They should have cut his ass off and put up a screen of the actual text of the bill. Stop letting these people lie on fucking tv. Call them out. Shut them up and prove they’re lying right in front of them.
Seriously - not a bad response per se, but fucking EVERYONE knows these chucklefucks come to negotiate in bad faith, so bringing the receipts as a journalist is absolutely fucking crucial to catch them in outright lies, and actually nailing them to the wall on national television instead of letting them skitter around and avoid the point. I can just about guarantee you a large proportion of the viewership is on that shitass senator’s side, because a large proportion of the viewership is either that wrongheaded, dumb, prejudiced, dogmatic, or some combination thereof.
its cnn. they are on his side, just less explicitly so
“The legislature acted promptly to change what was an old law to ensure access to I[VF] —,” he tries to say, only for Collins to interject and ask him, “Why did they have to act if it wasn’t in peril, senator?”
“Because of the Supreme Court decision,” Cotton responds, referring to Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case that overturned Roe.
Very "States rights to do what?" energy. Love to see it.
providing fertility treatments for men who think they’re women, whatever that means
They can’t actually believe this, right? This is just nonsense to get the morons upset. He can’t really be that stupid.
What timeline is this? 😭
If Tom comes before Cotton, he is that stupid. I'm in his state unfortunately, but he does not represent me
Fuck Tom Cotton. He's so embarrassingly awful and stupid.
I hate having to see his face all the time. He's so bad I'd vote for a literal giant douche or turd sandwich over him.
same morons that believed schools were putting out litter boxes for students, and that Haitian immigrants were eating pets. They're hateful, racist, despicable people, who's entire sense of self-worth is built on the idea that because they're white they're better than everyone else.
I had to look up that litter box thing. What the fuck?
The Idiocracy timeline. I mean look at it.
It's even worse than that. It's a montage timeline.
So 'the montage from the beginning of Idiocracy' timeline? I mean, pretty sure we knew we were still 50+ years away from President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

It can be argued that he was actually a great president in his time. He recognized a problem and made sure to find and enable the most qualified person to fix it, and actually implemented their solutions even if it pissed off the corpos
Completely agreed. I more meant we're still in the opening montage as the idiots take over and start destroying farmland.
It was a prophecy.
Poor little Tommy. What will he do when all his boomer supporters have died?
switch to gen-x; they're much trumpier than boomers.
In the beginning he said something like "we want Christian hospitals to give care based on their conscience."
NOPE. I want Christian doctors who deny care based on their conscience to permanently lost their license. I want hospitals that support this inane idea to lose their permits. He is supporting the antithesis of healthcare.
The phony baloney stolen valor Army Ranger. This yutz is such a slimy worm 🪱
This guy always looks like he’s doped up
"Christian love" is a hell of a drug.
We need more babies!
No, not like that!
