Just because the family wanted them there doesn’t make it okay to break a law!! Tom Cotton is full of it!

[nancyross]

Tom Cotton just can't bring himself to say President Biden but keeps calling Trump the president.

[sandypaws]

He's not there for a political discussion. He's there to try to campaign for Trump.

[daedalusjones]

This guy Cotton is despicable. Absolutely shameless.

Pete Buttigieg needs to give this moderator a Master Class on how to win an interview! What a waste of my time!

[codym]

That was a pretty bad interview for Tom.

[CDN]

How can you give this man time to spew political rhetoric on national TV? A disgrace

[aliciaescobar]

We are looking at an intelligent man degrading himself to be on the Trump train. How sad😅

[snatched.]

this guy spent the entire time spinning everything the reporter says😂😂

[willtwain]

The media is a big problem. Kamala is presented by the media as a flip flopper on fracking, but, Donny is simply "moderating" his message on abortion.

[teamzissou]

As soon as I heard Welker welcome Cotton to the show, I knew I would be listening to more lies about Biden and Harris. This man is a disgrace.

[jeanredman-roberts]

Tom Cotton forgets that Trump and Pompeo negotiated a ridiculous abbreviated time table for Afghanistan withdrawal that set up the deaths of those servicemen, by design.

[sommmeguy]

Does Cotton have any shred of human dignity? Does the word liar come to mind whenever you hear him speak? How do these creatures get elected?

[dogs]

We should not give people that can except the truth airtime. We have to call them out and then we have to ask them to leave if they cannot accept the facts!

[berylman]

I'm just here to say that I absolutely DETEST Tom Cotton

[kerrialexander]

PLEASE @MSNBC, no more Tom Cotton, no more Lindsay Graham…these liars do not represent the entire GOP, do they?

[thomasforget]

What a waste to have this liar on your show!

[albrtajc]

The journalists, the Supreme Court, everybody is letting Trump get away with his BS. The voters are the last hope to send this very old and crazy man packing.

[christopherstopp]

Cotton - like most Republicans - tries to create his own version of facts.

[michaelakeenan]

I really don't like interviews with Tom Cotton - all he does is argue, contradict and outright lie....plus he never debates
