Joining countless other conservative commentators and leaders, Missouri’s senior Senator, Josh Hawley, blasted the New York-based, George Soros-funded District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his political prosecution of former president Donald Trump.
Hawley made the remarks during an appearance on Jesse Watters’ popular Fox News program earlier this week.
“Well I think what this is about is that it has nothing to do with the rule of law,” Hawley began during his conversation with the Fox host. “Jesse, obviously this is about power. It is a demonstration of raw power.”
“I think the Democrats know this has nothing to do with the law,” the Missouri Senator continued. “They are sending a message. And the message is that they will use any power that they have to interfere in the next presidential election.”
Hawley then acknowledged the obvious, stating that the real intention of Democrats is to prevent Donald Trump from running for office again. The indictment is not occurring in a vacuum; instead, it follows the same line of thinking and immoral efforts to discredit Trump just as they tried with the Russian collusion narrative, his two impeachments, framing his involvement in a certain way during January 6th, and the countless other provable lies they spread during his presidency.
“They will not willingly allow Donald Trump to run for president,” Hawley observed. “They will not willingly lose the next election. They’re going to use every means at their disposal.”
“Jesse, these are the same people who have sent swat teams against pro-life activists. Who use the FBI against parents at school board meetings,” he continued. “They will do anything. Use any kind of power to try to hold onto their own privileges, their own positions and we are seeing that tonight. This is unprecedented in American history and the only way out now is to win.”
Take a look as Hawley takes a flamethrower to Democrat lies and corruption:
The Missouri senator also took to Twitter to blast Democrats for Trump’s indictment, tweeting, “These charges aren’t about enforcing the law. Democrats barely pretend they are. They are the Left telling the nation, we are in charge here. And if you threaten us, we will destroy you.”

“Tonight’s indictment of Donald Trump isn’t about the law. It’s about power. Raw power,” he continued. “It’s the Democrat Party telling the nation they will stop at nothing to control the outcome of the next presidential election. It is an assault on our democracy, pure and simple.”
Hawley joins other Republican leaders in Congress who have likewise rallied around Trump during what one representative is calling “unprecedented election interference.”
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy railed against the political targeting of Trump, discrediting Alvin Bragg with a thorough repudiation.
“Alvin Bragg has irreparably damaged our country in an attempt to interfere in our Presidential election,” McCarthy tweeted. “As he routinely frees violent criminals to terrorize the public, he weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump. The American people will not tolerate this injustice, and the House of Representatives will hold Alvin Bragg and his unprecedented abuse of power to account.”
And New York Representative Elise Stefanik went a step further, saying: “The unprecedented election interference from corrupt Socialist District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a political witch-hunt and a dark day for America. The radical Far Left will stop at nothing to persecute Joe Biden’s chief political opponent ahead of the 2024 presidential election to suppress the will and voice of the American people.”
