Got to love Josh Hawley.

Especially loved him running through the capitol on Jan 6th.
You mean the highly edited tape by the Jan. 6th Commission intended to embarrass a major Democrat critic? The full tape showed a large group of Congressmen being ushered away by security and Hawley running to catch up to them. Many reasons why the Jan 6th Commission didn't want the security footage released by McCarthy.
Original cut the Democrats played:
Reality:
Fred's Myth
Nonhyphenated American
Don’t you feel especially stupid now that your comment was so overwhelmingly discredited?

Discredited how? Clearly he was running through the capitol.
Fred's Myth
Nonhyphenated American
Clearly your intent was to discredit and humiliate.
Come on now. We both loved seeing Josh Hawley run like a coward after having raised his fist toward Trump supporters outside earlier that day. I had fun with it too until the full video came out in Q1 last year.
Josh Hawley seen fleeing pro-Trump mob he ‘riled up’ with fist salute in newly released Jan. 6 footage
Video of the Missouri Republican running away from the rioters elicited a burst of laughter in the congressional hearing room.
www.nbcnews.com
"Sen. Josh Hawley, the Missouri Republican who raised his fist in solidarity with a crowd of Trump supporters outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, was forced to flee the rioters in new footage presented Thursday night by the House Jan. 6 committee in a televised hearing.
Hawley can be seen running through a hallway in the Capitol and then quickly making his way down a staircase with colleagues. The video, which lit up social media shortly after it was aired, was taken just hours after the senator was photographed saluting protesters massing at security gates near the building."
"Footage of Hawley fleeing during the riot drew bursts of laughter in the committee hearing room.
It also touched off a flood of memes on social media, including a tweet by former Democratic Sen. Al Franken showing Hawley running back and forth to the theme song of the "The Benny Hill Show." The Lincoln Project, meanwhile, used the theme song from the running movie "Chariots of Fire" and "Eye of the Tiger" from "Rocky III." And in classic Twitter fashion, several peoplesoundtracked the clip using the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" theme song.
It also led to outright mockery, with Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., referring to Hawley as "Fistpump McRunpants" and Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison tweeting out footage of Tom Hanks running in the movie "Forrest Gump." "Where is Josh Hawley this morning? #StillRunning," Harrison wrote."
And of course rather than focus on the fact that government bureaucrats were meeting off the books with a climate extremist group funded by a foreign billionaire (and doing their bidding) you chose to attack the guy who brought it to everyone's attention. You should stick to attacking priests.

Josh Hawley gets money from Teamsters union, rare windfall for GOP candidate
In Axios report, Missouri’s senior GOP senator — who has courted organized labor recently — picked up $5,000 from Teamsters’ political action committee.
It's not completely his fault. MSNBC hasn't mentioned the full video once since it was released 14 months ago.
Morning Joe viewers don't tend to seek out many alternative perspectives and Joe and Mika weren't about to start talking about the full video after Tucker dragged it out.

Seems like an unlikely friend of labor to me
Just like years of telling us Trump colluded with Russians then they dropped it like a hot rock after the Mueller Report came out.
The Teamsters realize that good governance is in everyone's best interests after 3+ years of Biden.
