Tough Guy Josh Hawley Threatens Entire Country After Trump Indictment

Republican Senator Josh Hawley - the man who gave the "solidarity fist" to Capitol Rioters before being seen on video running for his life from them - tweeted out an ominous threat against seemingly the entire country following the announcement of the Trump indictments. Hawley wrote "They will regret this," but he didn't specify who "they" is and what he will do to them. The answer, as Farron Cousins explains, is that this pretend tough guy will do absolutely nothing.

They will regret this. Those four words were tweeted out to the world by Republican senator Josh Hawley. Not long after Trump's indictment was announced on Thursday. They will regret this. Now, I don't know about you, but I view that as a threat. Now the question is a threat against who, because Holly didn't exactly point out who they is. So Josh, would you, would you mind expanding that a little bit for us? Would you mind stretching out that definition of they, are you talking about the prosecutors in Manhattan at that DA's office? Are you threatening them by saying they will regret this? Are you talking about prosecutors and the justice system in general? They will regret this? Or are you talking about everybody in this country that is not out there holding their Trump 2024 flags saying they, the public will regret this? And the reason I'm asking these questions about who they is, Senator Hawley, is because that actually changes what kind of criminal charges could be brought against you for this threat against the United States.

Because this could also be construed as a threat against the government of the United States. Because if you're referring to the president of the United States, Joseph Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and you're threatening them, geez, that almost sounds like Sedition, doesn't it, Josh? And you'd know all about that, right? Because the fist of solidarity that you gave to the Capitol rioters right before they became the Capitol rioters. Oh, and then of course, you know, I know you wanna put on this tough guy routine of they will regret this. But aren't you the same lanky little piece of crap that we saw dashing through the halls of Congress running like a little freak from those same protestors that you had already given the fist of solidarity to? You've freaking coward. You are. So here's what's gonna happen. Josh Hawley and his, they're gonna regret this.

Um, you're gonna do nothing because you're a coward and because you know that legally you can't do anything and that tweet alone may have gotten you in a little bit of trouble. So why don't you just shut your little mouth and let the justice system play out? But of course, this also does underscore the threat of violence from the Trump supporters. We've already seen it. I mean, I talked to you the other day about a, uh, single protestor outside the Manhattan DA's office, which was actually, by the way, before the indictments came out, she got angry at a couple and their two small children in strollers and pulled out a six inch knife and started waving it in their face. She

Was, was arrested without incident, thank God. But yeah, I think what Trump's supporters are gonna do, you know, there, there's gonna be some regret there, but I don't think it's gonna be on the side of the prosecutors. I don't think it's gonna be from the Manhattan DA's office. I think it's gonna be for whoever is stupid enough to go out there and try to do something stupid to protect Donald Trump. They are the ones who are going to regret this. So maybe that's what you were talking about, Josh Hawley, right? I mean, you know, to try to clear up any potential liability you may have. Are you talking about the Trump supporters who may engage in another January 6th type event because Trump gets arraigned on Tuesday? Because if so, I agree, they'll regret that the rest of us aren't gonna regret a single second about what's gonna happen to Donald Trump in the justice system.
