Hawley in back-and-forth with local reporter: ‘Just want to make sure you’re sober’

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) questioned whether a local reporter was sober during a recent interview.

Hawley pointed to a March 6 tweet from the reporter, which appears to have since been deleted.

“Why all the hate for people who like free speech on Twitter?” Hawley said, before the reporter could begin the interview.
