Sen. Hawley Endorses Trump's Anti-Democratic Fantasy, Announces He Will Contest Election - All In



“Hawley has now outed himself as the lead plotter in the Senate in Donald Trump's attempted coup. It's a scarlet letter that should follow him forever. He has gone on record against democracy. And he's forcing the rest of the GOP to go on record, too,” says Mehdi Hasan. Aired on 12/30/2020.

When a Republican Senator does something absolutely Unconstitutional and then I wonder will there be any consequences at all for the action? I don't see it happening until maybe next year where there is a new JUSTICE system in place!

Or now - if a Democrat did the same thing. It totally boggles the mind just to enumerate the countless transgressions of Trump - and that includes only up to the time of the impeachment hearings! I often think how much different things in this country would be today if only he had been removed when we had the chance - but the Republicans ignored the overwhelming evidence presented at that time as well.

and should be showcased prominently for public ridicule.

How can the public learn to trust government when such an elected fool takes such self-serving actions?
