Why The Jan. 6 Josh Hawley Video Is About More Than A Senator Running Away - MSNBC

"A normal tourist visit," when we know that tourists weren't allowed due to Covid - and then we see footage of these same Republicans blocking the doors against the incoming rioters!

signing up for a subscription (I lived in the KC area, and now am in STLMO, but also lived in the Ozarks, Joplin, and have family all over the state). Apart from the obtaining of news about old neighborhoods I lived in, I wanted to support this paper that nailed josh hawley and his running away quite well. I was proud of the newspaper doing this in his stomping ground (whenever he comes to MO, I don't think he even has a home in MO anymore/or did, so I wonder how in the world is he a MO resident to run for the Senate? I never did hear the final answer on this issue.

I know that some had wanted Claire McCaskill to run again for her Senate seat, but she's indicated in the past that she was done w/ public service. Maybe she's changed her mind?

She a commentator now, seems happy.

Missouri, you must be proud with your hard right turn.

You call yourself the show me state. . .well, you were just shown what a jerk Hawley is.

Just an introduction to what is in store for the enablers come September.

I think that the committee has decided that it doesn't matter if they appear to be partizan anymore, because it's obvious that this goes beyond that, and so they have decided to just go for it until they can't anymore.

I'm hoping we win super majorities in both houses and make some swift changes as soon as they are seated.

The Committee has done a stellar job and we know that people are watching. And the fact that it's been Republicans testifying has got to be a wake up call for any Republicans who tune in. And I use the term "Republican" loosely - Republicans throughout history, and I'm including Nixon and Reagan, were nothing like the TFG supporters of today.

And nothing about the voters or our beleaguered democracy. When someone shows themself to be an opportunistic weasel, we should believe them.
