7 YR old grills Tom Cotton on arts funding cuts

The Trump administration is expected to eliminate the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities program, cutting off PBS and NPR, and Toby, 7, from Arkansas is not happy.

GOP senator Tom Cotton fielded questions from voters concerned by Trump’s many executive orders and policy changes at a town hall meeting in Springdale last night, with Toby getting to ask the final one.

He really went in on the senator, to cheers from the crowd:

“I’m Toby. Donald Trump makes Mexicans not important to people who are in Arkansas who like Mexicans, like me, my grandma. And he is deleting all the parks and PBS Kids just to make a wall, and he shouldn’t do that. He shouldn’t do all that stuff just for the wall.”

Get them while they're young.

Rump is getting rid of anything he doesn't understand--like art. I love PBS. Was watching a good program on moose last night.
