Tom Cotton was an Army Ranger with two combat tours in Afghanistan with the 101st Airborne Division, Bronze Star, Combat Infantryman’s Badge, etc. So you folks who are saying Cotton was not Ranger Qualified are wrong. Thank God for Elon Musk, facts, facts, facts!

Odd, because in this article from July of last year, you call these two Soldiers 'Active-Duty Rangers.' I cannot speak for Justin Wright, but CPT Yacovone's LinkedIn account shows no time with the 75th. Yet, you call him a Ranger. Odd, no?

Did you write a similar article when SenBlumenthal lied about serving in Vietnam Love the hypocrisy.

Whaaat? TomCottonAR LIED?

He graduated from Ranger school and wore Ranger insignia on his uniform. At this point you look considerably more dishonest than he does, which is unfortunate, since I never want to be in the position of defending Tom Cotton. Can you not find a real Republican lie?

Let’s here the audio

but you said, in your own article, that he attended ranger school? 🤔

Maybe he was a “G.I. Joe Army Ranger Wanna-Be.” Of all things to lie about, how shameless do you have to be to make this claim knowing any actual Ranger would be so disgusted by you that it wouldn’t be worth their kicking your flimsy ass. Outta be a special law to stop this. Liar

people still voted for him, so where do we go from here?

I'm beginning to wonder if the GOP has been infiltrated by aliens.🤔

😂

This guy is useless.

With hat .. .

That's scary.

Jeez, the GOP lying ?

Cotton spinning yarn while in a Ford Ranger pickup truck. That's the only Ranger young Tommy was in.

Lied their way in office!

I'm sure he was only lying to represent the interests of his constituents

SenWarren bragged she was Indian, she was not

A Republican lying?!

these whiny wannabe wimps are so whack

All it takes is one look at him and you realize that he got confused. When they said Ranger he thought the were referencing one from the forest so he spoke up. My apologies to them in advance.

The mendacity

He did however get a jr ranger patch.

Doubt he has the shame and humility to apologize for lying

Ask him to step down

He confused Army Ranger with Ichabod Crane.

Don’t you have to be a liar to run as a Republican?

Imagine, a republican lying
