Sen. Tom Cotton: ‘Woke Champions’ on the Left in America Turning a Blind Eye to China
Breitbart ^ | 6 Jul 2020 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 07/06/2020 7:38:59 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) slammed the left in America for denouncing the United States while turning a blind eye to China’s myriad human rights violations.

“The Chinese Communist Party is an evil regime. … They are running concentration camps in Northwestern China, and they are persecuting Christians throughout their region, and they have long forced abortions on women or sterilization on women,” Cotton said in an interview Monday with Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow.

“Yet many of the woke champions on the left in America, like so many NBA players led by Lebron James, turn a blind eye to their crimes, at the same time we denounce our own police officers, which I think is a disgraceful and shameful contrast,” he said.

The NBA has been particularly careful about not wanting to offend the Chinese Communist Party, since China is a profitable market for the NBA. After Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey tweeted #StandwithHongKong, he was forced to apologize.

Cotton listed off a number of ways China’s behavior has affected the world, not just its own people.

China has unleashed a pandemic on the world, and taken U.S. jobs and U.S. factories for decades while “too many politicians in Washington stood by, ” he said,

“They have broken their fundamental obligations to Hong Kong. When they received Hong Kong from Great Britain, they promised to preserve its unique character for 50 years. … Years later, that’s gone.”

“They in essence invaded India, the world’s biggest democracy, killing 20 Indian soldiers in a brutal attack. They’re conducting threatening air and naval maneuvers in the vicinity of Taiwan and Japan,” he said.

I just watched the movie “Idiocracy” for the first time in the last few months.

Check it out as the Biden future on film.

I’m not sure what to do, but please figure out what to do and do it so we can avoid that near future.

They are not turning a blind eye to China.

They are being funded by China.

Senators Cotton and Hawley are destined for the presidency.

Both are speaking out against REAL enemies, both foreign and domestic.

“They are being funded by China.”

So true.

Likely motivation to dwell on Rooskie influence in the US.

[Like the CPUSA is not a wholly owned subsidiary of the ‘Rat Party Party [sic]]]

The ultimate reality of the Left is that they serve communist masters.

They have been turning these blind eyes since Useful Idiots were praising Lenin.

I believe it is China which is the threat.

For far too long, it has been Russia demonized.

China is a far bigger threat, and it has OODLES of sold out Americans on their side.

I just hope shoppers in the USA and other non-communist country’s will always check the origin of the products they purchase. If the label say china, back on the shelf.

I am sure that I am not the only person who strongly suspects that the ChiComs released the CV-19 virus as a ‘dry run’.

I think Cotton is a logical successor to Trump when the time comes.

Hopefully Sen’s Hawley and Cotton are the future if the GOP. We have to reject globalism and Free Trade.
