The man is disgusting in so many levels.
"Some human rights activists and opponents of the Iranian regime claim between 4,000 and 6,000 gay men and lesbians have been executed in Iran for crimes related to their sexual orientation since 1979.[23] According to The Boroumand Foundation,[24] there are records of at least 107 executions with charges related to homosexuality between 1979 and 1990.[25] According to Amnesty International, at least 5 people convicted of "homosexual tendencies", three men and two women, were executed in January 1990, as a result of the Iranian government's policy of calling for the execution of those who practice homosexuality.[26]
Homosexual offenses are legally recognized as adultery, sodomy, rape and often related to drug trafficking, alcoholism and other major crimes. Punishments are severe."

Appearing yesterday on CNN, Senator Tom Cotton (R) urged critics of Indianas religious freedom law to get perspective, suggesting the treatment of LGBT people in Indiana compared favorably to countries where gay people are executed.
I think its important we have a sense of perspective, Cotton said. In Iran they hang you for the crime of being gay.

And the traitor Sen. Cotton said that with a real longing in his voice, I bet. The right wing in this country want to force their own sharia religious laws on us just like ISIS.
The republican party is getting so disgusting putting up filth like Cotton and the other#47 traitors to run their hate america party.
We have to stop these mullahs before its too late!
