Adam Kinzinger calls Josh Hawley 'one of the worst human beings' and a 'con artist'

Adam Kinzinger calls Josh Hawley 'one of the worst human beings' and a 'con artist' after the senator urges Biden to block Ukraine from joining NATO

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/adam-kinzinger-calls-josh-hawley-one-of-the-worst-human-beings-and-a-con-artist-after-the-senator-urges-biden-to-block-ukraine-from-joining-nato/ar-AATpns8

Can you imagine what would have happened in the 40s (Cold War & China), 50s (McCarthy & Korea), 60s (Vietnam & Cold War), 70s (Russia & Afghanistan) 80s (Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall) & the 90s if a US Senator had made pro USSR/Russian comments?

Putin owns a large hunk of the GOP & Fox News.

**********

Adam Kinzinger renewed his criticism of Josh Hawley, this time over how the US should handle the Russian-Ukraine
crisis." I hate to be so personal, but Hawley is one of the worst human beings," Kinzinger wrote on Twitter.
Hawley urged Biden to abandon any support for Ukraine joining NATO.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger blasted Sen. Josh Hawley on Wednesday after the senator criticized President Joe Biden for ordering troops to Europe as Russia ramps up its preparations for a potential new invasion of Ukraine, while calling on the White House to block Ukraine from joining the NATO alliance.

"I hate to be so personal, but Hawley is one of the worst human beings, and a self egrandizing [sic] con artist," Kinzinger wrote on Twitter. "When Trump goes down I certainly hope this evil will be laid [sic] in the open for all to see, and be ashamed of."

If Hawley lived in Soviet Russia he would have sought employment with the KGB. It is in his DNA.

They had gone beyond their 'range of operation/duties' during the Obama Administration:

While President Obama was in negotiations with Iran, the Pukes invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before a joint session of Congress:

https://www.vox.com/2015/3/9/8177815/republicans-foreign-policy-sabotage

Later they sent a letter to Iran while President Obama was trying to negotiate a nuclear deal (the deal was later reached, only to be negated by TFG). This, too, was an egregious action unseen in Congressional history:

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/10/world/asia/white-house-faults-gop-senators-letter-to-irans-leaders.html

And these people claim that they "Love America?"

His voting record stinks. He has called Obamacare a failure.

If he is so wonderful, let him stay with the republicans and help turn them from a cult back into a political party.

Senator Danforth backed him. He has apologized several times since January 6/21. Guess he didn’t know about Hawley’s communist tendencies.

to get him elected to the Senate was the worst mistake I ever made in my life," [repub former MO senator John] Danforth said in a Thursday phone interview with the St. Louis Post Dispatch. "[Hawley] is doing real harm. What he's doing to his party is one thing. What he's doing to the country is much worse."

Several months ago, the NYTran an article about Hawley. He is a rabid Christian Nationalist who believes the US should be a theocracy and only people like him allowed to rule. What a jerk. He is not up for reelection until 2024, but voters in Missouri probably liked his thumbs-up gesture to the insurrectionists, along with his extremist viewpoints.
