security gates. later that day, senator hawley fled after those protesters helped to rile up stormed the capitol. see for yourself. to be clear, on january the 6th, republican senator josh hawley authored the forthcoming book manhood, the masculine virtues america needs, ran away from the same mob, since the moment that was revealed by the select committee on thursday. he instantly became a laughing stock. let s look at the committee hearing and how they reacted. that clip went viral immediately, and trust me when i say the means have been just splendid, the washington post reported, holly may have in fact broken a guinness world record for starring in the most music videos in a single day. zoom is simply ruthless, laying spring steals born to run, running up that hill and entire playlist of songs over the video. my own favorite was brave, brave sir robin from monty python playing over the and running. believe it or not, holly did actually respond to the whole incid
against recognizing the results of the election. effectively seeking to overturn those results. and when he did so, that s what s open the floodgates. not only in the senate, but also in the house of representatives. so, john, some might say expelling him from the senate, as you argued, as i ve argued on the show in the past, it s too severe punishment? it s something that s only rarely been done in u.s. history, and others will say even if you want to do, with the democrats just don t have the votes. you need two thirds majority. what is your response? look, my response to those arguments is, we have a constitution in this country, which every member of the united states senate in the house representative, where there is an oath to uphold. the constitution has clear balance within, and suggests that when you engage in sedition, when you engage in support for an insurrection, you are supposed to be held to account. and it is absurd that the united states senate has not
done so. as regards, josh hawley and frankly, as regards other members who urged on, egged on an insurrection that led to the deaths of multiple people on january 6th, and has since led to deaths, and really, tremendously awful results for not just your individuals in the capital, but people across this country. and until you have accountability, or those members of the senate, and those members we won t really resolve the issues that occurred on january 6th. john, it s easy to laugh at josh hawley, and it s ridiculous to see him running from the mob being incited. and he laid it up masterfully on thursday. at the select committee hearing. let s talk big picture. what does josh hawley represent within the gop right now? he has pushed the pseudo-populist kind of nationalist conservative he s writing a book about manhood, masculinity.
twitter. this is what happens when there are no consequences for the enablers of insurrection. joining me now is john nichols, national affairs correspondent at the nation who made the case for expelling hawley from the senate just days after january 6th at the capitol. thanks for joining me on the show. john dan ford, the republican and a mentor to hawley, said 16 would not have happened without hawley s involvement. that s not hyperbole, is it? no, it s not. i covered the run up to january 6th, and i was watching a group of united states senators. who had been outspoken on these issues. very outspoken on trump s behalf. i was watching ron johnson from wisconsin very closely. as january six got closer, johnson backed off a bit. so too did ted cruz and others. and then josh hawley jumped forward. he signaled that he would vote
