Source: The Hill
Missouri GOP Senate candidate Josh Hawley says in a new ad that he supports forcing insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions, even as he takes part in a lawsuit that would overturn those protections in ObamaCare.
Hawley, Missouri's attorney general, who is running against vulnerable incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill (D), said in the ad released Monday that his oldest son has a rare chronic disease a pre-existing condition, he notes.
"I support forcing insurance companies to cover all pre-existing conditions, and Claire McCaskill knows it," Hawley says in the ad.
"You deserve a senator who's driven to fix this mess. Not one just trying to hang on to her office."

(22,176 posts)'have his cake and eat too', being that he's the attorney general of MO (since 2017), who added MO to the list of states participating in overturning the ACA protections against discriminating against those w/ pre-existing conditions lawsuit (totally political, all red states too).
Josh Hawley is also a hypocrite, being that he complained about those who climbed over other peoples backs to get further along in their political career and he is the poster child example of such actions (he hasn't even been in his recent office for a year yet, before deciding to run against Claire M. for senator).
We know his history in MO and already ads are running about him cutting pre-existing health conditions, and his so called 'golden boy' aura...again, a hypocrite.
