Cotton Statement on Iranian Protests

December 28, 2017

Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the protests against the Iranian regime in the city of Mashhad:

"Even after the billions in sanctions relief they secured through the nuclear deal, the ayatollahs still can't provide for the basic needs of their own people-perhaps because they've funneled so much of that money into their campaign of regional aggression in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen. The protests in Mashhad show that a regime driven by such a hateful ideology cannot maintain broad popular support forever, and we should support the Iranian people who are willing to risk their lives to speak out against it."

Pitiful, simply pitiful. Projection is not your friend. Remember, you are the one with your foot in your mouth.

Iran is involved in Iraq and Syria to fight ISIS. That’s not aggression. Their involvement in Yemen is minimal and being wildly exaggerate.

I’m getting sick of this constant drumbeat of war propaganda over Iran while the borders are wide open. Trump’s first year in office saw a massive increase in immigration.

I’ll second that comment! It always amazes me that there are people here on FR who don’t have the mental acuity to take a bent quarter out of a Coke machine, let alone put together any cogent thoughts!
Then again their abject stupidity shows them for what they are, and give us the “moron’s backdrop” against which to measure the situation being discussed.

I’m sitting in my living room watching the Duffy’s go by on Newport Harbor. Going to be Sunny and Hot today - no early morning fog.

If you like McCrazy, you’ll love Cottton. They are both big gov’t RINOs

The next time we may happen to meet at a race track, I’ll make sure I have a bent quarter in my pocket for you! WONDERFUL! Geez, that was funny.

The joke used to involve a dime, but I had to “adjust it for inflation!”

About 60 days to Driver’s School, then the 2018 Racing Season is upon us here!
It’s going to be an interesting year what with the Runoffs being at Sonoma. For years national didn’t want to come “all the way out here,” but the Runoffs at Laguna Seca three years ago, were a major success. In just seven days, we gave the drivers 100 degree weather, rain, fog, and everything in between.

Yep, the weather there will separate the wheat from the chaff. We have the Roar before the 24 here next week.

Actually the “limp wrist” was for O-hole, and I guess I had a slight stroke or aneurism because I could have sworn I read Corker, not Cotton...

we should support the Iranian people who are willing to risk their lives to speak out against it."

The best way to support the Iranian people is to mind our own business. Any revolution that is perceived to be promoted by the USA is dead and the mullahs can rally support by playing the defender of their 4,000 year old nation agianst the arrogant Americans.
