There was a field day with Sen. Josh Hawley during the committee hearing.

The photo of the Missouri Republican raising his fist in solidarity with protesters gathered outside security gates as he walked across the East front of the US Capitol was shown by the committee.

They showed a video of him running away after he helped disrupt the Capitol.

That's when the chicken, Forrest Gump and running gifs started to fire up. There are some responses.
