Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called on President Trump to concede his election loss to President-elect Joe Biden, saying he should "quit misleading" the American people.

“It’s past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence,” Cotton said in a statement Wednesday evening.

“And the senators and representatives who fanned the flames by encouraging the president and leading their supporters to believe that their objections could reverse the election results should withdraw those objections,” he continued.

The remarks from Cotton, a key Trump ally, came hours after a mob of Trump supporters forced their way into the Capitol building around 2 p.m., prompting lawmakers to evacuate and suspend their tally of the Electoral College votes certifying Biden's victory.

It turned out that there was almost no one President Trump could trust, civilian or military. I don’t believe the military will obey him for the nest two weeks. peeeeelosi and the gang will impeach him again. Will senatewhores convict? I think there are enough cowards to do it.

The only scenario I can see is one that I don’t take lightly.

It means him looking into a camera and simply calling us to action.

The chances of this are slim and if it DOES happen I don’t take domestic violence lightly. It’s a nightmare. The whole thing is a nightmare.

He’s got the kind of neck that would snap like a twig.

Never trust an extreme extomorph.

Deep State fake mobs. Even committed murder by government officials. Boy, they are all evil.

Now using the lies to attack Trump. Notice how fast, just hours, the piling on is?

Orchestrated.

I even saw on ESPN in a restaurant “NBA makes statement on Capitol Attacks”. Or close to that.

Mat 16:2  He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. Mat 16:3  And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

cbs was laying the groundwork for that all day

lots of rhetoric about how Trump incited this and told people to storm the Capitol. it was really non stop on CBS

I have no doubt Trump wanted to see supporters with flags standing on the steps in mass to show support

Antifa turned it into a real siege

Now they will lay it at Trump’s feet.

I don't think you have to worry about that. Trump will have to leave office, but he will never agree that he lost. In fact, he won, and not by a little. The swamp is deeper then I ever imagined.

With Trump on his way out now and Pence saying he was finished with politics, the political sharks are realigning for 2024/2028.

I don’t think these establishment commie scumbags understand that this is isn’t just about Trump! The 75+ million of us are not goong to just go away, and martyring him would be a HUGE mistake on their part.

Turns out Lin Wood was right about one thing: These people are ALL evil to the core. Some just hide it better than others, at least for a while.

If they will not sell out to the highest bidder, they will sell out to the nearest mob to save themselves.

A week ago I thought he would make a great President. Tonight, I think he is just another pos pretender worthy of no office. It seems the cockroaches are dancing in the sunlight!
