MSNBC has their panties in a wad saying Josh Hawley wasn’t paying attention today while Democrats were making their phony impeachment arguments, suggesting that Hawley was showing his disdain for the trial:
New on @MSNBC: Republican Josh Hawley wasn't paying attention for parts of the trial. He was sitting with his legs up on the seat in front of him, reading unrelated materials, according to @GarrettHaake.

Good! The ‘trial’ is a farce and Democrat arguments should be ignored by everyone because they are rubbish.
Except Haake had to admit on Twitter that Hawley wasn’t reading ‘non-related’ material as he reported:
Hawley told my colleague @JulieNBCNews that he was reading the trial briefs while in the gallery.

Fake news strikes again!
Regardless, here’s how people responded to the original reporting:
I'm sure he can multi-task (particularly with such unserious theater) but it's mildly funny how enraged this makes those who view the impeachment farce as high-quality masturbation material. https://t.co/F0kJftCLBF
