Most of the speech amounted to an outline of his effort to remake the Republican Party and possibly seek the presidency. Hawley blasted what he called "the giant woke corporations" that opposed a Republican-backed Georgia voting measure, said Democrats would "effectively cancel women's sports" by allowing transgender athletes and argued that they back legislation "that would effectively close Christian colleges and universities."
Five days after his Ozark speech, Hawley became the lone senator to vote against the Covid-19 Hate Crimes Act, designed to combat discrimination against Asian Americans. It was in some respects an unlikely position for someone eyeing a presidential campaign, but to Hawley, it made sense. It was, he said, "dangerous" to broaden the federal government's ability to prosecute hate crimes.
Hawley had taken his stand. Once again, he was defiant, beckoning others to follow.

Voices4America Post Script. This is an amazing must-read.
Did you see the DeCaprio movie, The Amazing Mr Ripley? Like Ripley, Hawley is a psychopath who behaves in one way to one person and another to another. Sick, dangerous man.
