Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell bluntly warned Republican senators in a private meeting not to sign on to a bill from Sen. Josh Hawley aimed at limiting corporate money bankrolling high-powered outside groups, telling them that many of them won their seats thanks to the powerful super PAC the Kentucky Republican has long controlled.
This is confusing because Hawley is pretty fucking evil but this bill makes sense…
I replied to another comment saying that it’s important to remember that these people are not evil incarnate. Many of them just have a radically different worldview, one that I strenuously disagree with in many ways, but that doesn’t mean there can’t ever be compatibility. Cory Booker is working with Hawley to combat child labor. Booker disagrees with Hawley on a lot of stuff but he’ll put that aside to work on something productive.
Gacy was a great member of the community and helped at hospitals and charitable event but he also murdered a lot of people and I can say he was evil. Is Hawley evil I would say yes, can he do right things sometimes? Sure but his end game is inherently evil
I think that’s a false analogy
Hawley supported and raised a fist to a violent insurrection that led to death, Hawley refuses to support gun regulations that could save more kids… the guy has blood on his hands
It only applies to publicly traded companies, which tend to be beholden to the “woke, oppressive majority” of society. Private companies would remain free to funnel unlimited funds to their choice of shithead.
