Tom Cotton rants Dems want to sic their 'street militias' on ICE wives and kids

During an appearance on Fox News on Sunday, far-right Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) accused Democrats of conspiring to put the lives of ICE agents’ families at risk as part of their strategy to dial back funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Speaking with host Shannon Bream about the competing funding bills that have Republicans in the House and the Senate at each other's throats, the Arkansas Republican tried to shift the blame to Democrats.

They have become crazy on this issue,” he complained to the host. “Whatever procedural differences we have between the House and the Senate, the reason we are at this impasse is that Democrats are using long TSA lines to throw a temper tantrum about deportations of violent criminal illegal aliens and funding of ICE and the Border Patrol. We pre-funded ICE and the Border Patrol last summer in our big budget bill because we saw how radicalized Democrats had become.”

“What you've seen over the last week is [Democratic Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer continually moving the goalposts, making a deal, and then he retreats from that deal,” he claimed. “The key sticking point here, at least one of them is that Democrats insist we write into law that ICE officers can't wear masks,” he continued. “The reason they do is because of radical left-wing Democrats that will dox them and then their street militias will terrorize their wives and kids and at their houses.”

“That's why they are inflicting long lines on the American people,“ he insisted.
