Sen. Tom Cotton on TBIs: " he's not dismissing their injuries, he's describing their injuries"

Tom Cotton is an embarrassment for Arkansas. As a citizen of the Natural State I apologize to our nation. I hope we do better next time. Himself a vet, he fell in line with POTUS and downplayed injuries to our current servicemen.


On CBS, @SenTomCotton defends Trump downplaying traumatic brain injuries suffered by US troops as mere "headaches," saying, "he's not dismissing their injuries, he's describing their injuries."

Unbelievable.

when he was talking to me about something his then current girlfriend had done. He said "She's not a mean person, she's just stupid."

He thought that would clear things up too. Just like Tom Cotton and Trump.
