AR-Sen: Sen. Tom Cotton (R) Says Slavery Is A “Necessary Evil” In His Crusade Against The NYTs
The Arkansas Republican senator Tom Cotton has called the enslavement of millions of African people “the necessary evil upon which the union was built”.
Cotton, widely seen as a possible presidential candidate in 2024, made the comment in an interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette published on Sunday.
He was speaking in support of legislation he introduced on Thursday that aims to prohibit use of federal funds to teach the 1619 Project, an initiative from the New York Times that reframes US history around August 1619 and the arrival of slave ships on American shores for the first time.
Unfortunately this asshole doesn’t have a Democratic opponent in deep red Arkansas but luckily for us, we have a tone of great candidates and opportunities to flip the Senate along with winning the White House.
