Hee Haw Hawley flattened in brutal profanity-laced column for berating St. Louis reporter

A“smug” Sen. Josh Hawley was captured in leaked footage berating a journalist for criticizing Elon Musk in social media posts, Riverfront Times reports.

The senior Republican senator from Missouri is heard in the approximately three-minute video questioning KSDK political editor Mark Maxwell over his criticisms of the Tesla and Twitter and CEO, questioning the journalist’s sobriety and making an apparent veiled threat to the journalist over future access to the lawmakers.

Maxwell initially went along with what the Riverfront Times described as an “inquisition,” telling Hawley he was expressing frustration with the "Why all the hate for people who like free speech on Twitter? What's going on with that?" Hawley asked Maxwell during a pre-interview.

The article ran under the headline: “Leaked Footage Captures Josh Hawley Acting Like a Smug Asshole.”

The MSN article deleted the word asshole but it's an apt description and I doubt anyone here would be offended.
