What the same Josh Hawley wrote:
Hawley warned against depicting all militia members as domestic terrorists after the Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people, including 19 children. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, who carried out the attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, had ties to the Michigan Militia.
Many of the people populating these movements are not radical, right-wing, pro-assault weapons freaks as they were originally stereotyped, Hawley wrote two months after the bombing.
Dismissed by the media and treated with disdain by their elected leaders, these citizens come together and form groups that often draw more media fire as anti-government hate gatherings, Hawley said.
Feeling alienated from their government and the rest of society, they often become disenchanted and slip into talks of conspiracy theories about how the federal government is out to get them.
In this politically correct society, derogatory labels such as racist are widely misused, and our ability to have open debate is eroding, he wrote.

On top of his abject hypocrisy.
Hawley must resign.

I dont know if there has ever been a bigger fraud then him, but if there was it is a close contest.
Oh, and he is also a Nazi.

(8,908 posts)7. Guess Hawley really didn't want to get out
like so many other of the 80% of Americans that said they wanted to get out but never once stopped to consider what getting out meant.
