Here's the condensed version of a scathing article I just read at Salon:
1. He penned an underhanded letter to the leaders of Iran that sparked the trending hashtag #47Traitors.
2. Senator Cotton said the only problem he has with Guantanamo Bay prison is that “there are too many empty beds.”
3. He has compared the negotiations of the UN Security Council (P5+1) with Iran to the “appeasement of Nazi Germany.”
4. He thinks the use of killer drones should be expanded.
5. He claims that “bombing makes us safer.”
6. He uses fear-mongering to call for a crackdown on immigrants and a clampdown on the Mexican border.
7. He received $700,000 for his senate campaign from the Emergency Committee for Israel.
8. As an Army Lieutenant in 2006, Cotton called for the prosecution of two New York Times journalists for espionage.
9. He thinks food-stamp recipients are “addicts.”
10. He has opposed legislation to expand women’s rights.
This guy is an early frontrunner for douchebag of the year, decade, and century. Let's wish him the best of luck with that.
