Republican Sen. Tom Cotton ‘Don’t fall for it’: Arizona congressman and former Marine who gets the same intel as Tom Cotton warns some GOPers are exaggerating the Iran threat

Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas has accrued a resume tailor-made for a Republican politician: He leapt from a small-town Arkansas cattle farm to Harvard University and then Harvard Law School; he left a leading New York firm to join the military after George W. Bush s re-election; he was discharged after nearly eight years and two war-zone deployments as an Army captain and decorated hero including two commendation medals, a Bronze Star and a Ranger tab.
The claim: Special Forces took House Speaker Nancy Pelosi s laptop during riot at the U.S. Capitol
On Jan. 6, supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attack that forced lawmakers to flee their chambers and left five dead. The riot took place as Congress met to count electoral votes and confirm President-elect Joe Biden s victory.
During the attack, a laptop was stolen from the office of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, according to her aide, Drew Hammill. He noted on Twitter on Jan. 8 that the laptop was from a conference room and was only used for presentations.

On Wednesday, January 13, CNN host Jake Tapper was slammed on Twitter after he reportedly questioned the patriotism of Brian Mast, an Army veteran and double amputee who serves as the U.S. Representative for Florida s 18th congressional district, after he opposed the Democrats efforts to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time on the House floor. January 13 saw the House vote to impeach Trump for the second time making him the only U.S. president to ever be impeached twice. The resolution passed with 232 “Ayes”, 197 “Nays”, and four legislators abstaining from voting. Of the 232, ten names were those from the Republican party.
