Outgoing GOP congressman criticizes Hawley for fundraising off Electoral College challenge

Source: The Hill | December 31, 2020 | Tal Axelrod

Outgoing GOP Rep. Denver Riggleman (Va.) tore into Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) after Hawley sent out a fundraising email boosting his upcoming challenge to the Electoral College results.

“Of course he’s fundraising off fantasy,” Riggleman tweeted. “Getting ready for 2024. Using disinformation and conspiracies as a baseline for fundraising. Grift. Fooling people to take their money. #QAnon and conspiracy theories are the new ‘normal’. Shameful stuff.”

The rebuke comes after Hawley, a staunch ally of President Trump’s, said he would object to the counting of Electoral College results during the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress.

Hawley became the first senator to join an effort by a host of Republican House members to contest the results of the election. His objection will ensure a debate in the House and Senate on the Electoral College tally.
