Just passing along yet another instance of Republicans doing what they are accusing others of doing:
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley has frequently railed against “coastal elites” in speeches. Last year, he sponsored legislation that would relocate thousands of federal workers from Washington to economically distressed areas in the heartland.
But a review of property records shows that the first-term Republican is no longer a Missouri homeowner and that he is registered to vote at his sister’s home in Ozark, Missouri, while he is in-between homes in the state.
Hawley owns a $1.3 million house in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., where he spends most of his time with his wife, Erin Hawley, and their three children.
Now, to be fair, they have to live somewhere while they’re in Washington, but the custom, so far as I’m aware, is that you maintain a residence in your home state. If the guy can afford a million dollar house in Virginia, clearly he can afford to at least rent a studio apartment somewhere in Missouri where he can pretend to reside in those rare instances where he returns from the coast to escape the elites. Using your sister’s address really doesn’t cut it.
Maybe Lindsay Graham can look more closely into this and see if he can get Hawley’s ballot disqualified.
