"That's not how this world works": Josh Hawley gets schooled on the Senate floor

Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, tore into Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., on Thursday for blocking the confirmation of a number of Defense Department staffers, accusing the conservative lawmaker of "damaging the department."

"This comes from a guy who raised his fist in solidarity with the [Capitol riot] insurrectionists," Schatz said during a fiery Senate floor speech. "This comes from a guy who, before the Russian invasion, suggested that maybe it would be wise for [Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy] to make a few concessions for Ukraine and their willingness to join NATO."

"[Hawley] voted 'no' on Ukraine aid, and now he has the gall to say it's going too slow," Schatz added.

Over the past several months, Hawley has repeatedly claimed that he will not back down from his crusade unless Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken resign from their postings.
