St. Louis, MO (January 9, 2020) – This week Josh Hawley became the face of the insurrection that led to the invasion of the Capitol. Missouri Democratic Party Chair Michael Butler released the following statement:

“Josh Hawley aided and abetted an attack on our democracy and the U.S. Capitol. He does not deserve to be called a U.S. Senator. Since the attack, Hawley has accepted none of the responsibility that falls squarely at his, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump’s feet. His stunt to benefit his own political ambitions ended in bloodshed and death, and that will forever stain his resume. I am calling on Josh Hawley to resign from the United States Senate, and if he will not, he should be immediately expelled from the Senate.”

United States Constitution Amendment 14, Section 3: “No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
