BEASTMODE: Tom Cotton Schools Code Pink Activists for Wearing 'Terrorist' Durag

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) eviscerated an aggrieved Code Pink activist who confronted him to complain about his lack of support for Hamas and other anti-Semitic terrorist groups. Cotton noticed that the sad old white lady was wearing a (pink) keffiyeh, which was "a well-known symbol for terrorists" popularized by former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The activist whined in response, describing the terrorist durag as a "cultural symbol ... a symbol of pride."

CNN anchor tries to stop Tom Cotton from telling the truth about IVF bill — but she fails: 'You're not going to stop me'



Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) refused on Tuesday to allow CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins to block him from telling the truth about an IVF-related bill.

Earlier in the day, the Senate failed to pass a bill that would provide federal protections for IVF. It was the second time the bill failed after nearly every Republican senator voted against it. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) were the only Republicans who voted for it.

'No, Kaitlan, you're not going to stop me there.'

The Democratic narrative quickly became that Republicans are once again trying to restrict rights and block fertility care.

Collins herself parroted that narrative. Before introducing Cotton onto her show, she said:

Senate Republicans today blocked a bill that would guarantee access to the very thing that a lot of them say they support. It's also the very thing that we have heard Donald Trump say that he supports. Democrats tried and failed, again, to pass that measure, which would guarantee access to IVF nationwide. And tonight, they are using this vote to hammer Republicans who said, "No."

When it was finally Cotton's turn to speak, he told Collins that he needed to "correct almost everything you said in the lede in there."

"First off, there's no risk to IVF in this country. All 49 Republican senators, along with President Trump, support IVF. No state restricts or bans IVF," Cotton explained. "Second, this bill was about a lot more than just IVF."

Despite having laid out only those two basic facts, Collins immediately became defensive. Cotton, however, clarified the facts about what the bill actually includes.

"You said that it had to guarantee access. Access is guaranteed in all 50 states right now," he explained. "You also said that it was about IVF. It's about a lot more than IVF. This bill would mandate coverage for experimental controversial procedures, like cloning or gene editing or providing fertility treatments to men who think they're women, whatever that means."

And when Cotton tried to explain how the bill "would also imperil religious liberties" — by allegedly compelling Christians to operate against their conscience — Collins tried to interrupt the senator.

"Let's stop you there," she said.

"No, Kaitlan, you're not going to stop me there," Cotton fired back. "Because you're misrepresenting what the bill is about. The bill is about infringing upon religious liberty."

As the interview went on, Collins repeatedly defended the bill, claiming "it would have guaranteed access to IVF." But Cotton was forced time and again to remind her that IVF access is prima facie guaranteed already because not a single state restricts it.

Tom Cotton spends 9 minutes embarrassing CNN anchor as she pushes false JD Vance accusation, Russian interference narrative



Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) bested CNN anchor Dana Bash on Sunday, using his nine-minute interview to undermine her narratives and poke holes in her questions.

Russian interference

Last week, the Justice Department unveiled an indictment against two Russian nationals on allegations of a "conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and conspiracy to commit money laundering."

The story was used as yet more evidence of Russian interference in the election, a narrative that Bash regurgitated.

'If that police officer hadn't been there, if Kamala Harris had gotten her way, many more students and teachers might have been killed.'

In response, Cotton not only explained why the narrative isn't true, but he drew attention to a more obvious and serious example of election interference.

"People should not knowingly take money from the government of Russia or Iran or China or any other adversarial nation to try to influence the election," Cotton began. "But I also think it's fair to say that a few memes or videos in the vast sea of political commentary is not going to make much of a difference in this election, nor has it in past elections as well.

"What did make a difference in the last election is the lies about Hunter Biden's laptop that more than four dozen former intelligence officials lied about in the middle of that campaign," he continued.

"And most networks, including this one, bought that lie hook, line, and sinker," Cotton pointed out. "That did make a difference in the election."

JD Vance quote

Later in the interview, Bash repeated a debunked accusation made against Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance.

Last week, Vance was accused of saying nonchalantly that school shootings are a "fact of life" in America when, in reality, he was mourning such incidents. The framing appears to have originated with a social media post from the Associated Press, a post the outlet later deleted. The Harris campaign and Democrats immediately repeated the false framing to smear Vance.

"Do you accept that school shootings like this are just a way of life now?" Bash asked.

"No, absolutely not. And JD Vance doesn't either. He said that he doesn't want them to be a fact of life," Cotton fired back. "And this week, the Associated Press got caught distorting that quote from him, so bad that they had to retract it."

The Arkansas senator then demonstrated how Harris' policy preferences will exact real-world outcomes.

"Here's what we also know about that shooting, even as we're still gathering all the facts: It wasn't as bad as it might have been because there was a police officer on the school premises that was able to neutralize the shooter," Cotton explained.

"Kamala Harris wants to take police officers out of schools. She said it in the past. That's her position," he pointed out. "If that police officer hadn't been there, if Kamala Harris had gotten her way, many more students and teachers might have been killed."

Cheney's endorsement

At the beginning of the interview, Bash tried to magnify the significance of former Vice President Dick Cheney's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, describing it as "really remarkable" while suggesting that it is bad for Donald Trump.

But Cotton wasn't buying the narrative.

"In the end, endorsements are not going to make the difference in this race. What's going to make the difference is their records," he told Bash.

Cotton later explained, "Some of this is probably that Donald Trump beat his daughter [Liz Cheney] in her last election by 39 points.

"I think most Americans are going to look at this race and compare the records they have. Again, it's a very unusual race when you have a president who served in office, who brought good times to America, and you have Kamala Harris, a San Francisco liberal, who has brought to America exactly what you see in San Francisco as well," he added.

Tom Cotton ruins CNN anchor's narrative about Trump when he points out inconvenient facts about Biden, Harris



Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) turned the tables on CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday when she tried to corner him over remarks former President Donald Trump made earlier in the day.

At a National Association of Black Journalists event, Trump fielded racially loaded questions in a mostly hostile environment. At one point, he appeared to question Vice President Kamala Harris' racial heritage, comments that stirred up more controversy.

'Four years ago, Joe Biden said if you don't vote for him, 'you ain't black.' Could you imagine a more insulting comment?'

But instead of questioning Cotton about Senate business, Collins essentially demanded that Cotton answer for Trump.

Unfortunately for Collins, the Arkansas Republican was not in the mood to play a game of identity politics. What actually matters, Cotton said, is "the fact that [Harris] identifies as a San Francisco liberal" and that her record as vice president, a presidential candidate, and as a state and local politician is "dangerous."

That response, however, wasn't sufficient for Collins, who repeatedly diverted the interview back to Trump's remarks.

But at every instance, Cotton spoke clearly about the contrast between Trump and Harris.

— (@)

Finally, Cotton had enough and highlighted previous remarks from both Harris and Biden that complicate the media's narrative that purports Trump to be racist.

"My point is when are you and the rest of the media going to demand that Kamala Harris come out and answer questions in an unscripted format about where she stands for this country, as opposed to continuing to focus on what Donald Trump said today?" Cotton said. "Four years ago, Joe Biden said, 'If you don't vote for him, you ain't black.' Could you imagine a more insulting comment? Joe Biden is presuming to judge the political views of one-eighth of our fellow citizens based on their skin color.

"Did you ever ask Kamala Harris to condemn his remarks?" he asked.

At that moment, Collins began talking over Cotton and repeatedly interrupted him.

"But, senator, this is a question — you're a Republican senator," she said. "So, I would ask you about the Republican — the Republican nominee."

"Kaitlan, did you ask Kamala Harris why she's willing to serve as a vice president for a man she essentially called racist and a segregationist?" Cotton fired back.

"OK. Well—" Collins responded.

"Have you or anyone else in the media asked Kamala Harris those questions, Kaitlan?" Cotton followed up.

Collins, whose ratings are abysmal, did not answer Cotton's questions. She simply implored Cotton to "trust" her because she has "covered the Biden-Harris White House."
