Sen. Cotton: The Capitol Should Not Be Guarded Like a Fortress

‘But we should not turn it into a compound like so many federal buildings in Washington already are’

EXCERPT:

COTTON: "Remember, this is the people’s house. It should not be a fortress. It has to be guarded, it has to be guarded at critical moments like on inaugurations or states of the union or joint sessions where we welcome foreign heads of state, and that force posture has to be geared towards the actual threat. But we should not turn it into a bunkered compound like so many federal buildings in Washington already are."
