Hawley ran for cover from the rioters he greeted hours earlier

Sen. Josh Haley (R-MO) did his best Sideshow Bob Print on Twitter on Friday, the morning after being completely mocked for a clip released during the January 6 hearing showing him running for safety as rioters stormed the Capitol, tweeting a link to a mug he is selling with a picture of him with his fist raised, drawing yet another parade of mockery.

During Thursday’s hearingcommittee member Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA) showed the infamous photo of Haley raising his fist to the crowd of protesters gathered outside the Capitol, followed by a video clip showing the senator running through the halls and descend an escalator during the riot.

To introduce the clip, Luria mentioned that the committee interviewed a Capitol police officer who witnessed Hawley’s fist-raising gesture and said that it “annoyed the crowd, and it bothered them a lot because he did so in a safe space, protected by officers and barriers.

The audience in the courtroom Burst out laughing during the video of Hawley leaking, and Twitter users had fun ridiculing him, putting the video on a variety of humorous soundtracks and using mocking hashtags like #HawlinAss.

Hawley apparently woke up this morning and decided he wanted more, so he tweeted a blowing a kiss emoji and a link to his website where he sells a cup of coffee with the image of him raising his fist to cheer on the same people who would later storm into the Capitol as they chanted “Hang Mike Pence”:

Predictably, Twitter users were quick to spread the stuffing of Hawley’s tweet, with many coming up with their own merchandising ideas.

Excerpts from this interview with the former DC Metropolitan Police officer Michael Fanoncalling Hawley a “bitch” who “ran like a bitch,” were also common in replies to the Missouri senator’s tweet:
