‘OLD PARTY IS DEAD, TIME TO BURY IT’, Sen. Hawley Says Republicans Need To ‘Build Something New’

Published on

Shortly after Nevada’s Adam Laxalt (R-NV) lost his race on Saturday against Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), the race for the Senate majority was called for Democrats sparking fury amongst Republican members that failed GOP leadership was a primary reason for the loss.

Shortly after the Democrat victory, Republican Sen. Josh Hawley took to Twitter to say the Republican Party “is dead.”

“The old party is dead. Time to bury it. Build something new,” Hawley wrote.

The 42-year-old Missouri Republican is among a younger group of Senate Republicans, who have expressed reservations for or straight opposition to current Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, 82.

“You can’t expect independent voters to vote Republican unless you give them an agenda they care about,” Hawley posted on Twitter on Friday before the GOP lost the majority on Saturday.

According to Fox News, the day before, Hawley said the Republican machine “lost big” in the midterms and said their legislative priorities were not being supported by the American people.

“Washington Republicanism lost big Tuesday night. When your ‘agenda’ is cave to Big Pharma on insulin, cave to Schumer on gun control & Green New Deal (‘infrastructure’), and tease changes to Social Security and Medicare, you lose,” he wrote.

Hawley was also among a group of Republicans, joined by Sens. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, and Cynthia Lummis, who urged the Senate to postpone its leadership election until after the Georgia runoff election with Republican Hershall Walker and Democrat Raphael Warnock.

“The Senate GOP leadership vote next week should be postponed,” Rubio tweeted.

Hawley agreed. “Exactly right. I don’t know why Senate GOP would hold a leadership vote for the next Congress before this election is finished. We have a runoff in #GASenate – are they saying that doesn’t matter? Don’t disenfranchise,” he wrote.
