Seditionist Nut Case Josh Hawley files ethics counter-complaint against seven Dem senators

[634-5789]

Sen. Josh Hawley on Monday filed a counter-complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee against the seven Senate Democrats who had previously filed a complaint against him and Sen. Ted Cruz over the two Republicans’ objections to the results of the 2020 presidential election.

“The idea that one Senator who disagrees with another Senator can therefore have that Senator punished, sanctioned, censured, or removed is utterly antithetical to our democracy and the very idea of open, lawful debate,” Hawley (R-Mo.) wrote in a letter to the seven Democrats.

Hawley’s counter-complaint comes after Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) — joined by Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) — wrote to the Ethics committee last Thursday requesting an investigation of Hawley and Cruz (R-Texas), who led Republican efforts in the Senate to challenge President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.

1. He's especially obtuse...

“The idea that one Senator who disagrees with another Senator can therefore have that Senator punished, sanctioned, censured, or removed is utterly antithetical to our democracy and the very idea of open, lawful debate,” Hawley (R-Mo.) wrote

The idea that one senator would lie repeatedly about the election to gin up anger among the rubes who backed a loser and incite them to insurrection in an attempted yet failed Coup d'etat would not be punished, sanctioned, censured, AND removed is utterly antithetical to our democracy.


There. FIxed it for you, you seditionist piece of shit.
