Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Josh Hawley" in English language version.
[Carlson said:] The surveillance footage we reviewed showed that famous clip [of Sen. Josh Hawley running from protesters who had breached the Capitol] was a sham, edited deceptively by the Jan. 6 committee. The clip was propaganda, not evidence. The actual videotape shows that Hawley was one of many lawmakers being ushered out of the building by Capitol Hill police officers. And, in fact, Hawley was at the back of the pack. The coward tape was a lie.
Hawley was treated like a pariah. Democrats filed an ethics complaint against him. There were calls for his resignation and censure. A year later, nothing has come from the ethics complaint and Hawley has neither resigned nor been censured.
politicians, comedians, journalists and Missourians shared their gut reactions to the footage, insights about Hawley and many memes.
A rare moment of humor in Thursday's House Select Committee hearing investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection featured Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley cheering on an angry mob that was about to storm the Capitol, then running for his life once safely inside the building.
Cruz, along with Cotton and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), have typically embodied their party's Reagan-era hawkishness, while Hawley veers toward an "America First" approach that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has described as isolationist.
Unlike Donald Trump, Hawley did not directly encourage the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol last Wednesday. But his move to muddy the legitimacy of the election undoubtedly fanned the flames.
Earlier this week, Hawley reframed Independence Day on Twitter as a great Christian event, quoting the founding father Patrick "Give me liberty, or give me death!" Henry as saying that America was founded "not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
Finland's and Sweden's requests have received widespread support from both Democrats and Republicans. But Hawley – who was one of the 11 conservatives who opposed the $40 billion Ukraine aid package Congress passed in May – insists the United States isn't prepared to go against both Moscow and Beijing.
He also revisited the clip of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) fleeing the Capitol, complaining it had been selectively edited, as Hawley was at the tail end of a group of senators who jogged out of the Senate chambers. When the Jan. 6 committee aired that clip in July, however, the purpose was to demonstrate that Hawley, too, rushed to leave the chamber to avoid a crowd that hours earlier he had greeted with a raised fist of solidarity.
Hawley—on Independence Day—pushed the line that the United States was "founded…on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." It really wasn't. The Constitution is a secular document that created a secular government. Thomas Jefferson—in an actual quote—wrote in 1802 that our First Amendment built "a wall of separation between church and state." In 1797, John Adams agreed: "The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."
While the videos drew laughter from the hearing's audience in real time, the internet was just getting started. Within minutes and then for hours, people mercilessly roasted Hawley.
