Sen. Tom Cotton recently appeared on Fox News Channel, warning about what another four years of Biden’s presidency would entail for the nation. Cotton illustrated that as tensions grow between global adversaries such as Russia and China, the U.S. desperately needs strong leadership.
The GOP congressman claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are hoping for Biden to win the election later this year as America has become significantly weakened under his presidency.
“Martha, what I think Putin and Xi are thinking is they hope Joe Biden wins because, for three and a half years, America’s had a ‘kick me’ sign on our back because of Joe Biden’s weak, failed presidency,” he explained. “I agree with what the former president just said, this invasion in Ukraine would not have happened if he were president, but in a way, I think he’s being too modest.”
The Arkansas Republican further stated that the juxtaposition between the Trump and Biden administrations is so apparent that many Americans long for the “peace, stability, and prosperity” enjoyed when Trump was in office.
Cotton said, “He should be able to say it did not happen when he was president, because we’re in a unique situation this year, Martha. For the first time in more than a century, the American people have a choice between two presidents. So, they don’t have to speculate about what a challenger might do in office. All we have to do is look back to what President Trump did in office and remember those days. And that’s why he’s leading right now, because most Americans fondly remember the peace, stability, and prosperity we enjoyed for four years.”
The Republican senator also implied that Putin and Jinping appear to be emboldened by Democratic leadership at the presidential level. He continued, “By contrast, Vladimir Putin seems to invade Ukraine only when Democrats are president — Barack Obama first and now Joe Biden. And he does that just like Xi Jinping takes advantage of America during the Obama-Biden years because they’re not strong and confident in the defense of America’s interest.” Watch the interview below:

Sen. Tom Cotton has consistently championed conservative causes in Congress while attempting to hold the Biden administration accountable as America seemingly descends into dysfunction. The American Tribune recently reported on Cotton’s introduction of legislation that would end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.
“Criminals and terrorists have no right to take advantage of our citizenship laws for their own gain. This bill will protect United States citizenship and ensure it cannot be given under false pretenses,” Cotton explained to Breitbart News.
The senator sounded off on the Biden administration for allowing rampant illegal immigration. “This plan is a joke. I would say it’s like closing the barn door after the horses are already out, because four years ago, Joe Biden invited migrants from all across the third world to come to America, and if they could get here, they could stay but it’s not even closing the barn door. Joe Biden is now saying to the cartels and to potential terrorists that as long as there’s not more than 75,000 illegal aliens crossing our border a month, then you’re still welcome to come,” he said.
