This is an ongoing personal vendetta against Trump. Has gone for four years. The President will be leaving office in a few days. It is time to drop the personal attacks and get back to the business of running our country.

Sandie Cope

Congress continues to tear this country apart! It needs to stop!

Will Mason

A conviction will accomplish nothing but will create even more division. Is is pure vindictiveness and pointless.

Charlene Coe-gilmore

There has been no time for getting the facts. FBI reports knowledge of threats of violence before Trump's speech and nothing was done...WHY??? Another political vs constitutional based action.

Because is just adding fuel to the flame and there is no evidence of wide spread fraud!! I am personally disgusted with Republicans period!

Ed Merzlak

In my opinion, Hawley is guilty of sedition, publicly raising his fist in support of the rioters. Remember, 5 people lost their lives. Censure does not remove him from office, he retains his title, stature, and power to vote. He is an embarrasment to the people of Missouri and he must be removed.

Travis Follett

He knows there was no fraud. He's just using the situation to ingratiate himself to trump's base. He helped pour fuel on that fire.

Sheila Plummer

Absolutely! This Missouri resident is embarrassed by his non-representation of a majority of his fellow Missourians.

dglobetrotter

He is not following the constitution, and spreads lies.

Crystal Long

He helped with the riot on the capital he should resign

R Talbott

I believe he acted without consideration of common good, and acted in what he thought might increase his position for future political opportunities. Might have back fired. He should be censured by Congress.

Audrey Shewmaker

He did encourage rioters. And he should be disciplined.

Jennifer Tiff

He knows there was no voter fraud. He knows Trump was lying and he backed it. He tried to take away our democracy and replace it with a dictatorship. I think Gobbels was a great comparison to Hawleys behavior in this attempted government coupe.

Nina Ogle

The courts decided there was no election fraud and he knows this. He is not upholding his oath to support the Constitution.

Cecil Schick

He is now a trumplican and not a true Republican. He says he was speaking for the millions I think that's just what the election and all the recounts did. Your just a trumppet a puppet for the slime ball trump!

Dennis Gravedoni Sr.

And because he used the riots for a fund raising event, even while the capital was under siege.

It is absolutely his right to question the results an election with so many obvious irregularities - just doing the job he was elected to do!!!

Eric Endsley

He is representing Missouri majority of people.

Vernon Taylor

So the same ones who complain about overturning an election - now want to - because he's got the haters scared.

Mary Jane Thomson Jackson

Sen. Hawley was doing his job, as we all know there was fraud in this election.

Derek Burks

Its no different than when democrats did the same thing in 3 elections since 2000. If they see tom foolery. They are obligated by law to report it.

stacy Hospital

He is a great guy and is for the people! He believes that there was a problem with voter fraud as 80 million Americans do !! People should leave him alone !!!

David Apel

What he did was totally constitutional and Pelosi did it in 2009,

Johnie Brauer

He is doing his job by representing his constituents. I totally agree with him and very proud of him!! We need more like him!!

Bill Whisenand

Because he was within his legal right to do it.

Will Mason

Asking to look at the election did not incite violence. 4 yeats of leftist lies did.

Marijuana is a natural herb that is prescribed in over 200 countries as treatment of serious ailments. The current law is an archaic law that is rooted in some reprehensible undertones. It is not in anyway a gateway drug. It has so many healing qualities.
