here you go. not too surprising...



"You're a senior member of the Republican Party. Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party," he said, noting that Trump "suggested" Saturday night he would run for president again. "When Fox News asked him if he had a message for Vladimir Putin, he said he has no message."

"Why can't you condemn that? I feel quite confident that if Donald -- that if Barack Obama or Joe Biden said something like that, you'd be first in line to criticize them," Stephanopoulos said.

Cotton, who sits on the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees, doubled down.

"Again, George, if you want to talk to the former president about his views or his message, you can have him on your show," Cotton said. "My message to Vladimir Putin is quite clear: He needs to leave Ukraine unless he wants to face moms and teenagers with Molotov cocktails and grandmothers and grandfathers with AK-47s for years to come."




 
As tough as Tom Cotton's talk is, he knows where his orders come from and even when there is disagreement at the end of the day his allegiance is to Russia... err, Trump and FoxNews.
 
Cotton does make some valid points.

Trump is a lousy communicator, which leaves him open to have bogus allegations and false motives hung around his neck by the media, so he SHOULD be more clear and obvious in his comments.

But it's laughable that the Clinton administration hatchet-man is calling for Republicans to "condemn" someone who is being falsely accused again of being a Putin stooge! It's funny how nobody in the media are condemning Obama for denying that Putin/Russia is a geopolitical threat to the west in his 2012 debate with Mitt Romney, after insulting Romney and saying "the 80s called, and they want their foreign policy back". BTW, Putin invaded Ukraine 2 years later under Obama!
