Tom Cottons Perfect Response to Town Hall Attendee Who Says Shes Not a Paid Protester

By Cortney OBrien Yet another politician faced a fiery town hall this week as tensions flare over the Trump administrations agenda. All over the country constituents are flocking to town halls to disrupt their representatives homecomings. If questions do end up being asked they are often shouted. Seeing the unreceptive welcome Republicans are receiving President Trump blamed many of the disruptions on liberal trolling. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer echoed Trumps sentiments insisting the protesters were paid professionals. The latest hostile town hall occurred in Springdale Arkansas Wednesday night when Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) traveled home to hear from the locals. When he offered the microphone to the attendees one woman made a point of saying she was not a paid protester. Her remarks were met with raucous applause but Cottons response was worthy of a standing ovation. What a perfect answer. Cotton is there to represent all Arkansans regardless of whether or not they like him. He expounded on that point in an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt Thursday morning noting that he is not afraid to oppose the presidents policies when he believes they are bad for his state. So you dont always see those in the national media but you know last night is not about the national media Hugh Cotton said. Last night was about Arkansans. And as I when someone was complaining about Donald Trump I said look you know I will support Donald Trumps policies when theyre good for Arkansas and I will oppose them when theyre bad for Arkansas. I think theyre going to be good for Arkansas a lot more often than Barack Obamas were. But in the end last night and what I do in the Senate is not about Donald Trump. Its about us as Arkansans. Of course some moments were not worthy of even a golf clap. At one point when a Cotton supporter thanked him for his Army service and said most of the state supports him the crowd booed according to Politico.
