Sen. Cotton twists himself into a pretzel

Just because you can make an analogy doesnâ€™t mean itâ€™s a good oneâ€¦

Just because you can make an analogy doesn’t mean it’s a good one…

Tom Cotton: "Congress isn't notified when the FBI is going to arrest a drug trafficker or cyber criminal here in the US, nor should Congress be notified when the executive branch is executing arrests on indicted persons. And that's really what you can make the analogy to here."

End snips.

Either he knows the difference and thinks Americans are dumb, or he is dumb as a post, or he is auditioning for VP. IMHO.

Using law enforcement officers to make arrests within the US isn't the same as using the military to grab a foreign head of state and his wife from their house in the middle of the night .
Cottonhead putting forth a BS rational tells me he feels the need to find some way to justify their actions.
Just tell it like it is senator, otherwise it looks like you don't really believe Trump did the right thing.

Note: I'm not saying I support Trump here. I'm saying senator Cottonhead doesn't even know how to spin a good lie to support Trump's actions.
