Josh Hawley
Slate Magazine's Rebecca Onion offers a critical and scathing assessment of the Josh Hawley's book "Manhood."
"Manhood builds on Hawley’s previous tries to become a figure of national relevance: a 2021 keynote on boyhood that the senator gave to the National Conservatism Conference; his boring Christian lifestyle podcast This is Living, which he co-hosted with his wife, Erin; and his last book, an argument against Big Tech..........Like almost everything Hawley does, the book is an epic disaster............Why did a man who is probably our leading national pipsqueak decide that promoting manliness was his ticket to political power?.......This culture-warrior perspective on manhood is so bizarre to read, knowing Hawley’s political indebtedness to the consumerist, gimme-gimme, consequences-be-damned MAGA vibe that currently dominates the Republican Party..........You will not be surprised to hear that Josh Hawley wants to claim true 'manhood' — a state embodied, for him, by the Biblical archetypes of husband, father, warrior, builder, priest, and king, each of which get a chapter in the second part of this book — as the province only of the right-wing."
I cant add anything to that. It's a perfect review.

Dec 7, 2022: The Hill: GOP smells blood with wounded Trump
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) also said Trump’s recent stumbles could very well encourage Republican rivals to view him as eminently beatable in the 2024 primary.
“I’m sure half the Senate [is] actively considering it,” he quipped of colleagues weighing potential White House runs.

Nov 24, 2022: Down With Tyranny: Karl Rove v Josh Hawley-- And Rove Has Reality On His Side
This morning in his Wall Street Journal column, Karl Rove wrote that crackpot Missouri senator, Josh Hawley— who is up for reelection/defeat— in 2024, offered “a novel explanation for the GOP’s disappointing midterm… The problem, he writes, wasn’t candidate quality but substance: “The old Republican Party is dead.” Because too few candidates backed a Trumpian agenda of protectionism, less legal immigration, a crackdown on Big Tech and an end to tax cuts, ‘the red wave didn’t land.’ Working people who support the Trump agenda “chose to stay home.” |

July 22, 2022: CBS News: Josh Hawley video, Trump's outtakes and Secret Service farewells: Top moments from the eighth Jan. 6 public hearing
In each of the public hearings held by the House select committee investigating Jan. 6, a few standout moments have captured the public's attention. Thursday's prime-time hearing was no different, with a clip of Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley immediately taking over social media. While previous hearings explored the rioters, Trump's speech at the Ellipse preceding the riot, and other aspects of his actions after the November 2020 election, the eighth hearing held this summer focused on the 187 minutes of then-President Donald Trump's inaction while rioters descended on the Capitol. Committee vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney said there could be more hearings this fall. |

It is one that has attracted an imitator. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is vowing to block all national security nominees over the Biden administration’s handling of Afghanistan, insisting he will not budge until Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III and Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, resign.

Sept 15, 2021:
The usual suspects of the GOP (Hawley, Gaetz, Taylor Greene, Rubio etc) are saying General Milley should be fired but overlook the negligent actions of Trump which lead to Milley's actions. I stand with General Milley on this one. If Trump says "I didn't"...it means he did. Proven 99.9% of the time.

Jan 11, 2021: In multiple speeches, an interview and a widely shared article for Christianity Today, Mr. Hawley has explained that the blame for society’s ills traces all the way back to Pelagius — a British-born monk who lived 17 centuries ago. In a 2019 commencement address at The King’s College, a small conservative Christian college devoted to “a biblical worldview,” Mr. Hawley denounced Pelagius for teaching that human beings have the freedom to choose how they live their lives and that grace comes to those who do good things, as opposed to those who believe the right doctrines............As for Trump himself, however, Hawley is an unapologetic supporter. He says that insofar as the president’s rhetoric is focused on voters’ fears—mirroring Hawley’s own speeches about media censorship and the menace of cosmopolitan elites—“you have to acknowledge where people are,” including their anger and anxiety. He waved away the insults that freely flow from Trump’s Twitter feed about “crazy” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or “shifty” Adam Schiff, the California congressman leading the impeachment hearings. “The president [is] commenting in an adversarial way on people who are trying to remove him from office,” Hawley said. His behavior “is both understandable and doesn’t necessarily say anything more, I think, about broader policies, issues, vision.” The impeachment process has been “clownish” and “reeks of politics,” he said, and he doesn’t think any information about the president’s conduct that has come out so far is “remotely impeachable.” He wants Trump elected to a second term in 2020, and believes it will happen.
