KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In an exclusive interview with 41 Action News, Missouri Senate candidate Josh Hawley denied a recent Kansas City Star report about campaign consultants working with Hawley's official staff.

In an interview with 41 Action News reporter Steven Dial on Friday, Hawley said, "That is one of the most absurdly, false stories that I have ever read. It is absolutely false, I am proud of the work I have done as Attorney General, I am proud of the accomplishments in that office. We have 100 criminal convictions at the trial court level, defended hundreds on appeal, returned over 30 million dollars in consumer protection fraud money we got back to consumers."

Hawley later said, "Nobody ran that office but me. I am responsible for everything that has happened in that office, just like she is responsible, Sen. McCaskill for every vote she has taken in the Senate."

On Friday, Mike Fannin, the Editor and Vice President of the Kansas City Star told 41 Action News the paper has documents and stands by its reporting. He went on to say, "the sourcing we have is unimpeachable and it is documented."

1. Republicans lie. It's the only way they can convince voters to vote for them.

3. The more emphatic their dive into the thesaurus of adjectives, the more positive I am of their guilt

4. I wouldn't be surprised. Ask Hawley's office about the TAMKO lawsuit and what happened w/ this?

Additional:

Yeah, really, you did everything. My goodness, you're god walking on Earth! You have been in that AG office for almost 1 year, not even a full year! How much of this stuff was already started and acted on before your arrival?
You already had a consultant in this office pretty well by the time you were elected into this office, so being the hypocrite that you are, you had already had this consultant (by the way, the KC Star is a good paper, I recall it from the time I lived in Indep., MO) lined up to basically hole up in your office, and do what, eh?

Look at everything you did for the optics of it, so it wouldn't come back to bite you? That instead of doing things for the voters of MO, you did things based on future political optics for the senate seat.

Traitor to MO values. You don't deserve Claire's senate seat, NOR do you deserve the AG office either.
