    Don’t hate me… Did Hawley just grow up in the wrong place?

    He always ends up in the reasonable end of some of this shit, except he has to do it under the guise of his firebrand bigoted bullshit.

    Someone tell me what opinions I’m supposed to form about this guy

      I think most of the crazy lawmakers are not actually crazy. You probably need to be quite intelligent to make it through all the hoops to get elected to congress. It’s an act that they know gets them attention on social media, but on issues that aren’t partisan they can actually act like adults

      Hawley happens to be reasonable on some issues that have bipartisan support. He’s a true asshat on social issues.
