Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) is running from constituents like oh so many of his colleagues. Whether it is constituents wanting to talk about the incompetence of Betsy DeVos, the racism of Jeff Sessions or the consequences of repealing the Affordable Care Act, their phones are ringing off the hook and one by one they are closing their doors and locking them. They are now using the guise of “due to threats” — which is totally bunk. Notice they’ve also added a sign reading “Absolutely no photography or recording without permission” to the door. They are so afraid of having their own words recorded.
These constituents are angry, that’s for sure, but they are civil and respectful and certainly no threat. But, take a look for yourself at these three “threatening” constituents trying to simply schedule a meeting with the staff members at Tom Cotton’s Little Rock office.
And Republicans, if you are reading this, there is a way to make this all stop. Dump the nominations of Betsy Devos and Jeff Sessions and fix the gosh darn Affordable Care Act instead of destroying it. Your constituents are clear and united and we will NOT BE DIVIDED! Get on board or find a new line of work.
