Jan. 6 Video Shows Sen. Josh Hawley Fleeing Rioters

July 22, 2022 Republicans, Trump cultists

The Insider reports:

Twitter users had a field day with Sen. Josh Hawley’s cameo role during Thursday’s January 6 committee hearing.

The committee showed the now-infamous photo of the Missouri Republican raising his fist in solidarity with protesters gathered outside security gates as he walked across the East front of the US Capitol from a safe space behind barriers.

Then, they showed a video of Hawley running away after the protesters he helped rile stormed the US Capitol. That’s when the chicken, Forrest Gump and running gifs, including some set to music, fired up Twitter.

I talked to former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone outside the #Jan6thHearings.
Here is his response to seeing video of Sen. Josh Hawley running away from rioters after fist bumping them earlier in the day on Jan. 6 :

“Josh Hawley is a bitch”, said Fanone. https://t.co/qgCPHcVh1r pic.twitter.com/rTJoJywgY3
