Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Sunday refused to condemn former President Donald Trump's praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.

Trump, who has called Putin a "genius" for invading Ukraine, declined to speak out against the Russian dictator during a recent interview on Fox News.

On Sunday, ABC host George Stephanopoulos asked Cotton if he disagreed with the former president.

Okay George it is not hard to figure out why he will not say anything about that asshole living in Florida basically on the taxpayers dime, but you are speaking to another asshole, that signed a letter to undermine Obama with Iran......

2. Just

another talking head waste of space and oxygen.

3. My translation: Blah blah blah babble bleh bleh blah.

4. So afraid to rile the base, so afraid of being Trump's target.

What a slimy quisling piece of shit.

6. He won't condemn it because he doesn't. eom.

Trump owns Republicans.

5. I think it's the wrong approach,

Don't ask them if they condemn the invasion, ask them why they support the invasion, why they support Putin, why they support Trump?

Make every Republican own this, because they do. If we don't nail them they will try to blame president Biden.

8. Parenting classes teach that the child must own and acknowledge their choices and actions.

.

If they are given an out or another to pin the blame, they cannot being the process of change.

Once they acknowledge their action, then they own the time-out or punishment they are given.

Else, they will just assign the parent as the person who is punishing them, not that their actions resulted in said punishment. Taking it further, the child is to choose their punishment to hammer this home. If two siblings are involved, if the one kids does not choose an appropriate punishment, the other kid can pick one. This then forces the first kid to pick a punishment that is appropriate.

9. yuck. he speaks on behalf of kansas--that's why he can't condemn the words of trumpie

14. Not Kansas.

Arkansas.

[TomSlick]

16. I assume you meant Arkansas.

No, not everyone agrees with Trump or Cotton.

This is a very pro-Trump state but it is hardly true that we are all Trumpers.

18. yes i did. (can't walk and chew gum and type at the same time i guess) nt

10. Damn Tom, you can't have it both ways

Surely he knew there would be questions like this when he agreed to be on a Sunday show. He could have just avoided the press during the current crisis, but these fools just can't miss an opportunity to be in front of a camera even if it is to look like a spineless idiot.

11. What a coward!

12. Congrats, Tom! A photo of you now appears in most dictionaries next to "skeevy". nt

13. Maybe George has lost his touch

but it seems the follow up question would be 'I'm not asking what Trump thinks of Putin. What I'm asking is what YOU think of Trump praising Putin? To clear things up you're being asked what you think of Trump praising the organizer of this "naked war of aggression" as you phrased it?'

[notinkansas]

15. He also wouldn't answer the question of

whether he would support trump if he ran for reelection. Don't know if that's because Cotton plans to run or just not wanting to admit that he would endorse a criminal.

17. UnAmerican imposter Cotton needs to resign and return his salary. Nt
