The committee put a spotlight on how lawmakers of both parties had to be evacuated and were afraid as the mob swarmed the Capitol. It showed a picture of Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri thrusting his fist in the air in support of the protesters when they had assembled at the building's gates.

A Capitol Police officer told the panel how the gestured "riled up the crowd" even more. Then the committee showed a video of Hawley, later that day, running through the Capitol to escape the mob when they breached the building.

  1. If January 6th was just a tourist visit then what was he running away from?? What an odd response to a tourist trip.

  2. If you look up “pretender” “gutless” and “infantile” in the dictionary, there’s a picture of Hawley.

  3. ESPN: “Hello, may I help you?”
    Sen Hawley: “Does ESPN sponsor the Chickensqwat Games?”
    ESPN: “Not familiar. What are they?”
    Hawley: “It’s a competition where GOP legislators do a chicken run, while wetting themselves, creating the illusion of barn animals running from a coyote.”
    ESPN: “”Um, no. Have you tried FOX? They highlight cowards running from the truth every night.”
    Hawley: “I called Tucky Carlson, but he says Murdoch will only do it if I show my skid marks.”
    ESPN: “Well, you can try NewsMax. I hear Kevin McCarthy just got a deal for ““Places to Hide in the Capitol.”

  4. If you are a passionate Republican, just know that this guy is representing your party, together with Cancun Cruz and Mitch the turtle 🐢

  5. A coward baby Hawley played bravery by raising his fist, the running wetting his diaper after seeing the mobs he supported.
