'Get the hell out of here!': Tom Cotton ripped over his 'asinine' comments about Putin and Biden

During her appearance on MSNBC"s "The Sunday Show," former Republican Party campaign consultant Tara Seymater went off on an epic rant attacking Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) for trying to blame President Joe Biden for Vladimir Putin's saber-rattling as he reportedly prepares to invade Ukraine.

During his own rant, Cotton claimed, "For four years when we had a Republican president who Democrats like Joe Biden accused of being in Vladimir Putin's pocket, and for some reason Vladimir Putin didn't invade Ukraine. It's because the only way to confront an aggressive autocrat like Putin or Xi Jinping is to show strength from the very beginning. That's the way to deter the kind of conflict that is likely about to happen in Ukraine."

"Tara, what's he talking about? " host Jonathan Capehart asked.

"Let's go back to the videotape, shall we?" Setmayer replied. "If it really means showing strength means kissing the ass of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un, well, then I guess that Donald Trump put America first."

That they have to suppress who they really are to avoid being found out.

Plus, everything you said, too.

It's why they all took trips to Moscow during TFG's time.

Had to sign Putin's contract of treasonous employment in blood.

Promising to walk away from it if countries didn’t cough up more “protection” money.

"For four years when we had a Republican president who Democrats like Joe Biden accused of being in Vladimir Putin's pocket, and for some reason Vladimir Putin didn't invade Ukraine."

Cotton claimed, and I'll translate, For four years, when pResident tRump was in Vladimir Putin's Pocket, Joe Biden was a private citizen. For some reason Vladimir Putin didn't invade when Trump was president, but waited until #45's number was about up, in NY, in GA, and with the J6th committee."
