Josh Hawley got a callout from the Jan. 6 committee — for evacuating as rioters were in the building.
The video was contrasted with a now-infamous photo of Hawley from before the riot giving a fist pump to protestors outside of the Capitol.
What’s happening: The Jan. 6 Committee put a spotlight on Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who helped lead the effort to try to challenge the 2020 election results.
Hawley is infamous for a photo taken early on Jan. 6 showing him giving a fist pump to protestors outside the Capitol, before it turned into a riot.
The Jan. 6 Committee contrasted that solidarity for the protestors with new videos showing Hawley running through the Capitol as senators were evacuated from the chamber to a secure location.
The committee included two brief videos of Hawley: One of him running on the first floor of the Capitol as senators were being evacuated and shortly thereafter with senators as they were being evacuated through a basement area.

I talked to former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone outside the #Jan6thHearings.
Here is his response to seeing video of Sen. Josh Hawley running away from rioters after fist bumping them earlier in the day on Jan. 6 :"Josh Hawley is a bitch", said Fanone. https://t.co/qgCPHcVh1r pic.twitter.com/rTJoJywgY3

Didn’t think I’d find any humor in any of this but this made my night.
