WASHINGTON — The U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol showed a video Thursday night of U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley fleeing the Senate chamber that spread rapidly through the internet, was set to theme music and mocked on late night television.
Missouri’s junior senator used it the same way he’s used all of his actions surrounding the insurrection — as an opportunity to raise money for his campaign.
On Friday morning, the Missouri Republican tweeted a link to his campaign website, which is selling a white coffee mug with an illustration of Hawley holding his fist up to protesters who later stormed the U.S. Capitol over the words “Show Me Strong.”
