Josh Hawley had all the ingredients needed to be the future of the Republican party. He is young and telegenic. He had an impressive background, with a law degree from Yale University. Hawley has proven, though, that he will do anything to obtain power.

The Hawaii Democrat began, “So, what Senator Hawley wants is to go through his litany of criticisms of the Biden administration, and the truth is that every senator has that right without blocking the logistics guy from the Department of Defense. He could’ve brought his floor charts out here and given a withering speech about all of the things he thought went wrong.”
Schatz continued:
“And this comes from a guy who raised his fist in solidarity with the insurrectionists. And this comes from a guy who, before the Russian invasion, suggested that maybe it would be wise for Zelensky to make a few concessions about Ukraine and their willingness to join NATO. This comes from a guy who just about a month ago voted against Ukraine aid! He’s saying it’s going too slow. He voted ‘no!’ He voted ‘no’ on Ukraine aid and now he has the gall to say it’s going too slow!”

The senator closed, “And coming from a person who exonerated Donald Trump for extorting Zelensky for withholding lethal aid? They withheld lethal aid until, unless Zelensky would release false smears against Joe Biden’s son. And then he voted to exonerate President Trump for this. And so spare me the new solidarity with the Ukrainians and with the free world because this man’s record is exactly the opposite.”
