1. He's only echoing TFG. It's breath taking. This is a former prosecuter.

3. And that is certainly irresponsible, but he's hardly the only Republican to echo TFG.

2. If ya wanna get elected as a republican

To a national post advocating violence against fellow human beings is a good start, while your hiding in Washington with Secret Service Protection.

5. We can certainly hope that these TFG-supporting Congress mambers are voted out in November - along with TFG.

And that those who helped plan and execute January 6th finally face justice along with him.

4. I expect nothing less

From Traitor Tom.

[not fooled]

6. Yeah, cotton has no problem with violence

He’s sure he can outrun it.

The great Charlie Pierce calls him a “bobble-throated slapdick”

7. Cotton ridiculed our soldiers who suffered from violence.

TBI's effects are not always immediate.

Tom Cotton defends Trump referring to soldiers’ traumatic brain injuries as “headaches” and “not very serious”

The VFW expects an apology from the president to our service men and women for his misguided remarks. And, we ask that he and the White House join with us in our efforts to educate Americans of the dangers TBI has on these heroes as they protect our great nation in these trying times. Our warriors require our full support more than ever in this challenging environment.” — William “Doc” Schmitz, VFW National Commander

8. Thank you and I sure agree. Well said.

And, unlike TFG, Cotton actually served in the military, in the U.S. Army and was deployed to Baghdad - as a platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division!
