  1. Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton called for the indiscriminate massacre of Palestinians on Sunday during an interview with Shannon Bream on Fox News.

  2. Nothing says “party of life” like being in favor of genocide.

  3. Participated in war crimes against the Iraqis, has a relentless obsession with confronting Iran…are we expecting him to be ethical?

  4. He’s a far right Republican kook. For numbskulls like him, the sanctity of life stops at birth.

  5. There’s no reason to be coy about preferring murder to democracy anymore in the party of domestic terrorism, is there.

  6. That’s how religious people behave tho. Us vs them. Our god is better than yours. Religion is truly brain rot!

  7. >As far as I’m concerned, Israel can bounce the rubble in Gaza. Anything that happens in Gaza is the responsibility of Hamas—Hamas killed women and children in Israel last weekend,”

    He said women and children in Israel, not *Jewish* or *Israeli* women and children.

    So Tom Cotton thinks that killing women and children in Israel is bad but those same women and children can be killed in Gaza no problem.

    I know I’m reading too much into it. I’m just ridiculing Tom Cotton, a man who somehow manages to look like the knock-off version of himself.

  9. ~~Pretty macho, until insurrectionists show up. Then he’s running for the exits!~~

    EDIT see below.

  10. Further evidence these people would accept atrocities here as long as it’s the right people dying.

  11. Had forgotten this guy existed, but I guess a bloody war with civilian casualties was just what he needed to get back in the limelight. Disgusting pig

  12. Dude wanted the US military to open fire on Black Lives Matter protesters. He’s a horrible human.

  14. A lot of pregnant women were killed, but that probably doesn’t matter to them because they don’t look like them, civilians are the primary victims of the violence happening right now from the air strikes, ethnic cleansing, Israel has killed pregnant women and children for years in these strikes, doesn’t matter who does it you can never justify this kind of violence

  15. Fascism doesn’t allow for a complex thought process.

  16. So you’re saying he’s the next GOP candidate for Speaker of the House?

  17. When there wars outside the US Republicans get excited. When there are no wars to fight they start their own culture wars at home. Republicans like war.

  19. It’s a difficult times for Republicans: they have to choose whether they hate Muslims more than they hate Jews. Not easy.

  22. Because they are brown and not Christian, two things no self respecting Republican can stomach.

  23. So by his logic, the next time there’s a racist attack on blacks in Arkansas we should raze the city of Heber Springs.
    Is that right?

  24. These people don’t know what it’s about pain and suffering. Until they experience it and start whining like pigs

  25. It never ends with this garbage human. So embarrassing that he’s in any position of power.

  26. All this vile behavior is exhausting man. Why does it all have to be so terrible?

  27. Scary dude. What’s scarier though is the number of humans that elected him to public office, over and over.

  28. The guy who said US chattel slavery was a “necessary Evil”.

  29. Imagine expecting something not objectively horrible to come out of that scumfucker’s mouth lol

  30. I forgot that this asshole was still in office for a while, it was nice

  32. What a shocker…a man from Arkansas with the last name ‘Cotton’ is a racist, hate monger

  34. he’s a legitimate monster and huge dork at the same time

  35. These are the people worth dehumanizing. They add nothing of value to the human species. Waste of resources.

    Flip the script. It’s not natural to be so devoid of human compassion. They’re not real people. An affront to God himself.

  36. Once in awhile I’ll see someone that gives me the creeps, and they just seem “off.” Like they’re a robot doing a mediocre job of imitating a human. Thats the vibe I get when I see this dude speaking on T.V.

    The good thing is I think his lack of charisma means he’ll never be able to win a presidential election.

  37. Man is as soft as a pillow, calling on others to be violent.
