Why does it feel like Cotton's remarks won't age well.
A quick search of Cotton’s accounts show that the first time he posted a single word critical of USAID was 5 days ago, despite serving in the Senate for 10 years and the House before that.

I remember someone saying "Tom Cotton's name is as close to Jim Crow as reality would allow"
If you only listen to my podcast and never watch it, you might miss the funny memes I make.
For example, this week Jamelle made the joke that "Tom Cotton" sounds like the name of the final boss of slavery and so I made this meme for this episode.

Tom Cotton's home state, Arkansas, has Little Rock. Little Rock is the United States' 4th most violent city. It has a *much* higher crime rate than Washington, D.C. This is just the white supremacy talking.

I know this is the old battle but the attempts to normalize this shit is exactly why it was good to yell at everyone involved with Tom Cotton's oped in 2020
JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."
Trump defends use of U.S. military against 'enemy within'

Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

It's not hard to draw a direct line between trump authorizing "full force" in Portland with Tom Cotton's 2020 op ed arguing for no quarter against Americans
Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats.
