I voted for him for the simple reason he was standing up to Trump before the election and Trump started calling him "little Ben Sasse."I've liked him ever since I heard him as a guest on "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" a few years ago.But I've been disappointed that he hasn't been more outspoken in his opposition to Trump. Brilliant, likable guy, though. I hope he'll have a strong future for the Republicans.
I have not been disappointed.
I think that is a direct result of today's actions. Trumpism may have imploded as a national presence - going back to pockets of disgruntled citizens no longer unified, and no longer politically relevant.

The house is back, ready to certify Arizona. Then I guess it’s on to Arkansas? I can’t believe the idiots are going to object and demand break outs for all the swing states where they lost all their lawsuits.

The house could use a good vacuuming.
ETA Love you BB just reacting like a dad that hasn't been bored in 4 decades.

She was duped by a conspiracy theory and she was shot through the neck while apparently unarmed. I get it, she was charging and breaking in and I think that "common sense 101" tells you that you don't break into the capital building........but it's still sad.

Now the pearl clutching starts...these individuals don’t get any credit at this point. They enabled him and are responsible.

The talking point is, yes those people who broke in to the Capitol aren't patriots but the real thing we should be discussing is why did all these people show up to D.C. today? He and Tucker both asked that almost verbatim.
The answer is obviously because a madman spent the last 4 years lying to them and convinced them to give their money to a supposed billionaire and to try and help overturn an election......but they ignored that answer.

I usually can take this guy on chaotic days for hate watching. Weird part of me like to see how stuff like this gets spun.
Can't do it today.

I feel that way about all of the Republicans who didn't oppose Trump before today. FOX too. The list of people who helped get us here today is long, and it's been a long time coming. Probably starting with Newt in it's modern incarnation.

His mask bothers me. Not that he's wearing one but that it looks like he has it on sideways.

Hawley doesn't deserve to talk - he didn't call for violence but he instigated the nuts who did.

Poor girl thought her president was playing 4d chess and died thinking it was all finally happening. In reality, he had no plan and was just watching it on TV while eating cheetos.

Did Hawley just say “irregardless”? Should be an auto DQ if so.
He spent weeks telling people the election was rigged and brought in witnesses. And then admitted the people he puts on his show are not vetted.

Per CNN (emphasis added to match the headline):
The Kansas City Star writes:
"No one other than President Donald Trump himself is more responsible for Wednesday’s coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol than one Joshua David Hawley, the 41-year-old junior senator from Missouri, who put out a fundraising appeal while the siege was underway. This, Sen. Hawley, is what law-breaking and destruction look like. This is what mobs do. This is not a protest, but a riot. One woman was shot and has died, The Washington Post reported, while lawmakers were sheltering in place. No longer can it be asked, as George Will did recently of Hawley, 'Has there ever been such a high ratio of ambition to accomplishment?' Hawley’s actions in the last week had such impact that he deserves an impressive share of the blame for the blood that’s been shed."

She was all in that’s for sure. Do we know why she was shot? Of all the people there doing all kinds of things, why her???

She was trying to climb into a barricaded window/door. There was a mob but she decided to spearhead the effort.
