Tom Cotton Rips Harry Reid’s ‘Cancerous Leadership’

Tom Cotton Rips Into Reid From Senate Floor: ‘Vulgar, Incoherent Ramblings,’ ‘Cancerous Leadership’ (Mediaite)

Republican Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton pulled no punches in attacking Democratic Senator Harry Reid on the Senate floor Wednesday, slamming him for “outrageous slander” and “cancerous leadership.”

“As a junior senator, I preside over the Senate. I usually do in the morning, which means I’m forced to listen to the bitter, vulgar, incoherent ramblings of the Minority Leader,” Cotton said. “Normally, like other Americans, I ignore them. I can’t ignore them today, however.”

Cotton tore into Reid for stalling a vote on a crucial defense bill, even though the bill eventually passed 98-0. “When was the last time the Minority Leader read a bill? It was probably an electricity bill,” Cotton quipped.
