Tom Cotton hammered Democrats today for their illegal ’14th amendment’ movement to remove Trump from the ballot because of the events of January 6th.
Here’s what he had to say:
Dems are nervous because Americans know Joe Biden wrecked the economy and is mentally unfit to serve.
But that's no reason to take the radical, illegal, and unAmerican step of partisan AGs and secretaries of state removing opponents from the ballot. https://t.co/cjWacC9zPW

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was aimed at Confederates. The ideas it applies to President Trump, who hasn't been charged (let alone convicted) with insurrection is a farce.
This would deny Americans the chance to vote and select our leaders.

The same Democrats pushing this have spent the last six years lecturing us about saving "Our Democracy™."

Whether it's packing the Supreme Court, ending the filibuster, making D.C. a state, or weaponizing the justice system, they'll do anything for power.

“The same Democrats pushing this have spent the last six years lecturing us about saving “Our Democracy™”” – that says it all right there. They don’t actually care about the form of democracy we have in America, which is a democratic republic. In fact they don’t want democracy at all. They are all radical leftists who want socialism and they’ll do whatever it takes to get us there, including trying to use the constitution to destroy itself.
