Because is just adding fuel to the flame and there is no evidence of wide spread fraud!! I am personally disgusted with Republicans period!

Ed Merzlak

In my opinion, Hawley is guilty of sedition, publicly raising his fist in support of the rioters. Remember, 5 people lost their lives. Censure does not remove him from office, he retains his title, stature, and power to vote. He is an embarrasment to the people of Missouri and he must be removed.

Travis Follett

He knows there was no fraud. He's just using the situation to ingratiate himself to trump's base. He helped pour fuel on that fire.

Sheila Plummer

Absolutely! This Missouri resident is embarrassed by his non-representation of a majority of his fellow Missourians.

dglobetrotter

He is not following the constitution, and spreads lies.

Crystal Long

He helped with the riot on the capital he should resign

R Talbott

I believe he acted without consideration of common good, and acted in what he thought might increase his position for future political opportunities. Might have back fired. He should be censured by Congress.

Audrey Shewmaker

He did encourage rioters. And he should be disciplined.

Jennifer Tiff

He knows there was no voter fraud. He knows Trump was lying and he backed it. He tried to take away our democracy and replace it with a dictatorship. I think Gobbels was a great comparison to Hawleys behavior in this attempted government coupe.

Nina Ogle

The courts decided there was no election fraud and he knows this. He is not upholding his oath to support the Constitution.

Cecil Schick

He is now a trumplican and not a true Republican. He says he was speaking for the millions I think that's just what the election and all the recounts did. Your just a trumppet a puppet for the slime ball trump!

Dennis Gravedoni Sr.

And because he used the riots for a fund raising event, even while the capital was under siege.

It is absolutely his right to question the results an election with so many obvious irregularities - just doing the job he was elected to do!!!

Eric Endsley

He is representing Missouri majority of people.

Vernon Taylor

So the same ones who complain about overturning an election - now want to - because he's got the haters scared.

Mary Jane Thomson Jackson

Sen. Hawley was doing his job, as we all know there was fraud in this election.

Derek Burks

Its no different than when democrats did the same thing in 3 elections since 2000. If they see tom foolery. They are obligated by law to report it.

stacy Hospital

He is a great guy and is for the people! He believes that there was a problem with voter fraud as 80 million Americans do !! People should leave him alone !!!

David Apel

What he did was totally constitutional and Pelosi did it in 2009,

Johnie Brauer

He is doing his job by representing his constituents. I totally agree with him and very proud of him!! We need more like him!!

Bill Whisenand

Because he was within his legal right to do it.

Will Mason

Asking to look at the election did not incite violence. 4 yeats of leftist lies did.

Why are the marines any different than any other branch of service that gets deployed in U.S. As a veteran- I have been deployed for things in U.S. over the years- it’s not just for protecting us in foreign countries Our oath of office says we will protect foreign and domestic

Thomas OSullivan

Newsom, Bass and Waters can't handle the situation. I believe the Marines should be a last resort but certainly an option on the table.

Eric Smith

Maxine Waters face alone should be a warning to the world that a darwinian subspecies has overtaken southern California

What do you do when a foreign body rises up on American soil. You make an example out of it. Never understood the waving of other countries flags in these situations. They are sending you back to the country you are so proud of. Im hoping they're treated like armed combatants.

Belinda Kitchen

Because someone needs to help cause obviously the government in California don't care . The president is doing all that he can to help . I say if ur illegal you need to leave either willingly or by forcing.

Max DeYoung

This is an insurrection, with guns and devastating fires. They should all be arrested and treated with same due process as the Jan 6th people.

Toasty

Would you be saying the same thing if Biden had deployed the Marines on Jan 6th? Even the National Guard seems a little over the top, but Newsom is 100% responsible for the chaos. He needs to be held accountable for not supporting ICE and the arrests of the criminals that broke into our country.

This is not an insurrection! The police set their own car on fire from what I heard. These protests were peaceful for the most part until Felon47 got involved. They did cause a lot of damage with the graffiti, but no one was injure bc of it. Maybe Felon47 should have sent 700 Maries like your post o

Fat Guy Outdoors

You heard they destroyed their own police cars. I would suggest you change the place where you get your lies from. They burned they're own cars. Wow. TDS is real.

Lisha Lammers

No, the Marines should NOT be deployed to States against their own people.

Toasty

Not that it may not be warranted, but sets a bad precedence when, not if, a real socialist tricks his/her way into the power and justifies deploying our military against her citizens to 'keep the peace'. I voted for Trump, but lets call 'balls and strikes', he does not get a pass for this behavior.
