The irresponsibility of this "senator" is unbelievable. To disseminate disinformation like this during a national health emergency is not only foolhardy, it's downright DANGEROUS.

1. Where's your degree, Tommy?

2. Very irresponsible of him. Did you see where Trump called

for an investigation into the whole bio weapon conspiracy?

5. They must all get their news from the same source... Infowars.

[dewsgirl]

8. Of course. It is very scary though, I just learned several states

including FL.(my state), NY and others are refusing to release information about, or even confirm cases, this is only feeding into these conspiracies.

[Dennis Donovan]

9. That, too, is dangerous

Bad info or no info, government, and those who are in it, need to be careful and responsible with what they say and don't say.

[Ms. Toad]

16. Got a cite for that?

My understanding is that cases are confirmed by CDC testing, and it is CDC that releases information about confirmed cases.

[dewsgirl]

17. Here is Florida.

19. Thanks. Sounds like they ARE reporting confirmed cases -

and perhaps even total suspected, just not geographical data or those being tested.

3. But Norman Bates has a reputation of lacking credibility.

6. It's from animals, Tommy

Repubs don't seem to want reality to get in the way of nonsense

7. Best Twitter Comment...

That's funny because I think Tom Cotton was originated in a super lab in Stupidtown.

[sakabatou]

10. Someone give Tommy a tinfoil hat

[shockey80]

11. Tom Cotton is a fucking asshole.

There is no other way to put it.

[Iliyah]

12. Asians are being bullied . . .

harassed and attacked because of this bullshit.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

13. He's got reality confused with a movie he once watched

[Midnight Writer]

14. Tom Cotton is a Rhodes Scholar. He is not stupid. He is a lying manipulative conservative politician

He also wrote the Ayatollahs of Iran urging them to not negotiate any peace deals with Obama. Treasonous, in my view.

[moondust]

15. Without any facts,

how does he know the virus wasn't created in one of those U.S. labs he mentions?

[spinbaby]

18. This rumor has been all over Twitter for weeks

No evidence whatsoever, but that’s not going to stop the tinfoilers.
