I'm sure you're loyal to your boss, but this man incited violence and you helped him. There is no "following orders" defense that will save you. You are part of this now.
And it is so much more serious than him simply "raising concerns."
🧵
Sadly, much of the media and many members of the Washington establishment want to deceive Americans into thinking those who raised concerns incited violence, simply by voicing the concern. That\u2019s false. And the allegation itself is corrosive and dangerous. https://t.co/drhsK54MzQ pic.twitter.com/rEk9G5DOo5

Prior to November 3rd, Joshua had nothing to say about Pennsylvania's vote by mail legislation.

In fact, Joshua didn't have squat to say about election integrity either.

By November 4th, when it was apparent that Trump would likely lose the election, Joshua--as a sitting US Senator--started tweeting out that Michigan was hiding secrets from the public.
Sowing doubt. Fanning the flames.

So Joshua started this fake call for election integrity--a call he'd never made before.
At first he threw the whole kitchen sink out there--BigTech, ballot harvesting, poll watchers, counting, etc.

By the time he reached high-school, however, he attended an elite private high-school 60 miles away in Kansas City.
This is a piece of his history he works to erase as he builds up his counterfeit image as a rural farm boy from a small town who grew up farming.

After graduating from Rockhurst High School, he attended Stanford University where he wrote for the Stanford Review--a libertarian publication founded by Peter Thiel..

Hawley's writing during his early 20s reveals that he wished for the curriculum at Stanford and other "liberal institutions" to change and to incorporate more conservative moral values.
This led him to create the "Freedom Forum."

There are many more examples as shown in the above video, but here are 15 times that Donald Trump has denounced white supremacists, the KKK, neo-nazis, David Duke, and racists of all types, etc., etc. ...

In the internet economy, what has become scarce are things like specific knowledge, rare & valuable skills, and great reputations.
