After Trump began to strongarm GOP officials in the states to overturn the election, populist hero Josh Hawley (R-Mo) told the AP, “I don’t really have concerns with him talking about the situation with elected officials.”
Asked if Trump could overturn the election, Hawley was noncommittal:
“Anything’s possible.”
That isn’t noncommittal. It is saying that if Trump had been able to pull it off he would have backed the play without a second thought. As would all the rest of them. They kept their powder dry so they could add it to the bomb Trump was building to blow up the country.
And by the way, this alleged populist Hawley really is too much. If any of you are ready to embrace his phony “Bernie-esque” persona, think again:
Add Marco Rubio to this cadre of unctuous frauds and bullshit artists:
Sadly, I fully expect a certain number of lefties to eagerly buy into these cynical ploys. There’s something about this combination of racist nationalism combined with “salt-o-the-earth” Real American rejection of liberalism that hits right at the sweet spot between left and right.
