Hold on to your sanity, you’re going to need it.
In an effort to deflect media criticism of AR Republican Senator Tom Cotton’s open letter to Iran – signed by 46 other GOP senators – the National Review’s spin is that since the letter was never dropped in a mailbox, it doesn’t really count.
Deroy Murdock of the National Review lists a few examples of the criticism regarding the open letter and then writes:
Despite this hyperventilation, the Cotton Club did not send its letter anywhere — particularly not Tehran. As I mentioned last Thursday, Cotton drafted this letter, which explained to Iran’s leaders several relevant aspects of basic American civics.”
Deroy went on to say:
Cotton got 46 other senators to sign this letter in ink. “Because it was an open letter, it was not sent to Tehran but rather posted on Senator Cotton’s website and social-media accounts,” Caroline Rabbitt, Senator Cotton’s communications director, explained to me last week. Cotton & Co. never even dropped an envelope in the mail.”
In other words, the letter was just posted on Senator Cotton’s social media pages, you guys!! C’mon. Can’t you take a freaking joke? There was no envelope. No courier pigeon. No stamp. No mailbox. Sheesh. It was all just a funny joke. Haha. LOLZ.
Murdock ends his mockworthy excuse with:
Agree or disagree with that point, here is the inescapable truth: Tom Cotton and his Senate colleagues never contacted anyone in Iran. That fact alone should turn the Left’s fluttering “GOP = Treason” banner into a wet rag.”
Here’s the real inescapable truth, Murdock: #GOPWantsWar and the whole world knows it.
