Hawley: "Pleased Mizzou is shutting down the #China Communist Party funded “Confucius Institute.” As the State Department warned Mizzou in July 2019, and as I have repeatedly stated, this program presented security risks for students & university as a whole"

Senator Hawley wrote, “The Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 articulates the United States’ commitment to promoting commercial and cultural ties with the people of Taiwan. It likewise enshrines our nation’s commitment to guaranteeing Taiwan’s ability to protect itself from attempts by the Chinese Communist Party to impose its will upon Taiwan.

Senator Hawley gave a speech on the Senate floor where he laid out the case for his resolution to allow for the dismissal of articles of impeachment against President Trump for failure to prosecute. “In the real world, when a prosecutor brings a case but refuses to try it, the court has the ability -- and the defendant has the right, the constitutional right, I might add -- to have those articles, those indictments, those charges dismissed. That is precisely the action that I am proposing today....

But after a bipartisan vote against the articles in the House, and with the public opposed to the Democrats’ partisan games, Pelosi has changed her tune.
