Sen.-elect Josh Hawley (R-MO), who defeated Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) in the midterms, called allegations that he used public funds as Missouri’s attorney general to help his Senate bid “totally false” and dismissed them as a political attack from a Hillary Clinton campaign staffer.
“Well look it’s a Democratic group, it’s a former Hillary Clinton staffer who filed not just this complaint, Bill, but filed lots of complaints against me during the last campaign,” he told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer Tuesday. “They didn’t want me to beat Claire McCaskill, but I did. Now it’s time to get on with the people’s business and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”
“How do you respond to this allegation–?” Hemmer asked.
“It’s totally false, completely false in every particular,” he said.
While a Democratic advocacy group filed the complaint against Hawley — after the Kansas City Star reported that political consultants told staffers in Hawley’s attorney general office to take actions to improve Hawley’s public image for his Senate campaign — Missouri’s Republican secretary of state launched the investigation into the allegations.
I was wondering about this one until he blamed Hillary, which I’ve learned is GOP for “Clearly all the allegations are true.”
What, a republican lying and blaming everything on democrats? Say it ain’t so.
Sounds like he should sue his accusers.
Hillary Clinton staffer = Our Favorite boogyman

When do we find out that Hawley spent public funds at a members only bondage club. According to former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens it’s sort of a GOP rite of passage in the Show-me State.
