Tom Cotton you cannot possibly be this stupid

I just saw Tom Cotton in front of the cameras say out loud that he didn’t see a 2nd strike on a defenseless ship but rather on 2 men that he saw trying the flip the boat back over, gather up the drugs and continue on to the United States😂😂😂. Senator that may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard out of a sitting senator’s mouth and thats saying something. Clearly you’ve never attempted to flip a boat in open water let alone a larger boat like these. Let alone if it did flip over how is a boat thats been hit by a mussel still able to “continue on” without taking on water?
