  1. > The editorial board wrote that Hawley had a “singular role in spurring the violence” on Jan. 6. According to the board, Hawley was “the first and initially only senator to announce his baseless challenge of the election results, setting in motion the grotesque events that followed.”

  2. What does “local” mean in this context? He doesn’t live in the state where he is Senator.

  3. That’s probably correct, but I think the newspaper should at least acknowledge that Tommy Tuberville has given Hawley a real challenge for the title.

  4. Ten bucks he mentally ran away from this headline the way he physically ran away from the Jan 6 mob he helped facilitate.

    Spineless coward.

    Why? Was Ted Cruz standing up at the time?

    Rand Paul’s also got to be in the running. Oh, and Lindsay Graham.

    Oh, come on now. How are they going to narrow it down to just one over all the other terrible behavior they’re putting into practice? Worse than Tommy Tuberville? Krysten Sinema? Mitch McConnell?

    He lives in Virginia, so I’m not quite sure why Missouri Republicans choose him to represent them in Congress.

  8. Oh, the competition for worst sitting senator is a tight one. So many republicans to choose from.

    That’s just proximity bias. There are so many terrible Senators to pick from.

    Ted Cruz, anyone?
