Hawley Says GOP Missed Opportunity to Say 'We Are for Workers' With Rail Strike Vote.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) was one of six GOP senators who supported mandating seven extra days of paid sick leave for rail workers Thursday, in a vote he said was a litmus test for a party he wants to move in a more populist direction.

"It really clarifies the stakes for the Republican Party," Hawley, R-Mo., said in an interview with Fox News Digital after the vote. "This is a great example, a great opportunity, for Republicans to say we are for workers over and against all of these other people. And sadly, we didn't take it."

The reason the GOP didn't take the "opportunuity" to say "we are for workers" is because they are NOT for workers.

Furthermore, he and Ted Cruz (R-TX) voted the way they did only because their votes weren't going to matter.

Hey, Hawley, If you really want to try to prove you are for workers, let's see you author a bill calling for mandating seven paid days of sick leave for ALL American workers. Leader Schumer will see to it that it goes to the floor for a vote - that is if your GOP colleagues don't filibister it to death. (Oh, a cloture vote! That will be fun, too!)

What a P.O.S.

The stuff that comes out of Hawley's mouth could supply the manure needs for all of Missouri's farmers.
