The Media Is Melting Down, They Freak Out After GOP Senator Announces He’s Contesting The Election
The media is losing its mind after Republican Senator Josh Hawley announced he is going to contest the Electoral College vote on January 6th.
CNN’s Jake Tapper claims that Republicans are only doing this to help their chances in 2024.
It was always just a question as to which one of the 2024 hopefuls was going to be first to sign up in any way for the president’s campaign to undermine confidence in the election and overturn the results. Cruz said he would argue the Tx AG case in SCOTUS, and here’s Hawley. https://t.co/32MYBUnJ0h

You could almost feel the anger coming from Tapper tweet by tweet.
2/ Election boards, judges, courts, the DOJ, DHS and other authorities have found zero evidence of election malfeasance that impacted President-elect Biden’s decisive win. The US Supreme Court has declined to intervene. The lawsuits have largely been a joke.

The media is literally losing their minds because they know it might work. Especially after Pennsylvania Legislators that audited the election found that there were more ballots than people that participated in the election.
Beyond any clear policy, the defining feature of Trumpism is an inability to feel shame or embarrassment. Hawley has learned that lesson well. https://t.co/7UXAIkN4on

The far-left host internet show the Young Turks were triggered.
Let me be super clear: @HawleyMO is a slimy, lying, sniveling politician. He’s smart enough to fake being a populist. But since he’s going to run for President in 2024, he now backs claim that @JoeBiden didn’t win the election, while knowing with absolute certainty that he did.

I dunno, I have this quaint notion that if you are trying to cancel votes and delegitimize an entire election you should maybe have some evidence before opening your mouth about it.

Meanwhile, Conservatives applauded Hawley’s bravery.
Josh Hawley is an American Hero.
That’s it. That’s the tweet.
