Stanford Professor David Kennedy said Hawley gave 'credence to the patent falsehood that the election was 'rigged.''

's supporters stormed the Capitol in a bid to overturn the election results. Prior to the violent riot, which left five people dead, Hawley was photographed raising his fist in support of the pro-Trump demonstrators.

"I am more than a little bamboozled by it, certainly distressed by it," David Kennedy, a professor emeritus of history at Stanford told. Kennedy served as Hawley's academic adviser when the future senator attended the elite university; he later penned a foreword for a 2008 book Hawley wrote about former President Theodore"Teddy" Roosevelt.

Kennedy told the Missouri newspaper that he did not believe Hawley was responsible for inciting the mob, but that the Republican lawmaker's"actions did give credence to the patent falsehood that the election was 'rigged' and its results illegitimate." Senator Josh Hawley asks questions during a hearing to discuss election security and the 2020 election process on December 16 on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C."I think Roosevelt had a deep reverence for the sacred quality of our constitutionally prescribed institutions and that mob of louts and clowns that stormed the Capitol building don't seem to have any regard for that at all," the professor said.
