check box to donate every week or month...in fact, check it for them so they don't have to do it themselves. You've got your sucker born every minute. Sheesh!
