Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) offered no defense of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) when asked Monday whether the senator should resign after he tried to block certification of presidential election results in two states following a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Kansas City Star reports.
Said Parson: “You know, everybody has to be responsible for the decisions they make, good or bad, indifferent. That’s what I’ll say.”
