Tom Cotton Blamed Democrats For A Trump Crime Bill & Twitter Users Had A Lot To Say

Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) bizarrely attacked Democrats on Wednesday for supporting criminal justice reform legislation aimed at reducing the size of America’s prison population.

Sadly for him, the First Step Act — which Cotton was condemning — was actually signed into law by former President Donald Trump in 2018.

“It’s your party who voted in lock step for the First Step Act, that let thousands of violent felons on the street who have now committed innumerable violent crimes,” Cotton said during a speech in the Senate.

“The First Step Act, the Republicans were in the majority,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who co-sponsored the legislation, responded incredulously, adding that it was also co-sponsored by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

This was literally one of the only things Trump claimed as an actual achievement. I seem to recall Jared and Ivanka boasting about it a lot.
