Thank you for writing this. I have been continuously frustrated by the notions (put out by even the most well intentioned publications and public figures) that men like Hawley are simple opportunists with a deep need for individual power, fame, and adulation. It has seemed obvious to me for years that he, Cruz, Rubio and others are primarily motivated by a drive to use government to force "Real AmericaTM's" mores, religion, and recreational proclivities down everyone else's throats.

I'm dubious that the video puts any dent at all in Hawley's ambitions. Trumpistas wave away much more severe facts about their hero, I think that they will do the same for Hawley when he takes up that mantle.
