I hate when a show introduces a new villain at the end of the final season. This Josh Hawley has blood on his hands and everyone should know. He is a liar, an opportunist and used this moment to do a stump speech. @HawleyMO pic.twitter.com/yRhKQxWKwb

Gov. Parson expressed dismay at the news of the mob storming the U.S. Capitol.

But he said people should “absolutely not” place the blame on Pres. Trump or Republicans who were trying to block certification of the election results. https://t.co/gmMZlwmEiT via @J_Hancock #MoLeg

During the four years of the Civil War, the confederates never got closer to Washington than Fort Stevens. Until today, when insurrectionist supporters of @realDonaldTrump paraded through the U.S. Capitol Building carrying the Confederate battle flag. pic.twitter.com/mPye0ziVlj
