Two things that are the same to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR): Demonstrators in Portland, Oregon protesting against racist police brutality, and pro-slavery insurgents in the South breaking from the Union to preserve slavery.
Reps. Louie Gohmert & Andy Biggs also got on the mics to defend Massie & express their concerns.
Biggs even accused Cheney of undermining their ability to win back the House & said if you donât have something nice to say about Trump, then donât say it at all, per source.
I was thinking last night about some heist movie from the 70s where the crooks enter an impound lot and a Rottweiler starts chasing them and they throw out a piece of meat to distract the dog while they steal a car to use as the get away.
Hey RepubliCON voters. While youâre chewing on that red meat tRump and the rest of that party are quickly enacting martial law.
Oh I get it. in the Southern White Christian mind there was no âCivil Warâ, there was the âWar of Northern Aggresionâ, so Cotton may be saying that the protesters are the good guys fighting for state rights and the big ugly Federal Government is waging a war of aggression to suppress their freedoms.
Thatâs âBobble-Throated Slapdickâ to you. (h/t Charles Pierce.) Absolutely laughable that this U.S. Senator equates graffiti and peaceful demonstrations with firing shells on Fort Sumter.
âAnd now, under false pretenses, we will visit it upon you the false narrative of what we believe you visited upon our granddaddies and what weâve been taught all our lives to hate you for doingâŚand falsely accusing you of doing what our forefathers did is our way of making it taste sweet. You shall be violently subjugated and your dissent and refusal to complacently succumb will be treated as treason.â
