Way to name your airport after an insurrectionist supporter & democracy denier. Kudos. Go America!

Trying to remember when he supported Jan 6? I think you're confusing Blunt with Hawley. Whether or not you like him, he's not retiring because he hates being a Senator. He's retiring because he clashed with trump and fell out of favor with Missouri Republicans. Blunt was one of the people denouncing Jan 6 as it was going on, which would be expected since it interfered with his constitutional duty to verify the results of the election and he's a pretty strict constitutionalist.

Like all politicians… He was speaking out of both sides of his mouth.

I'm sure he does. But I don't have a subscription to KC Star so I have no idea what's in that opinion blog. But he's never as far as I know expressed any support for the Jan 6 insurrection or those who carried it out. I'm not sure there was some magical gotcha moment in that blog that would show he did. I suspect if there had been it would have been somewhere more than in a blog behind a paywall.
