Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called on President Trump to concede his election loss to President-elect Joe Biden, saying he should "quit misleading" the American people.

“It’s past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence,” Cotton said in a statement Wednesday evening.

“And the senators and representatives who fanned the flames by encouraging the president and leading their supporters to believe that their objections could reverse the election results should withdraw those objections,” he continued.

The remarks from Cotton, a key Trump ally, came hours after a mob of Trump supporters forced their way into the Capitol building around 2 p.m., prompting lawmakers to evacuate and suspend their tally of the Electoral College votes certifying Biden's victory.

You are right. It is over. I don’t expect, nor would I blame him for just leaving the keys on the kitchen sink and leaving. Somewhere far away for safety reasons.

President Trump has done nothing wrong.

The violence was brought by the Antifa thugs.

Support President Trump.

MAGA !!!

“Thank you. Nothing Trump has done or said in response to today’s events justifies the reactions by the social media giants, MSM, politicians, etc. And he certainly doesn’t deserve to be removed over it.”

That’s been true since Trump decided to run.

Yes, Hawley was weak. The only staunch supporter of the Constitution was the Representative from New York, Stefanik. She didn’t blink. Somebody with guts and conviction. Hawley has been scared off. The violence today didn’t help the cause.

Exactly name names and details - just put it all out there. If the mdeia wants to ignore or say its not true, honest people will know what’s true or not. Best way for Trump to honor his commitment to the country - expose all the dirt and corruption he can. A true patriot fights to the end and he has been a great fighter.

But Trump DID repudiate violence and Twitter removed it.

“Guys and Gals, there’s only about 10 senators in the Republican Party”

I am not sure you can name five after today. This is all orccustrated to kill Trump for 2024.

Full transparency, period, no substitutes.

You hold on to that dream. Americans aren’t going to forget this. Trump will be remembered for opening our eyes to the truth about what has happened to our country.

“Moreover, unless something miraculous occurs he’ll almost certainly be remembered among the worst if not the very worst president in U.S. history.”

Two points

Not among some historians.

2021-2024 could be very bad, really, really bad.

They are so bold and aggressive but are quiet little sheep when it comes to Biden’s Foreign Money Cash machine.

They are Republicans - but won’t say a peep about the Biden Family business.

Little Tommy Cotton attended a Never Trumper confab at an exclusive resort off the coast of Georgia three or four years ago.

Paul Ryan and other Never Trump scumbags were there, and when I heard that Cotton was there, I became suspicious of him and have been ever since.

Besides, television is a visual medium. A guy who looks like Icabod Crane is never going to be elected president.

FU Cotton, you traitor!

Hello? He was voted most admired about a week ago. He has done more good for US citizens in only 4 years than any other president except maybe one. The only way he will be remembered as one of the worst presidents is IF YOU and others let the media and historians paint him that way. It’s up to us to keep the TRUTH alive into the future. Kinda like when a loved one passes and you keep the positive good about them alive by talking of that.

NO way will dems sustain accomplishemnts of Trump, economically, cities will get worse, taxes will financially devote people etc. Trump had us doing well. He will only be seen as bad by fools and weak minded/wishy-washy people.
