Stephen Colbert Gives Sen. Josh Hawley A Scathing New Nickname

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Stephen Colbert has a new nickname for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.): Fascist Gump.

Hawley has attracted widespread ridicule since the Jan. 6 committee revealed a video at Thursday’s hearing showing him running from the U.S. Capitol during the 2021 riot, not long after giving a closed-fist salute to insurrectionists outside.

“This weekend, at the right-wing Turning Point USA Summit, we heard from Missouri senator and star of the new film ‘Fascist Gump’ Josh Hawley,” Colbert said Monday on “The Late Show.”

During his speech at the Florida conference, Hawley boasted that he objected to President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory in Pennsylvania. Hawley did so even after the mob of Donald Trump’s supporters laid siege to the Capitol in an effort to overturn the results.

9. In the classic scene,

Forest as a kid is running away from bullies. This what the jokes & memes have been referencing.
