Senate Democrats Expressed Prejudice Ahead of Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz InvestigationSean Moran 4 Feb 2021
Senate Ethics Committee Democrats have already expressed judgments about Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) regarding their move to object to the 2020 presidential election ahead of the committee’s investigation.
The Senate Ethics Committee will investigate Hawley and Cruz’s objection to the certification of the election results. The investigation resulted from seven Senate Democrats who filed a complaint against the Senate conservatives, contending they “lent legitimacy†to the riots against the Capitol.
Hawley subsequently filed a counter complaint against the Democrats, alleging “improper conduct†for the Democrats’ gain.
Hawley said he hopes the committee took his complaint “seriously and will work in a bipartisan manner.â€
A Cruz spokesperson said that the investigation “sets a dangerous precedent when ethics complaints are used as a political tool to try to intimidate and punish.â€
Now, the secretive Senate Ethics Committee will investigate whether Hawley and Cruz violated Senate ethics rules in their effort to object to the election results.
However, it appears the three Senate Democrats on the committee, including chairman Chris Coons (D-DE), have expressed prejudgments about Hawley and Cruz’s case.
Coons told reporters one day after the January 6 riots that Hawley and Cruz “should resign.â€
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) said in December that Hawley’s plan is “outrageous.†She added it “borders on sedition or treason.â€
