‘Traitor’ and ‘Fascist’ Senator Demands Resignations of Secretaries of Defense and State – Threatens to Block Noms


U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), best known as the “insurrectionist” who raised his fist high up in the air as he helped incite the January 6 attackers and rioters in front of the Capitol building, is demanding the resignations of President joe Biden’s Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense – and threatening to block confirmation of their desperately-needed national security nominees until they do.

“I will not consent to the nomination of any nominee for the Department of Defense or for the Department of State until Secretary Austin and Secretary Blinken and Jake Sullivan resign,” Hawley vowed on the floor of the Senate Tuesday. Sullivan is the United States National Security Advisor to President Biden.

Hawley’s threat exposes his desire to further hamper U.S. national security, as he did on January 6.

“Each of these departments remain gutted after the Trump administration,” the left-leaning super PAC Vote Vets said on social media, referring to the Departments of State and Defense. “They each need nominees quickly approved. Hawley’s grandstanding hurts our security. But what else do you expect from a traitor?”

1. Is his vote absolutely necessary?

[The Magistrate]

2. Gums Up The Works, Sir

He denies unanimous consent, so the whole floor vote process must be gone through.

[Journeyman]

16. Is it that the floor vote must be gone through, or can he gum up the whole process . . .

and keep the Senate from considering the nominee at all?

[Journeyman]

3. No, not for confirmation. But he can singlehandedly keep them from consideration . . .

and there's evidently nothing anyone can do about it.

Isn't Democracy less than grand when it gets distorted by such venal voices?

[UTUSN]

9. Yea, I missed the paragraph in Civics about how one Congresscritter could stop things.

[StarfishSaver]

17. Apparently, you did

Read the Standing Rules of the Senate. Go to Rule VII, Sections 2 and 3. You'll find it in there.

You're more than welcome.

[joetheman]

19. Maybe he'll get some jail time for Jan 6 and we can be done with him.?

Alternatively, couldn't Biden just use "acting heads." Most of Trump's term was run by "Acting" heads.

[Mr.Bill]

20. Jail time will not prevent him

from holding his office.

[underpants]

4. Gee I'd forgotten about him

and now look! He’s in the news.

[moondust]

5. Little fascist also want a pony?

I demand that HeeHawley resign and do some prison time for his complicity in the January 6 treason!

[LiberalFighter]

6. Find a manhole for him.

[SWBTATTReg]

7. Hawley's grandstanding hurts our national security...what else does anyone need to say,

regarding this POS traitor...

[rickyhall]

8. Didn't he have 200 sex abuse charges laid on him? He is a screwy little prick though.

[GoCubsGo]

15. No, you're thinking of Madison Cawthorne.

Whose actions Hawley would almost certainly defend--just as he defended Boof Douche Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. He also helped cover up sexual abuse by Catholic priests while AG of Missouri. He may not be an abuser (that we know of), but he is A-okay with abusers.

[BobTheSubgenius]

10. I know this kind of attitude is beneath what one hopes to find at DU, but...

...is there any chance his paralysis might spread? Any chance at all?

[Midnight Writer]

14. Naw, that is Cawthorne. Different dick.

[2Gingersnaps]

11. Isn't it way past time to Fourteenth Amendment him

for his complicity in the January 6 coup attempts?

[StarfishSaver]

18. Congress can't exercise that clause unilaterally

There would have to be a court finding of guilt or culpability before Congress could act.
