    Liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries were “essential” but churches and gyms were closed. 🙄🤬
  • And close hair salons ,restaurants, small business! And killed our livelihood!! 🤬😡🤬
  • My mother-in-law lost a business she had operated successfully for over 34 years due to these unconstitutional practices. She wasn’t allowed to sell her products on-line due to the fact Delaware said she couldn’t enter her business. I’ll NEVER vote for a Democrat again in my life.
  • Why the hell was Fast Food "essential" while literally EVERY mom n' pop store was forcibly shut down??
  • @bobbarker3781
    So he goes against our Constitution, yet wants to be a judge ? Then he says he did his duty. These Democrats are just unbelievable
  • @stevegeczy2443
    What a BS answer. No one will apologize or ever be held accountable for their actions.
  • These people are disgusting. They play dumb. Say they don't remember, when FACED WITH FACTS, with their NAME on it.
  • @Balenza345
    He did his duty. His duty was to discriminate against the churches. And he has no regrets about it. Good on Senator Hawley for calling him out.
  • He never admitted that standing behind the unconstitutional decision was wrong… he just says he “did a favor” by not appealing. These people are insane.
  • @stevene6482
    “I was just following orders.” That’s always so comforting to hear.
  • Again Hawley at his best defending our constitutional rights! 🎉🎉❤
  • @Cobunny2dan
    Couldn't go to church or a small business, but people climbing all over each other in Walmart for toilet paper was just fine. Literally the stupidest time in history.
  • @Lisa-vh3nh
    I am from the great state of North Carolina. Thank you, Senator Hawley, for standing up for us.
  • Sen. Hawley is a hero for the 1st amendment. Church is the best place to be❤
  • You know what this sounds like to me? "I was just dong my job", "I was just following orders" History has shown what happens when people disregard Human Rights when they are "just following orders".
  • @Tory-zp3dw
    Can they ever answer a yes or no question. This is infuriating!
