Is this the level of education in America?! Amazing😂

[goldengilmaky]

Cotton was like “I am going to make you a Chinese citizen before you leave this room.” This is nothing short of embarrassing.

I’m an immigrant Filipino and an American as well. So glad that I studied in the Philippines until I was 12 and learned basic geography before I got here. They didn’t even do their research. 😂😅

Child safety is the responsibility of these pathetic parents. Not these companies

[chunhinyu]

Cotton: Have you order Chinese food before?
Chew: sometimes.
Cotton: Got you!!! You're a Chinese spy!!!!

[laopang]

Politicians in the US are most ignorant about the larger world.

[OnyxYeti]

That's bullshit to keep asking this man over and over! I've served side by side with the Singaporean Air Force members numerous times, and they are great people, very hard workers, very meticulous and very patriotic to their country!

Singapore is a separate and independent country. It is not a state of China or Malaysia. Singapore gained independence from Malaysia in 1965 and has since developed into a sovereign nation. It is located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula and is known for its thriving economy, multicultural society, and efficient governance.

Not only crazy but showing the world what stupidity means

[lingth]

Senator Tom Cotton, having lived in America of which country nationality are you of?
Do you have an American passport?
Have you applied for other passports besides American?
Have you ever applied for EU citizenship or Canadian citizenship?
Dumb questions..

[dragonboy]

This shows that he is a Strong Man. He has the Politician Calibre . His Composure is outstanding. An Asset as A Singaporean.❤

[lammihownishylla]

America never fails to embarrass itself😂. If these are the leaders then imagine what their people go through

[rhonda]

This is so embarrassing. Just when you thought the Congress of the United States could not show any more ignorance and low-intelligence - a new day arises and their ignorance abounds.

[weisong]

Why didn’t the TikTok CEO ask Cotton if he was Putin’s cousin? If Cotton asked back why, Mr. Chew could tell him because he looks closer to Putin than he does.

[GeorgiaAndrea]

So Singapore, if you still think America is your ‘great ally’, think again.😂😂😂

[avia-n]

Same thing if asking the senator whether he think his ancestors were not guilty stealing the land from the first people.

[kts]

As a Mongolian, I find this attitude of a U.S Senator extremely rude, uneducated, and unintelligent. If Harvard trains such an uneducated rude bully, then the United States' Ivy League university is not so different from the inner city school in the south side of Chicago where troubled and at-risk adolescents go. This Senator named Tom Cotton has the behavior of an at-risk student in inner city school of the United States. The United States' Senators need retention programs that are similar for at-risk youth whose characteristics include emotional or behavioral problems, truancy, low academic performance, showing a lack of interest for academics, and expressing a disconnection from the school environment.

[hautaukhang]

Tom Cotton studied at Harvard University and yet he does not even know Singapore is a separate independent country from China. His brain is full of water. 🤣🤣🤣

[enaya]

Wow. How can some of these people be senators and be this racist.

It's unbelievable. What has this world come to.

[mysterio]

I have American friend and she told me that as an American normally hates people from overseas. I cannot forget that she told me that to my face.
