Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has accused public health officials of looking after the interests of public health.

The shocking allegation was made on Friday’s edition of America Reports with John Roberts, who somehow did not immediately fall out of his chair at Cotton’s claim. (In fairness to the senator, he said it should be up to elected officials, not bureaucrats to make decisions about public health.)

Roberts played a clip of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) spoke out against compulsory mask mandates for schoolchildren, saying “We’re not doing that in Florida.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki called the decision “greatly concerning.”

Roberts turned to Cotton and said, “So you’ve got the governor of Florida saying, ‘I don’t think this is the right thing to do,’ and the White House coming down on him for that. Is that the White House’s role?”

1. People like Tom Cotton remind me that going to Harvard doesn't mean you're smart.

3. I love that line

Everyone I have ever met in business tells the same joke at dinner. They had a humble start and bam into Harvard. Then someone will ask “we’ll how did you get in?” To which they say with a shit eating grin “because I’m fucking smart.” Every laughs and laughs. I always want to kill it and say after the glory is showered and the questions stop- “so, why are here at dinner with us?” One of these days!

2. It reads like The Borowitz Report. Truly. nt

4. Damn, Skippy

That's just pure unadulterated cotton-fluff genius, Ma'am....

No wonder this bird's a Senator from Arkansas.
