Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) never apologized for saluting the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and now hes selling campaign merchandise emblazoned with his infamous fist pump.
An email sent to supporters on Monday boasted that the Hawley campaigns new $20 coffee mug is the perfect way to enjoy Coffee, Tea, or Liberal Tears!
Hawley was one of several Republican senators who objected to the 2020 electoral vote certification in Congress after hundreds of Donald Trump supporters ransacked the Capitol, leading to the deaths of five people.
The Missouri Republican has downplayed the riot from the beginning, describing it at the time as just another example of political violence like the riots that stemmed from protests against police violence in the summer of 2020. He has said anyone who broke the law that day should go to jail, but reserved the term mob mainly for his own critics.
