… ’cause, yeah, you invite someone to do a *live* unedited interview because that’s an example of canceling someone. Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley needs to find a less idiotic way to whine.
Hawley: “Don’t try to censor, cancel or silence me here.”
Cat Zakrzewski of the Washington Post “Senator, we’re hosting you here.”
Also during this interview, Hawley defending raising his fist to a crowd of election conspiracy theorists who would later undertake a domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol, casting a conspiracy theory of his own that none of the people at Trump’s Stop the Steal rally participated in the insurrectionist attack. (FACT CHECK: they did.)
“I don’t know which of those demonstrators, if any of them, participated in the criminal riot, and I think it’s a slur on the thousands and thousands–tens of thousands–of people who came to the Capitol that day to demonstrate peacefully.”
Additional FACT CHECK: If the so-called “peaceful” people were on the grounds of the Capitol on January 6th, they were breaking the law and trespassing. The Capitol was in lock down, with barricades around it.
