Senior editor, National Review at CPAC, today:
Also, Hawley likes to use the phrase "in the name of the people." This is Marine Le Pen's slogan, of course: "Au nom du peuple." Hawley says "new nationalism," but what he's selling is very old. When demagogues claim to be acting "in the name of the people," watch out. 2/2

On the other hand, Hawley didn’t score a place on the infamous CPAC straw poll (possibly because his name wasn’t included?), where Ted Cruz and Rand Paul each got 2%, and home-team fave Ron DeSantis got 21%. So, Firebrand Josh is maybe extremely popular with a subset of Death Cultists, but not so much the ‘leadership’ and/or the broader Base?…
