Hewitt, who is one of several conservative MSNBC hires who have been irritating the channel's loyal progressive viewership, also appeared in Allen's story claiming that both Cotton and Pompeo "like and listen to the president."
Cotton is probably the most militaristic U.S. elected official. He was the sole senator to vote against the deal that the former Obama administration worked out with Iran and several American allies to partially lift internationally imposed sanctions on the Shiite nation.
The Arkansas senator's approach to Trump has been quite different from other right-wing foreign policy hawks who have long believed that the New York real estate tycoon does not agree with their overall interest in military intervention in other countries' affairs.
While Trump did speak against the disastrous Iraq invasion advocated by neoconservatives and their allies, even during his campaign, one needed to only look at his attitudes toward North Korea and Iran to see that Trump was never serious about trying to re-orient Republican foreign policy toward the realism it once embraced under Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
