Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) defended his objection to the Electoral College results on Jan. 6, saying he did not support lawlessness after the breach at the U.S. Capitol during the joint session of Congress.

“This time around, anyone who objected has been called an ‘insurrectionist,’” Hawley wrote in a Wednesday column.
