Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, a hard-right Republican, has put Joe Biden on for his unwritten line declaring that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”
“I really think it would be best for everyone involved, to include Joe Biden, but especially to the American people, if the president simply stopped speaking out in an offhand manner,” he said in an interview with right-wing radio host Hugh. Hewitt yesterday, adding that he doesn’t think the president should “deliver” or even “answer questions or hold press conferences.”
