Donald Trump has also pushed for labeling protesters as domestic terrorists.
On Monday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) called for the deployment of the U.S. military, specifically the 101st Airborne division, to American cities in response to protests against police violence.
The comments were made during an appearance on "Fox & Friends."
Cotton reiterated and added to those comments in tweets later in the day, writing, "No quarter for insurrectionists, anarchists, rioters, and looters" and noting his desire for the possible involvement of the "10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cav, 3rd Infantrywhatever it takes to restore order."

This POS is trying to set himself up to run for the office of the presidency in 2024, this is the same ass***e that wrote a letter to the Iranian government that had 46 right wing libertarian republicans signed to that letter.................as far as I am concerned he is a disgraced to have worn the uniform...........he tried in 2015 to undermine a sitting president, and the media should be hounding this ass***e still today on that issue..........and should be hounded about how you voted to keep in office a team that was and still is a criminal operations in the white house, that has corrupted the DOj and other agencies.........

Sadly, laws don't seem to matter to this entire group of RepubliCONs. Neither does the constitution.
They will find a way around Posse Comitatus, you can bet on it.
Do you remember when Cheney/Rumsfeld tried to remove Posse Comitatus from the laws during W's administration??????
Can you even imagine the carnage if Trumphumper Rangers were released on every major city in the nation.......
We are very close to Hitlers SS, Gestapo, Storm Trooper mentality.........

Unfortunately, he lurks in Arkansas, and I don't see that state pulling it's collective head out of it's ass anytime soon. These Southern red states are bringing the whole nation down to the sewer level. Too bad we didn't cut them loose after we kicked their asses in their treasonous Civil War back in 1865.
My apologies to progressives and decent folks that live in those Southern states, but had we done so....perhaps you would be living in The United States that strives to be better, instead of living in a state that continues to yearn for the days of slavery and pride themselves in their treasonous history.
Cotton is a cyst of a politician in our Congress today. No way to cut him loose.
