Hawley to still object to Pennsylvania after Capitol breached

[brooklynite]

Source: The Hill

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is going forward with his plan to object to Pennsylvania's Electoral College results, even as many of the 14 GOP senators who had supported challenging the election results are backing down.

Hawley's plan guarantees that the Senate will have to vote on objections to at least two states, with the chamber currently debating a separate objection to Arizona's results.

"Senator Hawley spoke during the debate on the Arizona objection, but he will object to Pennsylvania once Congress returns to the joint session, and when the Senate and House go back to their chambers for the debate on Pennsylvania, he will yield his speaking time to move toward a vote," said Kelli Ford, a spokesperson for Hawley.

Even if Hawley yields his time, other senators will still be able to fill the two hours designated for the debate. The House would also have its own two-hour debate.

[Hoyt]

[dem4decades]

4. Maybe he needs more footage for his campaign money grabs.

[question everything]

5. Do we know anything about the 140 or so members of the House?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. A few have rescinded their objections. . . . nt

[still_one]

6. Hopefully he has just destroyed his career

[William Seger]

25. Hopefully this will destroy the entire Party of Trump

There will be areas where any (R) will win, but I predict that for most of the country, Republicans will need to decide if they want to lose because they stand with Trump's cult or they want to lose because they don't.

8. The GOP senators should be calling for his removal ASAP!

[onetexan]

31. Exactly. Expell the SOB &charge him w sedition &inciting violence.

[NoMoreRepugs]

9. "More ambition than common sense."

[beachbumbob]

10. Not sure why a point of order not raised.

[C_U_L8R]

11. Grandstanding dope.

Does he have any political sense at all? That maga bullshit is addictive but toxic.

[beachbumbob]

12. He actually wants to lead the trumpers, he can lie with best

[TigressDem]

13. LOCK HIM UP he is complicit in the COUP attempt if he continues.

DRAIN THE SWAMP.

[SergeStorms]

14. Does he still think this is going to help him?

I don't care where he went to College, he's as stupid as stupid can be. Go fuck yourself, Hawley. Enjoy your last term in the Senate.

[leftieNanner]

21. I don't know if she would want to do it,

But I'd love it if Claire came back and kicked his butt in 2024!!

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. His comments during the Arizona debate seemed to imply he wouldn't object further. Nt

[bullimiami]

16. Stubbornly going down with the rotted scow.

[dalton99a]

17. The scumbag sponsored the riot

[VA_Jill]

34. THIS

Right here ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sumbitch should be thrown out of the Senate.

[frazzled]

18. What is the point?

It will be voted down, and he apparently won’t speak. But the House will get 2 hours. Is this just to push the final voting until the middle of the night? As if it matters? The outcome is known by all anyway.

[BigmanPigman]

19. When he spoke he was looking directly at the news camera.

I didn't see any other senator do this. He is inciting this along with Cruz and both need to be removed.

[aggiesal]

22. I agree he stared right into the camera and doubled down on his objections ...

almost like a campaign speech.

[George II]

20. Who is his BFF on the "Democratic" side?

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Hawley is Trump II

same ego narcissist

[colsohlibgal]

24. Total Jerk

He wants to be President, a younger more polished version of Trump. But I think his raised fist approval of the right wing cretins breaking into the Capitol may haunt him and preclude that.

[American Welshman]

26. Hawley should be Hawled Off

With the key being "misplaced."

[sakabatou]

27. Hawley can go eat shit

[dhill926]

28. he has overplayed his hand...

he's done. Piece of shit...

[JohnnyRingo]

29. Maybe he thinks there's a veep position opening up.

You know, for Trump's second term.

[Kablooie]

30. He's Trump in training.

If he isn’t charged and convicted of sedition, which makes him inligible for public office, he will be the new spiritual leader of Trumps cult.

They will be looking for a new messiah after this is over.
