Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is defending merchandise that his campaign is selling that depicts his now-infamous Jan. 6, 2021 raised fist to the pro-Trump mob that went on to ransack the Capitol.
Hawley’s campaign is selling a $20 mug that shows a black and white graphic of Hawley with his fist raised outside the Capitol and with the words “Josh Hawley” and “SHOW-ME STRONG!” in red- and blue-colored letters. In an interview with HuffPost published Tuesday, he insisted he was not supporting the attack that took place that day.
“It is not a pro-riot mug,” Hawley said, adding that he was not encouraging those who participated in the riot.
