Much like Sen. Cruz before him, Sen. Hawley is finding out what it's like to see your political dreams go up in flames after becoming a laughingstock. (via thereidout Blog)
So far, it seems as though Hawley is trying to laugh through it — or lean into it. He was hawkingon Twitter a day after the Jan. 6 committee dropped the video. And in a speech at the Turning Point USA conference
last week, Hawley seemed to make a passing reference to his viral moment while claiming he’d been victimized by liberals. On Wednesday, a totally-not-irritated Hawley doubled down on his infamous fist pump, claimed the committee “attacked” him and thanked it for helping his fundraising. Hawley’s defiant tone aside, these seem like the actions of a man who sees his aspirations for higher office going up in flames. Now a meme in his own right, the senator would do well to get acquainted with another well-known image: theWe are witnessing the “Ted Cruzification” of Josh Hawley: a complete loss of political seriousness. The justifiable-yet-pitiful reduction of a man to an internet meme.is lost for Hawley. He may find success in his newfound role as a right-wing laughingstock.
