Fascist weirdo Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton on Sunday claimed it was “obvious” that convicted felon former President Trump was “making a joke” when he told his fans “You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore… In four years, you won’t have to vote again,” at some cult gathering on Friday, with Cotton immediately pivoting to a desperate smear of the shit Harris said in her first failed campaign in 2019 about banning fracking and defunding the police as Cotton had no doubt memorized verbatim from the oppo research memos sent to him by his overlords in the NRSC.

Cotton at least held it together better than fat Quisling New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu:

What a fucking worm. Sununu does however get closer to what Trump maybe could have – even probably actually in that specific moment did mean – that all he cares about is getting elected one more time and staying out of prison and he does not now and never will give a fuck about Cotton or Sununu or the future of the Republican Party and American conservatism whichever way the fat bastard’s career in politics ends. The fact that Trump has before in other ways unsubtly hinted that if he wins he would ignore the 22nd Amendment and run again or more likely simply cancel the 2028 election and remain in office for the rest of his life of course makes this fair game to ignore that “nuance.” What’s funny is that Sununu and Cotton are forced to ignore it too, because even if that more charitable read is narrowly accurate and Trump would relinquish power in 2029, that still obviously a fucking terrible message to their voters that they can stop turning out after.

Also fuck both Jake Tapper and Martha Raddatz for dropping the pliers and moving on instead of asking again at least once, especially after Raddatz led off with it and Tapper ran the clip.
