Major Missouri Paper Demands Senate Investigate Cruz And Hawley For Their Roles In “Sparking” Capitol Riot

From the editorial board of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

Ten months after a group of Senate Democrats lodged ethics complaints into the conduct of Republican Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Ted Cruz of Texas regarding their roles in sparking the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the Senate Ethics Committee has shown no sign of movement.

Both senators tell Politico they haven’t even been contacted by the committee. Jan. 6 wasn’t a fantasy; it was real, and the culpability of these two senators must be determined.

Hawley even had the nerve to give a glowering Senate floor speech later that night condemning the violence — an arsonist standing among the ashes. Hawley and Cruz have the right to defend themselves from the allegations — but so far, they haven’t even had to. The Ethics Committee should stop sitting on this.

Read the full editorial. Whoa.

“Hawley was the first senator to object to certification, which is the only reason there had to be a floor vote on the issue. That vote provided the rallying point for the mob. Without that, the attack might not have even happened”. https://t.co/G7Z0e2f8RA
