Tom Cotton Throws A Fit Because Health Officials Are Trying To Stop Republican COVID Deaths

https://www.politicususa.com/2021/07/24/tom-cotton-throws-a-fit-because-health-officials-are-trying-to-stop-republican-covid-deaths.html

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) complained that public health officials are too concerned about public health, as he seems to want people to die of COVID.

......

Cotton said, “No one elected the CDC. No one elected Tony Fauci to make these decisions. Advisors advise. Elected officials decide, and the American people elected Joe Biden, and the members of Congress, and our governors, and our state legislators to make these decisions for us. If you just turn these decisions over to a bunch of public health bureaucrats, of course, the only thing they’re going to consider is what they think is in the best interest of the public health. They not going to balance off interests like whether people can make a living, or put food on the table, or their kids can learn in school.”

......SNIP"

Did he just say that Biden won?

I invite him to volunteer.

He will get the same appreciation for his sacrifice as the other 625,000 sacrifices.

I sure hope the fire department shows up to adviser Tom how he might put out the fire if he so wishes

Of course, we have learned people like Cotton are more akin to sociopaths.
