Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is calling on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to repudiate a Jan. 6 vigil organized by an Antifa outfit and featuring prominent House Democrats as speakers.

“I call on you to condemn the leaders of the ‘Candle Light Vigil for Democracy’ planned for today and to ask members in your caucuses to cancel their planned support for this event,” Hawley told Schumer and Pelosi in a Jan. 6 letter.
