Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell bluntly warned Republican senators in a private meeting not to sign on to a bill from Sen. Josh Hawley aimed at limiting corporate money bankrolling high-powered outside groups, telling them that many of them won their seats thanks to the powerful super PAC the Kentucky Republican has long controlled.

It's hard to believe a Republican is pushing a piece of non-terrible legislation for a change.
Yes! I’m confused! Hawley has always been a shithead. What’s changed!!?! I’m not complaining, just curious… and a little suspicious.
He's still a shit head, he just probably thinks this will limit corporate money to Dems, plus most of the Republican party takes donations from shady or compromised sources like the NRA, so it doesn't hurt them as much to limit corporate contributions.
Shhhh... Let them think they'll own the libs on this "terrible bill for democrats" wink wink
He may actually be dumb enough to believe that such legislation would hurt Democrats more than Republicans.
True believers are always a detriment to a false movement.
He doesn't, and he won't. It is part of their culture war against woke. It will not end in any legislation, but it will be repeated ad nauseum in the press as if it was actually serious, and his voters will lap it up.
The more extreme the Republican party becomes the more likely it is that big corporations will fund Democrat opponents.
Yes; either redemption is possible and a choice or there’s an angle. And this is not a partisan issue.
