Reply to comment by Some_Adhesiveness142 in Hawley introduces Pelosi Act banning lawmakers from trading stocks by turbulance4

I understand he cheered a group of people outside the Capitol (?) building, before that same group decided to break into the building and try to disrupt the electoral process. I don't understand why people are saying he should be in prison for that. It's not illegal to cheer a group, and it's reasonable to assume he didn't know what they were about to do.

Did he do something else I'm not aware of?

He urged on a coup attempt and you don't find that a problem?

You're Republican, then.

You seem to have failed to comprehend my previous comment. Please read it again.

> You're Republican, then. Trump fan? Think the election was stolen?

No, no, and no.

But the violent attack on the capitol to stop the certification of a fair election and keep Trump in power isn't a coup?

Why do you guys always lie about who you support?

Again your reading comprehension is quite lacking. At no point did is say it wasn't a coup. I said Hawley "cheered" the crowd before it was clear what they were going to do. Your criticism amounts to nothing more than him once slightly moving his fist in a way you didn't like.

Now, if I'm uniformed about something.. if he was proven in some way to be more involved in orchestrating the (pathetic attempt at a) coup.. please let me know.

Christ almighty you people are so silly.

He did not urge a coup. I’ll change my mind if you can provide irrefutable evidence of this claim.

Dorp the word irrefutable. If some good evidence is provided I'd look into it. Something more than "he shook his fist to a crowd before that crowd did anything illegal"

He was one of the first Senators to object to the certification and continued that objection even after they resumed the certification after the MAGGAT INSURRECTION. He’s a lying ass traitor that should be in prison!

He should go to prison for objecting? Isn't that kind of what politicians are supposed to do?

It was what his objection was….it was all about it being a stolen election and that Joe Biden was not actually elected. He urged on the “Big Lie” that instigated the deadly violence and continued it even after he himself ran from the mob he helped create! He’s a coward and a traitor!

I don't think you should take the position that politicians should go to jail for claiming an election was stolen. Plenty of Dems have made this claim as well.

In the same sense that everyone charged with a crime should have a right to a lawyer, politicians should have the right to challenge an election (even when they are clearly wrong).

That’s all the evidence they have. He didn’t do anything that would rise anywhere close to incitement.

Traitors gonna traitor. I don't see you Trump fans ever admitting it was a violent attack to stop the certification of a fair election.

It was a violent attempt that failed at overturning the election.

If you thought 500 people could overturn an election without guns, you’re being very silly.
