If you've been watching congressional members voting habits and behavior, this doesn't come as a surprise.

quote:

Senator Cotton sits on the board of International Republican Institute, which reportedly received $130M in taxpayer money last year—much of it from USAID.

The group actively works against Trump's policies while funding UN refugee programs.

IRI spent $12M on travel and $14M on "benefits" last year.

They even provide housing allowances, according to their tax forms.

Now Cotton's blocking Trump's DOD pick. Funny how that works.

Cotton has always been sketchy.

Says the right things. Votes MAGA when it doesn't matter. Is a pain in the arse when it does matter. Admittedly Kennedy does the same thing.

I think Mike Benz went into these frickers at the IRI on the Rogan show. Rubio is or was a board member there.

Elon was giving the RINO's a chance to act right with these confirmations etc. before exposing all of their dirty laundry. Honestly, it needs to be exposed anyway. If you don't root out this scandalous shite on both sides it will never be eliminated.

I've tried to advise the great voters of Arkansas years ago when he was brought in. Met him at the coon supper and thought he was a fake then and I'm glad to see my gut feeling was correct all those years ago.

well not really glad, but atleast it's exposed and in the light.

Is that confirmed or just a suspicion?

The number of DC republicans who are closet cases seems too high to be an accident. Certainly feels like they go looking for office seeking republicans who are closeted so they can use their sexual preference as a blackmail tool.

Which is why he was such a strange pick.

That he was approved 99-0 tells you they think he’s one of them and probably shouldn’t be trusted.

the data republican has posted this info.

Gateway Pundit

quote:

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) is reportedly working behind the scenes to obstruct the confirmation of Elbridge Colby to a key position in the Department of Defense.

Colby was nominated by President Donald Trump in December to serve as the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy alongside Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.

“Elbridge “Bridge” Colby will serve as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy,” Trump wrote in his announcement last year.

“A highly respected advocate for our America First foreign and defense policy, Bridge will work closely with my outstanding Secretary of Defense Nominee, Pete Hegseth, to restore our Military power, and achieve my policy of PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. Bridge served with distinction in the Pentagon in my First Term, leading the effort on my landmark 2018 Defense strategy. He graduated from Harvard College and Yale Law School, and will make an excellent addition to my team, who will, Make America Great Again!”

what better training program for a politician than living a lie your entire life.

Just off the top of my head you have rumors about:
-Graham
-Rubio
-Pence
-Cotton
-Gowdy

I’m sure there are a lot more who are just below the radar or whom I’m not tracking.

Cotton is a warmonger. So, not a shock. Neocon GOPe who periodically tries to masquerade as an America First conservative.

You think Arkansas is electing an out of the closet twink? I don't know if he's gay or not but the wife and kids bit have nothing to do with it.
