Quantity Two Home Republican Says GOP Will not Take Motion Towards Gaetz Until ‘One thing Actually Formal’ Occurs

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) calls for several US military units to be called up to quell protests that have reportedly taken place in over 100 cities across America. Cotton, a strong ally of President Donald Trump, says the “violent protests” are not protests at all, but “domestic terrorism”.

Cotton, a Harvard trained attorney who served on active duty reserving the army captain in Iraq and Afghanistan, called for “zero tolerance for this destruction.” He had a lot to say about the protests, but only mentioned George Floyd once in passing.

George Floyd deserves justice. And our first amendment protects peaceful protests against his wrongful death.

But this violence is not a protest, it is domestic terrorism.

Cotton calls the demonstrators “violent criminals” and said “Antifa” had to face the “101st Airborne Division”.

Anarchy, riot and looting must end tonight.

When local law enforcement agencies are overwhelmed and in need of assistance, let’s see how tough these anti-fascist terrorists are when they face the 101st Airborne Division.

We don’t need tolerance for this destruction.

He continued, “And, if necessary, 10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cavalry, 3rd Infantry – whatever it takes to restore order. No quarter for insurgents, anarchists, rioters and looters. “

The 101st Airborne, also known as the Screaming Eagles, is a light airborne division of the Army.
The 10th mountain specializes in fighting in mountainous and arctic terrain.
The 82nd Air Force specializes in parachute attacks.
The 1st Cavalry has a horse division as well as infantry, air assault and armored divisions.

Cotton’s comments were despised.

I went to 10th Mountain and was disgusted that you even dragged my big split into this disgusting tweet

Warmongers like you, Cotton, shouldn’t have a place in government. You’ve been useless since you were in DC.

What in God’s name is wrong with you?

They don’t use the US military against their own people.
