Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) published a seething op-ed titled “Send in the Troops” in the New York Times on Wednesday, which was met with swift criticism from readers who criticized the newspaper for providing the senator with such a platform.
Tom “Land’o” Cotton will not be on the front lines to back up his bluster, natch.
What a curious move. Why would he want to publish his views on a failing fake news platform?
Send back the clowns.
Battle cry of the limp dick warrior…
Cancel your subscription. The New York Times does indeed have many fine writers mixed in with the turds like Cotton but New York Times editors have horrible judgement about what is fit to print.
Cancel. Do not subsidize their harmful normalizing of the stupidest people and ideas.
The op-ed needs some editing. He used the word chic twice.
This guy’s last name says it all. He has aspirations of being a plantation owner someday.
Be kind, Tom had a challenging childhood…
Oh, I don’t know … It’s not as if there was anyone else on the national landscape urging the use of the military to quell peaceful protest …
We need to hear all sides so we know what we are up against.
Freedom of the Press sometimes suck, but we need it.
Probably the only good thing about the events of this week is the New York Times stripping away its credibility.
Dean Baquet was at a cocktail party with some of the right people in Manhattan who expressed fear that their real estate was being devalued by the protests.
I think showing everyone that Tom Cotton is a fascist is just fine for the NYT to do.
Everyone should remember how unsettling all of this is and the Cotton wanted it worse.
Couple that with his Iran letter, I think the US needs to see this.
I suspect this is his warm-up act to inherit the position of GOP frontrunner if/when the Dotard resigns. He tried (and failed) to sound reasonable using a platform that reaches more people than Faux State News Service.
People’s Liberation Army (wiping away tear): “I think I’m in love.”
(“On to Hong Kong!”)
Can’t trust the NYT. They called an 85% landslide victory for Hillary on election day in 2016.
They basically did those who didn’t already know Cotton is deplorable human being a favor, now they know.
So Senator Tom Cotton wants to unleash our military against American Citizens – men, women, & children – who are exercising their First Amendment rights to free speech, to peaceably assemble, to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Seems to me Mr. Cotton and those who think(?) like him are the true enemies of the people, and of our nation and our way of life. Cotton is violating the very essence of his oath, "to protect and defend the Constitution . . . "
