I didn't say it was racist, really. It was in support of conspiracy goons who are largely racist, but that doesn't make Hawley's gesture racist. Splitting more hairs.

The relevant fact about Hawley is that he is a cynic.My take was that Hawley was being self serving. We both agree it was a political ploy. Those crazies in that insurrection scream "Constitution this, and Constitution that" and he was looking to legitimize their grievances. Legally. But as we know, that shit hit him in the face.
There are LOTS of constitutional scholars. I don't recall seeing any other ones supporting what Hawley was doing. His idiotic objections had no chance of succeeding. Even if he won on PA or AZ, Biden still had enough electoral votes to win. So he was putting the nation through trauma for absolutely no good reason. Except his own career aspirations.
