Of all the Republicans in the House and Senate who raised objections to certifying Electoral College results back in January, Sens. Ted Cruz (TX) and Josh Hawley (MO) appear to be bearing the brunt of the attacks coming from the media and the left.
Hawley, in particular, has seen the New York Times track down former classmates, a prom date, and his middle school principal for comment on how they were “aghast at his role in undermining confidence in America’s elections.”
He’s also been called a “seditionist” and “traitor” by members of Congress, has been unsuccessfully targeted for censure or expulsion by some of the same people, had a book deal canceled, and saw his Washington, D.C. home visited by so-called “protesters” who thought it would be a good idea to terrify his wife and infant daughter in the middle of the night while he wasn’t home.
Sadly, the attacks against Hawley by way of using his family members continue to get more personal, as an obviously upset Hawley explained in a Twitter thread an hour ago in revealing how an Act Blue-funded PAC recently targeted his sister’s clinic on “multiple” occasions:
My sister is a doctor and a Navy vet. She spends her life serving others. This week, a Democrat group has come to her clinic during working hours multiple times to harass her and her patients, driving a billboard truck around the clinic – all because she’s my sister
— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) June 25, 2021
Hawley, obviously feeling protective over his sister, then proceeded to direct the group to his office, advising them that if they have an issue with him that they should take it up with him and not members of his family:
The group is called Really American PAC – funded by the Democrat site Act Blue. This is disgusting & cowardly behavior. If they have a problem with me, they can come to my office & take it up with me. But to target and harass my sister & those she serves is pathetic & shameful
— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) June 25, 2021
He included receipts as well, including photos of the PAC’s truck and one of his sister dressed in medical scrubs:

In response, “Really American” got huffy and threatened legal action against Hawley for calling them out:
This is patently false, but we would expect no less from a traitorous liar. Josh Hawley listed a residence in Missouri as his voting residence. How would anyone know that Hawley himself is a carpetbagger actually living in Virginia. Additionally, these claims are false. You’ll… https://t.co/idlzcROLro

But Hawley didn’t care. Clearly, it’s about family honor here and he was not having it:
You didn’t go to my home. You didn’t go to my office. You went to my sister’s medical clinic MULTIPLE TIMES over multiple days during working hours. You knew exactly what you were doing. You’re liars and cowards https://t.co/SUmwF8oGY6

Another lie, and not a plausible one. You came on to the private property of a medical clinic in Springfield, MO – multiple times over multiple days, to harass my sister. I live in Ozark, MO. Different town. https://t.co/ydQUAwOh3d

Does anybody get the impression that if he wasn’t a U.S. Senator, Hawley would go all wild west and demand satisfaction via an old-fashioned duel? LOL. He’s clearly p.o.’d and who could blame him for being angry?
In any event, considering how Maxine Waters and other Democratic members of Congress were urging people to “get in the faces” of Trump-supporting Republicans, we shouldn’t be too surprised this is happening. It’s disgusting to be sure, because there are no lows to which the left will not stoop anymore, and that includes harassing family members at their homes and places of business and shouting Republican politicians and administration officials out of restaurants over political disagreements.
And sadly, in worst-case scenarios, it involves shooting up a baseball field full of Republican House and Senate members.
We’ll keep you posted on any potential new developments in this story. Stay tuned.
