‘Posh Josh’ Hawley Uses Luxury Aircraft To Give Missourians A Single-Day “Tour” After 55 Days Without A Public Campaign Event
Independence, MO — After 55 days without hosting a public campaign event, Senator Josh Hawley finally showed up in Missouri today for a taxing one-day tour — but luckily, he got to keep up his “luxury lifestyle” thanks to a private jet worth millions of dollars.

The jet, a Gulfstream IV SP, listed for sale is typically valued from anywhere between $4.5 and $5.9 million. Ironically, Hawley spent most of his 2018 campaign criticizing his opponent for private flights — even airing campaign ads on the topic.
“After six years in Washington, ‘Posh Josh’ Hawley has built a reputation for treating us in Missouri like flyover country,” said Hawley’s opponent, Lt. Col. Lucas Kunce (USMCR). “I don’t expect Josh to apologize for being obscenely out-of-touch, but here’s what he does owe us an apology for: Delivering $0 for Missouri as our U.S. Senator.”
Hawley’s usage of the luxury plane follows a rapid change in the politician’s lifestyle since he got to Washington. In the last six years, Hawley has spent much of his time writing self-help books, sometimes nearly tripling his Senate salary — while also failing to secure even $1 in congressionally directed spending for Missouri. Kunce recently launched a new ad holding the incumbent accountable for only serving himself.
