Tom Cotton ain’t messing around.
He told Hugh Hewitt today that comments from some of his Democratic colleagues are starting to resemble those you’d hear in “Stalinist Show Trials” in the Soviet Union.

Here’s a transcript of his comments via Breitbart:
Cotton said, “[T]he Democrats and the media have spent a lot of the last couple of years talking about undermining basic democratic norms. They should look in the mirror. Talk about undermining basic democratic norms of due process and the presumption of innocence. These are things that go back 800 years to the Magna Carta. And the Democrats, like Mazie Hirono or Richard Blumenthal or other senators, are essentially saying that Brett Kavanaugh is guilty simply because he faces an allegation, allegations in the New Yorker article, that are completely unsupported by any evidence and that, by the accuser’s own admission, only came to her after she spent six days working with a former elected Democrat and her lawyer, and allegations from Ms. Ford that are disputed by the four people she claims were in the house at the time what she said happened, happened.”
He added, “Now, she’ll have a chance to present her case on Thursday. But some of the statements by my Democratic colleagues truly, not just resemble McCarthyism, they resemble the kind of Stalinist show trials you saw in the Soviet Union, that merely making an accusation is enough if it’s in the greater interests of the party and the state, as Mazie Hirono essentially said on Jake Tapper’s show on Sunday.”
He’s not wrong. When Democrats like Hirono say that the accusers of Kavanaugh must be believed because they are female and, of course, because Kavanaugh’s nomination must be stopped, then they’ve thrown out the “basic democratic norms” that are in the foundation of this very Republic.
And all because they are beholden their baby murdering machine, known as Planned Parenthood.
Nicely said Tom Cotton. Nicely said.
