'Phony': Josh Hawley Slammed by Home State Editorial Board on Eve of July 4 for Pushing Trump 'Lies'

Senator Josh Hawley faced intense criticism from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's editorial board on Saturday for pushing former President Donald Trump's "big vote-fraud lie" and leading the Republican effort to overturn the 2020 election.

On the eve of Independence Day, the Post-Dispatch's editorial board accused Hawley of undermining American democracy by "voting to overturn a valid election based on nothing but [Trump] supporters' disdain for the outcome."

"Polarization today is so deep and toxic that many have become convinced that any electoral win by the other side is intrinsically illegitimate and should be opposed by any tactics necessary, including tactics outside the Constitution," the board said, calling Hawley's efforts "phony."

"Patriots of conscience, regardless of party, should forcefully reject this inherently un-American mindset," it added.
