Josh Hawley finally finds an insurrection he wants to investigate

No, silly, not that insurrection. The real insurrection—the protests in Los Angeles. Taking his talking points straight from President Donald Trump, Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri is going to blow this whole criminal conspiracy wide open.

Hawley has sent letters to at least two groups he alleges are funding the protests in LA. They are based on the same tired GOP self-soothing delusion: left-wing demonstrations are not spontaneous or authentic but are instead paid puppets funded by shadowy dark money masters.

In other words, George Soros.

Not to diminish how bad it is that the president is running around saying exactly what Hawley is insinuating here, but a senator sending letters to activist groups demanding donor lists feels just a touch … McCarthy-ish.

BLAME YOUR ENEMY FOR WHAT YOU DO

Interesting “The President is RUNNING AROUND” in a story about track star Josh Hawley.

More than a touch McCarthy-ish. Hey Josharrella it’s just Citizens United. You’ve already proven you can’t handle intimidation so stop pretending to be manly to impress a rapist.

money masters...


They always presume we are doing the same things that they do.


However, there is nothing illegal about funding peaceful protests,
even if it is George Soros doing it...
