Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) doubled down on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” and again called for Attorney General Merrick Garland to resign. Cotton went viral earlier when he demanded Garland resign during a contentious oversight hearing.
He said: “What happened here is obvious. The National School Board Association, in concert with political hacks in the Department of Justice and the White House, colluded in advance to issue this letter.
“The Department of Justice knew it was coming, and then they sicced the feds on parents. That’s why Merrick Garland should be resigning in disgrace.”
“No, we didn’t get any answers. All he’s ever cited is the school board letter and unspecified news reports.
“I suspect the news reports are the ones cited in the school board’s letter, which the school board association has now repudiated and which a parent in Loudon County who was angry his daughter had been raped in a bathroom.
“The school board then covered it up. Even more amazingly, they transferred the perpetrator to another school, where he assaulted another girl.”
Cotton sat for an interview where he weighed in on the Joe Biden thinking about paying illegal immigrants $450,000. He said:
“We pay the families of American troops who died in the line duty $400,000 in the death benefit, and Joe Biden wants to pay $450,000 to illegal migrants.
“What about all of the American families whose lives have been shattered because they’ve had a child who’s overdosed on opioids that had been smuggled in this country by cartels and illegal immigrants?
“Where’s their death benefit of $450,000,” he said.

Unlike you, most young teachers, nuns, and others without kids don’t try to close schools down. So spare me the fake outrage. What’s really outrageous is what you’ve done to kids. https://t.co/bGhVPPT7t7
