Sens. Tom Cotton and Chuck Schumer reportedly got into an angry confrontation on the Senate floor Friday over Senate Democrats delaying the confirmation of Rep. Mike Pompeo for CIA director, The Weekly Standard reports.
Cotton was reportedly irate with Schumers delay of the confirmation vote and loudly accosted him on the Senate floor. Schumer retorted that the Senate had never confirmed a CIA director on Inauguration Day, adding that Senate Republicans also did not do so for former President Barack Obama. He continued that Cotton would have known this precedent if he had been in the Senate eight years previously.
Eight years ago, I was getting my ass shot at in Afghanistan, Cotton reportedly shot back. He continued, So dont talk to me about where I was 8 years ago. Cotton served two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan in the U.S. Army as a member of the 101st Airborne Division.
The Trump administration is similarly irate with Senate Democrats over the Pompeo machinations.

There will a point when dems figure out the GOP has a real leader and will not roll over and cower in fear when idiot dem lies...
Dems will be called out and rebuked...
About damn time...
Just heard Pompeo is confirmed.
Wonderful. Enough of the previous, “My good friend across the aisle”, crap. This is war and we’re not rolling over any more every time a Dem verbally abuses us. Thank You, God!
GOOD NEWS!
I don't believe that he ever said a decent thing about a Democrat.
Apparently the Vote is happening now.
FINALLY!
we have Republicans that will stand up and PUSH BACK at these Democrat bullies.
For decades Republicans have caved and supplicated themselves to Liberal harassment and BS.
No longer.
I think Trump will usher in a new younger generation of Republicans and non-Liberals that will push back and fight back........ HARD.
The embarrassing era of Bush and Romney is over.
For another example of what an embarrassing assclown W. Bush is, do a Youtube search for: Trump inauguration Bush poncho.
It's like the man (a former President at a Presidential inauguration ceremony) doesn't even realize he's on worldwide camera looking like a doofus wearing plastic on his head.
Great response by Cotton, but let’s be honest about Schumer. He probably wasn’t impressed, and like many of his fellow libs, thinks most service members are uneducated hicks.

Even a Constitutional Amendment requiring honorable military service as a prerequisite for election to Congress wouldn’t screen out the John Kerrys and Charlie Rangels.

Schumer is about to rolled over by the Trump Train.
He is such a jack-ass.
Bump to that.
Now that my long-time favorite US Senator, Jeff Sessions, is moving onto the DOJ, Sen. Cotten will take his place as my favorite!
Every single Democrat Senate leader is an absolute scumbag.
From Daschle to Scummer.
A tip of the beret to Cotton.
And NY loves him for it. Sad.
Crush these Anti-Americans by publicly pointing out their refusal to support America.
Show the whole country their inner Kapernik.
Snappy and insulting comeback! Bravo Mr. Cotton!
