    Tom Cotton hailing from the land of Huckabee tells you all you need to know.
  • @tommcfadden5232
    Cotton the coward encourages others to take matters into their own hands and yet he was a cowering coward on January 6th.
  • Tom Cotton during Jan 6 took matters into his own feet,he ran like a coward, remember?
  • @niclewis9610
    Those who think Trump and Republicans violent rhetoric make's them fit to hold office need psychological help.
  • @ryanreedgibson
    Cotton needs to be really careful. From what I hear he's about to hit rock bottom.
  • @michelebella677
    Senator Tom Cotton’s last name is pretty appropriate for the type of guy he is. I guarantee if he was alive 200 years ago he’d be a plantation owner with that very product for sale.
  • @oventi_
    Elected officials immunity should not include violence or incitement of violence.
  • @Holymoml
    Is that not unlawful and related to inciting a riot, he/the racist tom cotton should be held accountable!!!!
  • @jarhead4801
    Why are other legislators remaining silent about this clown? How on earth did he get into office? Why is he still seated? What have we become? Shameful, disgusting Senator. Vote Blue All The Way In November
  • @digabledoug
    You didn't even mention the worst part. He stated on conservative media that if they were blocking a bridge in Arkansas, they would have been thrown off. And if they were chained to it, the skin would have been ripped off their hands to remove them. Ya know, like Jesus would do.
  • These people salivate at the thought of taking "justice" into their own hands wherever they see fit.
  • @DosyPrat
    He'll just walk back the comment, say it was out of context, but the MAGAts will take it to heart.
  • @SV-lw8jo
    It is always the coward who incites others to violence while hiding behind their title.
  • @Spritel4
    How do people with such poor judgement and leadership remain in the senate?
