Josh Hawley had to ask about transgender athletes… and Israel? Huh?Hawley, who wrote a book this year allllll about his manhood, started his line of questioning by asking Baker about anti-Israel sentiments from some student organizations.Baker, a two-term Massachusetts governor and seemingly one of the few sane Republicans left in the country, was careful to not fall into the trap.
The quick-footed senator probably wanted to goad Baker into some sort of spirited exchange he could share on social media. Instead, Baker answered the question matter of factly, leaving no room for Hawley to slide in.Sen.
Josh Hawley (R-Mo) begins his line of questioning by asking NCAA president Charlie Baker about the anti-Israeli statements from several student groups across the organization.Baker says that any unprovoked attacks on innocent people should be condemned.Getting bested in rhetorical combat by the *head of the NCAA* is among the most embarrassing things (though obvs not at the top of the list) that this man will achieve in his entire career https://t.co/U3LfzlOK7d@yessitswes this senator is so patheticHmmm.
Does Josh know what the NCAA does? Our senators are so thirsty.Oh my God dude https://t.co/XpeGhRN7vQHere's another case where the Senate is asked to solve a problem but a Senator decides to create a problem instead.
