The Chameleon Can't Change His Spots

 

 May 11, 2026

 

I was reading about some of the bills that Josh Hawley is either sponsoring or co-sponsoring. Some of them sound not only useful, but humane.

 

But, let’s face it:

 

Josh Hawley is a chameleon. He changes with the prevailing viewpoint. He’s for Medicaid until he votes against it. He’s for containing the president’s war powers until it’s time to vote. He supported Capitol rioters until he ran from them.

 

He currently talks like he’s for the common man; but when it’s time to vote, Hawley votes for whatever will push his career forward. Like the proverbial leopard, Hawley never really changes his spots.

 

 

Campaign Costs

When Josh Hawley was attorney general of Missouri, he refused to release certain information about his time in office so that an opposing party committee couldn’t use it against him. Now the AG’s office—i.e. Missouri taxpayers—are on the hook for the fines and the legal fees.

 

I say that if he did it to further his campaign, let his campaign pay the tab.
