Internet Sickened: Josh Hawley Gets Standing Ovation at CPAC for ‘Objecting to the Certification’

There has never once been such an unbalanced relationship between accomplishment versus aspiration than Josh Hawley. Hawley and Cruz led the way in the U.S. Senate to objecting to President Biden’s certification, but when it comes to sheer cynical political calculation, Hawley is in a class by himself. One actually can envision a scenario where, if the Big Don is unavailable for the 2024 run, Hawley might be drafted over even the Trump spawn.

He is that big a jackass and that is saying something. He knows how to wield his hate better than all but a few.

Hawley ran for Attorney General in Missouri, promising that he would serve out a full term (everyone knew he had aspirations for the Senate seat), two years in he was running for the U.S. Senate. He has been in the U.S. Senate for two years and he sure looks like a man intent upon the presidency. At least, he perceives himself as presidential timber. And like Ted, Hawley is extremely smart, no matter how many times he says “irregardless” in Senate debates.

It says something about where the country stands that CPAC would even hold its annual circle thing this year, six weeks out from the insurrection and still very much amidst a COVID crisis. It says even more than they’d invite Donald Trump. But the bigger message is already 100% clear, they have no problem with what happened to get to this point. Josh Hawley has no problem with helping to incite an insurrection. He has no problem bragging about his objection because he knows that the people at CPAC believe he’s a hero for it. They have no problem giving him a standing ovation.

This is disgusting and the net let its feelings be known:

And the comments on what the clip:

Peace, y’all
