Republican Sen. Tom Cotton recently defended former President Donald Trump's remarks about conservative Christians not needing to vote in four years, stating that Trump's comments were meant as a joke. Trump had made the comments at a gathering of conservative Christians, urging them to vote just one more time and assuring them that if he were re-elected, things would be fixed and they wouldn't have to vote again.
During an interview, Cotton dismissed the comments as a humorous take on the current state of affairs under President Joe Biden and the potential for improvement under Trump's leadership. He suggested that Trump was highlighting the need for change and the positive impact his return to the White House could have on the country.
Cotton also addressed comments made by Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance, regarding abortion restrictions. Vance had expressed sympathy for using federal power to prevent women from traveling to other states for abortions in regions where the procedure is limited.
Cotton defended Vance's stance, emphasizing that both Vance and Trump share a pro-life perspective. He explained that Vance's comments align with Trump's position on the issue and reiterated their commitment to supporting policies that protect the sanctity of life.
