Josh Hawley should maybe probably stay off Twitter today
Mike Pence’s security team were genuinely fearful of the threat to their lives during the attack on the Capitol.Someone else seemingly fearful was Missouri Republican senator Josh Hawley.
Earlier on the 6th, outside the Capitol building, Hawley had been caught on video raising a fist to the gathering protestors.
Later on, as they began to invade the building, security footage showed Hawley running through a corridor to find safety.The footage was introduced by Virginia Democrat Elaine Luria.She said: “Senator Josh Hawley also had to flee.“Earlier that afternoon before the joint session [of Congress] started, he walked along the east front of the Capitol.“As you can see in this photo, he raised his fist in solidarity with protesters already amassing at the security gates.”Many of those assembled at the hearing audibly laughed as the footage was played.Immediate reaction to the vid: pic.twitter.com/XAv4jc2tjr— Dan Przygoda (@dprzygoda) July 22, 2022Related: Josh Hawley wants to force women to have babies and make adoption easier… just not for gay peopleThe video quickly went viral on social media, with many mocking Hawley.Josh Hawley ran faster than Forrest Gump.— Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) July 22, 2022One particularly popular Twitter thread added a variety of soundtracks to the footage.
