Tom Cotton is using the so-called riots as means to fear monger

GOP Senator Tom Cotton is back to what he does best fear-mongering the only way the GOP knows how. According to Cotton and his latest remarks, Cotton feels that unless lawmakers “enact” legislation to stop the so called “Antifa led riots” against American cities that the reported violence will continue.

But Cotton failed to mention the often rising cases of violence at the hands of Proud Boys; racists, and Trump supporters throughout numerous U.S cities in recent weeks. In fact, he didn’t mention them at all.

“A return to normalcy won’t come through weakness and passivity, but only by a decisive and overwhelming show of force that convinces these anarchists they can’t blackmail and burn America into submission,” Cotton added in a Fox News opinion piece.

“They endured this anarchy with little support from the state’s Democratic politicians. To the contrary, these Democrats seemed afraid to upset the media and their party’s radical base, who downplay, excuse and even encourage violence when it serves their cause,” Cotton said.
