FRC-Endorsed Republican Running On Platform Of Depriving Gays Of Civil Rights
Josh Hawley is running to be Missouri's next Attorney General. A constitutional law professor, Hawley signed onto a Supreme Court brief submitted by the Becket Fund, but seems to, according to The Missouri Times, be positioning himself as the attorney who argued the case before the Supreme Court – which he did not.
"A leading national expert on the issue of religious freedom, Josh was co-counsel on the landmark Supreme Court case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, the most important decision on our First Amendment liberties in decades," his campaign website states.
Hawley is running on a platform that insists Missourians need more protection for their religious freedoms, and now his target is the LGBT community.
As he's not a lawmaker or elected politician, Hawley's campaign rests on his asking Missouri lawmakers to pass a "religious freedom" bill, similar to the broad and sweeping legislation that drew national attention in Indiana, Arkansas, and other states. Hawley sent a letter to GOP lawmakers, asking them “to make sure religious liberty is at the top of the agenda’’ when next year's session of the General Assembly begins in January.
