Comment by Josh Hawley
U.S. Senator for Missouri
We cannot afford to leave those choices to the venture capitalists and the engineers in Palo Alto [...] Behind every fight on jobs, data centers, or safety lies a more basic question of who gets to set the rules.AI Verified source (2026-06-07)

Verified: the official Senate page reproduces Hawley’s op-ed and includes both quoted sentences verbatim, with omitted intervening text between them, and it explicitly says Senator Josh Hawley penned the op-ed. The Free Press page also attributes the article to Josh Hawley and dates it June 7, 2026. Note that the Senate page itself is dated June 9, 2026, so the quote is authentic but the source-page date differs from the user-supplied date.

Verified. The official Senate page reproduces the op-ed and contains both quoted portions verbatim, with the first passage appearing in the body and the second appearing later in the same reproduced text. The original Free Press article is explicitly by Josh Hawley and dated 06.07.26, matching the user’s date. The Senate repost itself is dated June 9, 2026, so the quote is authentic and correctly attributed, though the URL’s page date differs from 2026-06-07.

Disputed
The wording comes from a real Josh Hawley op-ed, but the quote as presented is materially altered. On Hawley’s official Senate page, “We cannot afford to leave those choices to the venture capitalists and the engineers in Palo Alto” appears earlier in the piece, while “Behind every fight on jobs, data centers, or safety lies a more basic question of who gets to set the rules” appears later, so the excerpt reverses the original order rather than using a faithful omission. Also, the official Senate page is dated June 9, 2026, and the original Free Press article is dated June 7, 2026, not June 8, 2026.
