Sen. Josh Hawley may have a hard time living down his brief moment in the spotlight during Thursday's January 6 committee hearing.
Missouri Democrats, it seems, want to make sure of that.
They are planning a "Hawlin' Hawley 5K" race to mock the Missouri Republican for fleeing rioters in the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, after he was photographed raising his fist in solidarity with them earlier in the day.
"We are coming, ya'll!!! Keep your eyes peeled for registration information soon. #HawlinHawley" they tweeted.

That tweet came shortly after another that said, "Love the 5K idea guys, workin' on it."
Responses included "How about a Hawley Track Club shirt?" And, "please say you'll play the Rocky theme at the start!"
A Hawley spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Hawley, however, tweeted a kissing heart emoji Friday morning with and a link to buy a $20 coffee mug that says "Josh Hawley Show-Me Strong" and shows an image of him with his raised fist.

Why are you running Josh, there are only tourists.
Missouri is the ''show me'' state and you sure showed 'em, Josh.

Hawley is a christian dominionist and he is in Missouri. The fetus, bible and the gun rules there.
