Josh Hawley just got destroyed

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Of all the House and Senate Republicans who pursued a seditious effort to overthrow the 2020 election, which incited a deadly domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol Building, Senator Josh Hawley is arguably the most egregious. He even went so far as to go out and pump up the crowd of marauders shortly before they invaded the building.

As a result, Simon & Schuster has canceled Josh Hawley’s book deal. Hawley is far from happy about the move, calling it “Orwellian” and making vague threats against the publisher.

In response, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted this: “You fist-pumped insurrectionists and baselessly attacked our elections. Your actions fueled a riot and you fundraised in the chaos. Five people are dead. Even your GOP colleagues have distanced from your acts. Yet here you are crying over a book deal. You should be expelled.”
