Sen. Tom Cotton Begs Trump Admin For Disaster Relief After Saying Arkansas Shouldn’t “Bail Out” Blue States

Raw Story reports:

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) pleaded with Trump to “reconsider” his denial of disaster relief after tornadoes hit Arkansas. Cotton joined the Arkansas delegation in writing a letter directly to Trump to support Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ request for funds.
