Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) just can\u2019t understand why everyone wants him to resign.

He put out a brave tweet calling for the \u201cviolence\u201d to end after a mob he helped incite laid siege to the Capitol, and his \u201cwoke\u201d publisher still gave in to \u201ccancel culture\u201d and axed his beloved book. Now people won\u2019t stop going on about his objecting to the certification of Joe Biden\u2019s victory in the blood-soaked wake of the riot.

To offer the senator a bit of clarity, co-hosts Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast talked to Pennsylvania\u2019s truth-talking lieutenant governor, John Fetterman.

Fetterman, who\u2019s faced his own challenges from Republicans who refuse to accept the 2020 election\u2019s outcome at home, had a few choice words for Hawley and his erstwhile political ambitions on the latest episode of The New Abnormal. Plus, New York University professor and \u201cPivot\u201d co-host Scott Galloway on exactly how much credit we should give Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey for kicking Donald Trump off their platforms.

\u201cThere\u2019s blood on your hands, Josh Hawley,\u201d Wilson says. \u201c...You begged and pleaded to be the favorite of Donald Trump by continuing with this fucking lie, that inflamed, these conspiratorial lunatics, and they came down there.\u201d

Wilson also calls BS on appeals for political unity if there aren\u2019t going to be any resignations first\u2014Hawley foremost among them. \u201cAll those excuses and this false and shallow horseshit hypocritical appeal to unity and reconciliation,\u201d he says. \u201cYeah. OK. Quit first, motherfucker. And then we'll talk.\u201d

Fetterman had a direct, searing message for Hawley and his fellow GOP \u201cobjectors.\u201d

\u201cYour supporters drove you from your very chamber. And after all that trauma, people were shot and people died, you still were so hell bent on exploiting this for your own political advantage. After all that, you still got up in front and continued to tell what you know are lies,\u201d Fetterman says. \u201cYou know, [Hawley] went to Stanford and Yale law. He knows better than anybody that this is all garbage. And this is the point. And that\u2019s what makes him so reprehensible. You know, I don\u2019t care what your political beliefs are. If you\u2019re willing to damage and endanger over your ambition, your, your soul is dipped in dog shit. I don\u2019t know how else to say it.\u201d

Then, NYU professor Scott Galloway joins for a discussion about Twitter and Facebook taking away the president\u2019s social media accounts.

\u201cThere is nothing noble. There is nothing patriotic. There was nothing civic in Zuckerberg or Dorsey kicking these people off of their platforms,\u201d Galloway says.

\u201cThis is them trying to wallpaper over their delay and obfuscation. People who get DUIs typically have driven drunk 200 times before they kill a family or they\u2019re pulled over. Wow. And these guys have been driving drunk and all of a sudden a family got killed. And now they\u2019re sorry\u2026 They deserve zero fucking credit for doing the right thing at the bottom of the ninth inning.\u201d
