Editorial Calls For Investigation Of Cruz And Hawley
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch doesn't sugarcoat it.
By John Amato — November 29, 2021


The editorial board of one of the largest papers in Missouri called for the investigation of Senator Josh Hawley and Texas Senator Ted Cruz over their illicit actions during the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

Cruz and Hawley were the only two Senators to object to the election results. Both Senators did this even after the Capitol was ransacked by seditious Trump supporters.

Hawley was the one who objected first to certification which then whipped up the mob and forced a floor vote.

The editorial does not hold back:

Jan. 6 wasn’t a fantasy; it was real, and the culpability of these two senators must be determined.

Hawley and Cruz were the only two senators to object to certification of Joe Biden’s clear victory in the 2020 election results, citing (with zero evidence) supposed concerns about the election’s integrity. That was the same baseless, toxic nonsense then-President Donald Trump had been spewing since before the election. Such talk whipped up the mob of Trump loyalists to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Both Senators are now claiming they are the victims and make-believe they were doing their elected duty, but we know it was to gain political capital from the sickest citizens in this country.

And it was those sick people that assaulted the hub of US democracy.

Hawley and Cruz have the right to defend themselves from the allegations — but so far, they haven’t even had to. The Ethics Committee should stop sitting on this.

It's high time the U.S. Senate Ethics Panel subpoenas these creeps.

2. Kick this high and deep.

[calimary]

16. By all means!

[bucolic_frolic]

3. We're way past the UNITY GQP were trying to sell in February

The ugly truth is leaking out drip by drip, week by week. The pattern is evident to all but the most partisan. We can do this, and if you're unhappy with the pace, remember investigations finish strong when all the t's and i's are crossed and dotted.

22. Agree. I just hope they conclude before the gop take the House next year

4. K&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[2naSalit]

5. K&R

[bronxiteforever]

6. Kick and recommend.

[ffr]

7. If anyone of us were on the ethics committee, the invistigations would have been completed and

more than just these two turds in the punch bowl would have been arrested.

[sarchasm]

8. KnR!!

[msfiddlestix]

9. Couldn't agree more with this Editorial

and OP remarks.

10. As Members of the Senate, they have the right to object to the certifications.

They may have done a lot of other shit that day and the days leading up, but I don’t think you can go after them for their objection. If so, a lot of Democrats who have objected to States in the past would be guilty too.

11. what abot tmg and boebert brat.?

[AllaN01Bear]

12. all those senate and house rs who signed on to the lawsuit by the

az attorney general as well should be investigated.

[calimary]

17. Yep.

[Kid Berwyn]

13. Then kick them out of the Senate.

Help pass all sorts of needed legislation.

[Jakes Progress]

14. This will not deter anyone who is

stupid, mean, or nasty enough to vote for republicans from voting for either of these slimes.

[Paladin]

15. Take. Them. OUT. (nt)

[marieo1]

18. Disgusting pieces of humanity

Cruz and Hawley should have been prosecuted a long time ago.That is the main problem this country has is, it will not prosecute criminals if they have money. Then they can buy their way out of any prosecution. Our court system needs a complete overhaul. People should NOT be able to get off on crimes they've committed because they have money.
