Tom Cotton Urges Dem Party Chair to Seek Help After Bizarre ‘Maggot-Infested’ Barb
freebeacon ^ | April 6, 2022 | Joseph Simonson

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) said he hopes the top official at the Democratic National Committee seeks help following a bizarre Wednesday morning rant in which the party official called the Arkansas senator a "little maggot-infested man."

Asked about the comment from DNC chair Jaime Harrison on MSNBC's Morning Joe, a spokesman for Cotton said he didn't even know who Harrison was until hearing his comment this morning but is now concerned about his well-being.

"While Senator Cotton was not familiar with Jamie Harrison before this morning," a Cotton spokesman told the Free Beacon, "he wishes him the best and hopes Jamie gets the help he needs."

(The assertion that Cotton was unaware of the DNC leader's existence prior to Wednesday morning is bolstered by the misspelling of Harrison's name in his statement to the Free Beacon.)

Harrison in his eye-brow raising rant singled out Cotton as the "lowest of the low" in the U.S. Senate.

"In a Senate where there's Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton is the lowest of the low," Harrison said before calling him a "maggot-infested man" and saying he "doesn't deserve to be in the United States Senate representing the good people of Arkansas."

Harrison is best known for losing a Senate election in South Carolina by more than 10 points in 2020 after raising $130 million. He was given the DNC post despite his election failure and has Reportedly been a disappointment in his first year on the job in the eyes of the White House.

A spokesman for the Republican National Committee called Harrison's Wednesday morning rant "a truly disgusting insult against a sitting United States senator."

"Harrison just called Sen. Tom Cotton, a U.S. senator and an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, a ‘maggot-infested man,'" the spokesman said. "Apparently, Harrison reserves his worst, most unhinged insults for America’s veterans."

The failed South Carolina politician made similar comments regarding Cotton on Tuesday, writing on social media that there is a "tiny, mold and maggot infested space where [Cotton's] heart is supposed to be."

Before his failed Senate run, Harrison made millions of dollars working for the Podesta Group as a lobbyist representing clients in the banking, pharmaceutical, and energy industries. The Podesta Group shuttered in 2017 during the Russiagate investigation after Special Counsel Robert Mueller found that the firm’s founder, Tony Podesta, failed to register as a foreign agent while he lobbied on behalf of Ukraine.

If El Rushbo were with us I guess he would just call that Democrat guy a:

“Dope smoking maggot infested FM type”

Until he gets right on the steal, he is going to have to disprove the infestation.

Harrison is simply taking Ted Kennedy and his type to a predictable end.

Who is “the White House” these days? Who is running The Biden Show? Is anyone?

Cotton must be over the target — or, she “wants to date” him.

I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard Rush and where I was when I heard he died.

He was a chunk of my life for a long time.

Greatly missed.

I have fond memories of that line and so many more of Rush’s barbs.

That line relates to radio in the early 1970’s the AM stations like the one’s Rush worked at made more money and the people working there wore the suits and ties they dressed professionally.

FM stations were on the air with exotic formats like album rock less formal making less money in those days.

His "replacements" aren't even close.

Him and Andrew could have one hell of a rodeo sex session. They could ruin a motel room. Th owners would have to call out the HazMat squad to decontaminate it in order for it to be demolished.
