Josh Hawley sounds like a Democrat with minimum wage proposal

Conservative Josh Hawley is being labeled a RINO after he opened his mouth about possible legislation to change the federal minimum wage. He wants to make it $15, but clearly forgets how that would damage so many businesses. He should be working on lowering prices of goods, lowering interest rates, and bringing prices down - not making everything more expensive by increasing the minimum wage. CBS reported:

Missouri GOP Sen. Josh Hawley plans to introduce legislation Tuesday to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour — a position that aligns one of the most conservative Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill with some of the most liberal members of Congress.

The legislation, called the "Higher Wages for American Workers Act," would raise the federal standard starting in 2026 and would also call for an increase in subsequent years to match inflation, CBS News has exclusively learned. Vermont Democratic Sen. Peter Welch has signed on as a co-sponsor. 

"For decades, working Americans have seen their wages flatline. One major culprit of this is the failure of the federal minimum wage to keep up with the economic reality facing hard-working Americans every day," Hawley said in a statement to CBS News. "This bipartisan legislation would ensure that workers across America benefit from higher wages."
