1st Grade Reader: “See Josh Run. Run, Josh, Run” [Part 1]

Sadly, Josh “Hawlinass” Hawley is my senator.  Until Thursday he was best known for his infamous seditious fist salute to fellow seditious traitors on 1/6/21.

But Thursday’s J6 Hearings changed all that!  He’ll now forever be known for fleeing the traitors that he had just saluted.  An ignominious, but oh-so-fitting, remembrance!

I’m sure you’ve all seen this clip, but I decided as a Missourian I should really try to curate some of the best mocking Sen. Hawlinass has been subjected to.

There has been such a wealth of material I decided to do it in two parts – today and tomorrow (if all goes well).

But to begin I’m going to focus on the huge number of Tweets that Fistpump McRunpants’ has generated, with quite a few from well-known folks.  Tomorrow will be limericks, a vocal parody of Monty Python, unique observations and quite a few graphics.  So stay tuned!

How fitting that Lincoln Project will lead us off:

But we also need to remember how it was (most deservedly) greeted by those in attendance at the J6 hearing – derisive laughter:

Retired Officer Michael Fanone (who was beaten with pipes, stunned with a Taser and threatened with his own gun on 1/6/21) had this to say about Hawlinass:

It should be noted that he’s not the only one who has called Hawley a BITCH:

On a lighter note, George Takei weighs in:

Joined by Al Franken:

And this note:

This one became so popular …

That you can now buy it as a t-shirt”

(I bought two of them!)

On a more serious note, my Metro’s main paper (Kansas City Star) published an editorial calling Hawley “a laughingstock”.  Unfortunately, it’s behind a serious paywall – but here are a couple of Tweets concerning it:

And before I close with an extensive music interlude, I can’ stress the importance of this post enough:

There’s been quite a few Tweets with Hawlinass’ cowardly escape that have been set to music.  Giving my hearing loss, most of it is lost on me (although I can recall some of the older tunes).  But I decided I should share it with those whose world isn’t silent:

And rather than post her nine other interludes, to save space just open Mallory Nees’ above Tweet [click on the Time & Date stamp in the lower left corner], and then scroll down.  That way it saves space, and you can pick and choose which one you want to listen to.

… But Wait – There’s More!

The Lincoln Project also has quite a few musical Tweets.  Again, I’ll let you open the first one and scroll down for the rest:
