Later, she asked if Cotton would “call for an independent, bipartisan [investigation] of President Trump, his campaign, and his administration,” and was met with wild cheers from the rest of the audience.

and either fell back on him doing "what's best for Arkansans" or "we had an election and it was decided" or "he (Drumpf) files financial statements (or something similar) every year".

I liked the guy who quoted the % rate at which he voted with McConnell for the GOP agenda and how that gave him GOP cred. And he whined about the 2 times he didn't vote with the rest his party (ignoring all the other times).

They took him out over DeVos too.

I suppose in the end the fury of those betrayed will finally oust people like Cotton from office. Too bad they weren't paying close attention to what Republicans have been saying all these years.

So proud of a few friends who were there tonight. They said a lot of people got standing ovations for their questions and comments and the very few Cotton supporters who were there didn't even ask questions.
