Tom Cotton Calls out ‘Influencers’ on the Right for Anti-Semitism: You Sound Like Rashida Tlaib

EXCERPT:

COTTON: “These influencers are perceived to be on the right, and maybe they once were, maybe they once wrote for center-right magazines, maybe they once worked for center-right websites or media companies, but I do not agree that I share a political movement or a political party with anyone who traffics in anti-Semitism. (Applause) And for that matter, doesn't just traffic in anti-Semitism, or at least adjacent to anti-Semitism, shares Liz Warren's economic policies or Rashida Tlaib's foreign policy, because if you notice, these so-called influencers, like anti-Semites usually do, often have a deep antipathy to free market capitalism. Whatever their views once were, they have since adopted, indeed, Liz Warren's economic policies. We also, as I said, share Rashida Tlaib's foreign policy, which could be summed up, as Jeane Kirkpatrick once said, blame America first. They always blame America first, if they're not blaming Israel first.”
