WASHINGTON — There was a brief moment after the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, one year ago, when the Republican political establishment was outraged.
Many directed their anger toward Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, the first senator to say he would object to certifying a state’s 2020 ballots. He was perceived by some to have encouraged the protesters and the false narrative that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 elections.
Within a week, Hallmark asked for campaign contributions back from Hawley and Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall, who also objected. Neither gave the money back.
