Cotton: I Would Recommend Trump ‘Apologize’ to McCain

Cotton said, “I disagree with Mr. Trump’s comments. John McCain is a great American. Everyone knows that he was a POW for over five years. But, here’s one thing that most people don’t know about him. His dad was a senior admiral at the time he was a POW, and because of that,the Vietnamese offered him an opportunity for early release, in direct violation of the code of conduct for prisoners of war. John McCain declined that early release, and obeyed the code of conduct. So, I think we all should respect and honor John McCain’s service.”

Cotton Takes On Sanctuary Cities: ‘Local Officials Should Support The Rule Of Law’

His bill, introduced Wednesday, comes on the heels of the murder of Kate Steinle at the hands of a multiple-deportee, multiple felon who was released from custody due to San Francisco’s sanctuary polices. “The senseless murder of a young woman in San Francisco last week tragically illustrates that the politicization of the immigration debate has now swamped even common-sense efforts to protect public safety,” Cotton said. “It is unacceptable that cities would issue ordinances that explicitly aim to frustrate federal immigration laws that are supposed to keep illegal immigrant felons off the streets.”

I support Sen. Tom Cotton/ the GOP-47, and their March 9, 2015 “Open Letter to the Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” as a means of clarifying, and then ending the self-destructive “negotiations” (elaborated here; here/here; and here) with a Shiite theocratic regime whose ugly and dangerous ideological pillars are: jihadism, Islamic Jew-hatred, and the active dehumanization of all non-Muslims via “najis”—“uncleanliness of the infidel”—doctrine.

Obama More Guilty of ‘Treason’ than Senate Republicans

Democrats and the mainstream media have used the words “traitor” and “treason” to describe a letter to Iranian leaders, drafted by freshman Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and signed by 47 Republican Senators, that warns any nuclear deal President Barack Obama signs may be voided by a future administration or Congress if it is not ratified by the Senate. Since they have brought the “t-words” into the debate, it is worth examining the case against Obama himself, which is far more damning.
