ST. LOUIS - About 100 people gathered in the park outside Senator Josh Hawley's St. Louis office on Tuesday as part of a protest organized by a labor union calling for the junior senator's resignation.
Hawley has been widely criticized over the past week for being the first senator to announce he would object to election certification on Jan. 6, the same day crowds gathered in DC and overtook the Capitol.
"I never thought in a million years that we would see the treason that we saw in DC," union VP Corey Sanford said. "When he raised his fist to the protesters -- to the treasonous protesters in DC -- he was giving them the OK to go ahead and storm the capital, in my opinion."
Members of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) organized the Tuesday morning event which featured several speakers, as well as a caravan around the federal courthouse where Hawley's office is located with cars circling the square six times, one round for each of the people who died as a result of the siege.
"Senator Hawley incited a domestic terrorist attack on our nation's capital last week, and -- for this reason -- he needs to resign," one speaker said.
