Republican Josh Hawley fled January 6 rioters – and Twitter ran with it (The Guardian)

Capitol security footage of the Missouri senator spurred laughter during the hearing and spawned online ridicule.

Luria said: “We spoke with a Capitol police officer who was out there at the time. They do not have a right to assault cops.” It prompted a flurry of online memes ridiculing Hawley fleeing from the very people he had earlier encouraged.

The story of January 6 in two Josh Hawley photos (Mother Jones)

From an iconic fist pump to running away from the mob.

But it’s also sort of perfect—a postscript to the earlier image that completes the little parable: The Republican Party, or most of it anyway championed a dangerous movement it never truly controlled. That broken form is the gait of a man finally reaping what he sowed. The fist pump became a symbol for how Republicans brought the nation to that point.

Footage of Senator Josh Hawley fleeing the Capitol on Jan.6 gets a ... (Salon)

Thursday's hearing introduced new video of the events of January 6, which included Hawley making a quick exit.

She told us that Sen. Hawley's gesture riled up the crowd, and it bothered her greatly because he was doing it in a safe space, protected by the officers and the barriers." As Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., pointed out during her hearing remarks, earlier on Jan. 6 Hawley had raised his fist outside the Capitol, in apparent tribute to the protesters who would shortly storm the complex and seriously injure numerous law enforcement officers. "We spoke with a Capitol Police officer who was out there at that time. Among that footage, nothing made a bigger impression than a clip of Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., making a rapid exit from out of the Capitol as Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and other supporters of Donald Trump roamed through the building. - Trump "was the cancer in the center" of January 6 plot Journalist Dan Przygoda responded with a clip of the Jan. 6 hearing attendees themselves reacting in real time to the footage shown of Hawley.

But the committee clearly has another unstated mission: to humiliate hypocritical Republican lawmakers and former Trump administration officials. The committee dragged Senator Josh Hawley in exquisite fashion during its eighth hearing. “Later that day, Senator Hawley fled after those protesters he helped to rile up stormed the Capitol,” Luria continued.

Josh Hawley Just Gave Us the How It Started/How It's Going for Jan. 6 (VICE)

Josh Hawley fist-pumped the Capitol rioters on Jan. 6—and then he ran from them.

“I don’t know which of those protesters, if any of them, those demonstrators, participated in the criminal riot,” Hawley told The Post. “And I think it’s a slur on the thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of people who came to the Capitol that day to demonstrate peacefully to lump them in with the criminal rioters and say, ‘Oh, you’re all basically the same.’” Hawley’s fearful demeanor was a stark contrast to the swaggering photo he posed for outside the Capitol earlier that day U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria also showed that photo at Thursday’s committee hearing, which was taken as Hawley passed protesters gathering at the gates of the Capitol. Luria said that they heard testimony from an officer who recalled how the gesture had “riled up” the crowd. The internet quickly seized upon the video and set it to a variety of soundtracks, including; the Benny Hill theme, Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill,” the “Sir Robin Theme” from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Looney Tunes’ outro music, “That’s All Folks.”

Footage Shows Josh Hawley Running From the Capitol as Trump ... (PEOPLE.com)

The footage was captured just hours after Hawley was seen raising his fist in solidarity with the Trump supporters gathered outside.

The riot ultimately disrupted the Senate's process to certify the election results, and led to at least five deaths, including a Capitol Police officer. In the wake of Hawley's actions, his planned book with Simon & Schuster was dropped by the publishing house, which said at the time it "did not come to this decision lightly." "We spoke with a Capitol Police officer who was out there at that time.

'Run Hawley Run': Video of Josh Hawley fleeing Jan. 6 rioters ... (The Washington Post)

The internet set the videos of Hawley running to everything from Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" to the theme song from "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Congressional hearings: The House committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol has conducted a series of hearings to share its findings with the U.S. public. Hawley has continued to make political hay — and money — out of the fist-pump picture. Five people died on that day or in the immediate aftermath, and 140 police officers were assaulted. Here’s a guide to the biggest moments so far. The officer told the committee that Hawley’s behavior “bothered her greatly” because he agitated the protesters from “a safe space,” protected by the barricades and police between him and any mob that might form. Moments after the clips were shown publicly, he was ready to call it. A U.S. Capitol police officer protecting the building reported to the committee that Hawley’s gesture “riled up the crowd,” Luria said, with a giant version of the fist-pump photo projected behind her. The committee replayed the footage in slow-mo for good measure. Some set the videos to music — mostly songs with lyrics about running. Aside from the brief burst of laughter, things remained somber at Thursday’s hearing. Hawley slapped a rendition of the image on several pieces of merchandise, along with the slogan “SHOW-ME STRONG!” — a reference to Missouri’s nickname, “the Show-Me State” — and began selling the items in February, the Missouri Independent reported in March. Then came a six-second clip showing Hawley whisking his way down a flight of stairs with others.

Josh Hawley feared, ran from the Capitol mob he helped summon (MSNBC)

When Josh Hawley felt protected, he signaled his support for a Jan. 6 mob. But when the Capitol was breached, a scared senator literally ran away.

But the humor is in the contrast: When Hawley was protected by the police, he was eager to raise a fist and signal his support for the insurrectionists, seeing the extremists as political allies. It was also Hawley who appeared on Fox News on Jan. 4 and was asked whether he believed Trump would remain president on Inauguration Day 2021. Hawley can be seen running through a hallway in the Capitol and then quickly making his way down a staircase with colleagues. Sen. Josh Hawley, the Missouri Republican who raised his fist in solidarity with a crowd of Trump supporters outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, was forced to flee rioters in new footage presented Thursday night by the House Jan. 6 committee in a televised hearing. As the Jan. 6 committee’s hearings have unfolded, there have been exceedingly few moments of laughter inside the committee room. But those in attendance for the presentations — congressional staffers, journalists, police officers, family members, et al.

“That’s my job, and I will keep doing it.” “She told us that Senator Hawley’s gesture riled up the crowd,” Ms. Luria said. “I will never apologize for giving voice to the millions of Missourians and Americans who have concerns about the integrity of our elections,” Mr. Hawley said then. In the days after the attack on the Capitol, Mr. Hawley remained defiant, arguing that the electoral count in Congress was the proper venue to air his concerns about fraud in the balloting. “And it bothered her greatly because he was doing it in a safe space, protected by the officers and the barriers.” There were a fair share of “How it started … how it’s going” jokes at the expense of Mr. Hawley, who led the effort to object to electoral votes for Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Jan. 6, 2021, and is regarded as a potential Republican presidential contender.

Most importantly, is Josh Hawley faster than Rich Eisen, who routinely runs the 40 in a suit at the combine? In 2022 Eisen ran the 40 in 6.16 seconds, and Eisen is 53 years old to Hawley’s 42.

Josh Hawley video, Trump's outtakes and Secret Service farewells ... (CBS News)

Thursday's prime-time hearing focused on the 187 minutes of then-President Donald Trump's inaction while rioters descended on the Capitol.

And he would also be close to acknowledging that what he lit at the rally got out of control. I just want to say Congress has certified the results without saying the election's over." Later clips shared on Twitter showed people in attendance at the committee hearing reacting with laughter. It was getting – for whatever the reason was on the ground, the VP detail thought that this was about to get very ugly." If he acknowledged the dead cop, he'd be implicitly faulting the mob. A White House employee told President Trump about the riot "as soon as he returned" to the Oval Office from his speech at the Ellipse, said Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria — but no records exist of what happened for much of that afternoon. "I don't want to say the election's over. "The members of the VP detail at this time were starting to fear for their own lives," the anonymous official testified. That gesture stuck with an unnamed Capitol Police officer, Luria said. I already said you will pay …" Congress has certified the results," he continued, before stopping to argue with parts of the prepared text. Thursday's prime-time hearing was no different, with a clip of Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley immediately taking over social media.
