Josh Hawley is a patrician posing as a populist

He lives in Virginia, but uses his sister’s address in Missouri for his voter registration, which speaks to his integrity. Hawley attended to Rockhurst High School, a private all boys Catholic high school in south Kansas City for the elite.

Scratch Hawley’s surface, and despite his elite degrees, there’s nothing of substance there.

Democrats are overdue to reclaim the narrative that we know will be weaponized by Republicans and the mainstream media once Biden is inaugurated and in office. Let’s be proactive.
