Reporters finally figure out that Bernie Madoff isn’t on the level

It looks like at least some members of the political press have postmaturely figured out that Josh Hawley is a cynical bullshit artist:
And not only do we get mild snark in the headline, we get the unvarnished truth in the main text:
In what amounted to a 360-degree return to his original position opposing the Medicaid cuts that are now law, he added: “I want to see Medicaid reductions stopped and rural hospitals fully funded permanently.”
Mr. Hawley had vowed in a statement released after the Senate passed the policy bill to “continue to do everything in my power to reverse future cuts to Medicaid.” But that promise rings somewhat hollow, given that his new bill is unlikely to garner the support needed to become law.
It’s ridiculous how long the “populist rhetoric, Paul Ryan votes” routine worked, but looks like the credit line has finally been revoked after more than a decade of missed payments. Who knows, even his cheering section on the anti-anti-Trump “left” might figure it out one day.
