June 27, 2020: Sen. Tom Cotton Explains Why Wyoming is a State

 

6/27/20: Vice President Pence said yesterday that we had flattened the curve in this country.

 

I was so excited I checked the Saturday numbers. I wanted to tell everyone I knew we could go to a bar and celebrate…

 

WTF!

 

We had:

 

44,703 more cases.

 

That broke the “old” record, set Friday. Guess I’ll have to stay home and keep drinking alone.


 

 

POSTSCRIPT: On Monday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) offers up the opinion that Wyoming (with a population of 576,851) deserves to be a state and have two U.S. senators. Whereas Washington D.C. (with a population of 689,545) does not. If his math seems odd, his explanation smells of racism. Wyoming – predominantly white – is “a well-rounded working-class state,” Sen. Cotton exclaims. Wyoming has more miners, and loggers, and factory workers. (This blogger is surprised he didn’t cite “more cowboys.”)

 

D.C. – with a predominantly black population – well, they hardly have any loggers! Maybe even zero! And we all know how much the Founding Fathers talked about loggers and voting.

 

Democrats, Cotton warns, want D.C. to become a state and have two U.S. senators because they want to “rig the rule of our democracy.”

 

It is probably a good thing that Sen. Cotton was not representing the State of Arkansas in 1870. It’s more than likely he would have been against the Fifteenth Amendment, which gave African Americans the right to vote.



Wyoming gets to be a state because - more cowboys!
