Cotton Won’t Say Trump Lost, Defends Trump’s Lies About FEMA Relief, Calls Jack Smith “Deranged Fanatic”

October 6, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

Politico reports:

On Wednesday, a federal judge unsealed special counsel Jack Smith’s 165-page legal brief detailing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s alleged criminal activities related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. On Sunday, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton called the move “a temper tantrum from a deranged fanatic” on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“This is unverified, un-cross-examined hearsay from grand jury testimony, which usually isn’t revealed publicly for that reason,” Cotton (R-Ark.) told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker.

“He went to court. He asked for special permission to file a brief that’s four times as long as a normal brief and to have it disclosed less than 30 days before the election. This is professional misconduct in all likelihood by Jack Smith and it should be investigated.”

The Independent reports:

Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton and Speaker Mike Johnson are the latest Republicans who can’t bring themselves to say that Trump lost the election. Cotton was put under pressure by Kristen Welker on Sunday’s Meet the Press on NBC, where she gave him multiple opportunities to put the issue “to rest.

” Welker raised how JD Vance refused to say Trump lost the 2020 election during last week’s debate with Tim Walz and asked Cotton: “Can you say definitively here and now that Donald Trump did lose the 2020 election?”

“Kristen, Joe Biden was elected president in 2020,” Cotton replied. “But did Trump lose?” Welker asked again. “Joe Biden was elected,” Cotton repeated.

Cotton knows very well that if he admits Trump lost, he and his family will be deluged with death threats by the cult. In recent weeks Trump has swung wildly from admitting that he “lost by a whisker” to repeating his years-long stolen election lies.
