Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley offered pro-Trump demonstrators who stood outside the Capitol a raised fist salute as he walked into the Senate early on Wednesday, buoyant about his leading role in objecting to President Donald Trump's electoral defeat.

Mere hours later, some of those same Trump supporters would be marauding through the Capitol in a violent scene that will now be forever tied with the senator's attempt to overturn a free and fair election.

Hawley is now a pariah among many of his colleagues, openly derided and mocked in his home state and a source of shame for longtime political supporters who helped propel him to his position.

"Sen. Hawley was doing something that was really dumbass and I've been really clear about that in public and in private since long before the announcement he was going to do this," Republican Sen. Ben Sasse told NPR on Friday. "It was a stunt, and it was a terrible, terrible idea, and you don't lie to the American people. ... Lies have consequences."

Cruz almost lost to a democrat, in Texas.

He'd be thoroughly embarrased on the national stage.

Do you have any actual sources TC? Because he was always mocked in his home state along the I-70 corridor, but he's also the natural person to inherit Trump's cult at this point and there has been zero evidence that a republican has ever actually faced consequences for their actions.

He's a Trump slurping chud. He never will.

Their reality is made up. Imaginary. Like the boogeyman and unicorns.

When the person instrumental to getting you where you are is saying you were a mistake, you fucked up.

Hawley royally fucked up, and not one second of his existence should go without Wednesday being hanged over his head.
