Hawley: 74 million Americans are not going to shut up

A Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing took place Wednesday regarding alleged voting irregularities in the 2020 election. Missouri U.S. Senator Josh Hawley spoke during the hearing and says he is fighting for Missourians.

“I was talking with some of the constituents back at home–a group of about 30 people–and every single one of them told me they felt they had been disenfranchised, that their votes didn’t matter and that the election had been rigged,” said Hawley. “These are normal, reasonable people. These are not crazy people, these are reasonable people, who by the way, have been involved in politics. They’ve won, they’ve lost, they’ve seen it all. These are normal folks, living normal lives, who firmly believe they have been disenfranchised.”

However, the former director of the Cybersecurity and infrastructure agency, Christopher Krebs, continues to say that the 2020 election was the most secure election in U.S. history.

“After four years of being told the last election was fake and that Donald Trump wasn’t really elected and that Russia intervened–after four years of that now these same people are told ‘you just sit down and shut up. If you have any concerns about election integrity you’re a nutcase, you should shut up.’ Well, I’ll tell you what, 74 million Americans are not going to shut up,” said Hawley. “Telling them that their views don’t matter and that their concerns don’t matter and that they should just be quiet is not a recipe for success in this country, is not a recipe for the unity I now hear the other side is suddenly so interested in after years and years of trying to delegitimize President Donald Trump.”
