How did we lose to a band of medieval savages?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got that question in other forms too,\u201d he recalled. \u201cHow did we let left-wing radicals rampage in our streets in the summer of 2020 tearing down statues of our heroes like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and U.S. Grant? How we got to the point where we\u2019re allowing schools to indoctrinate our kids with critical race theory or transgender ideology, where we\u2019re subjecting troops in our military to similar kind of \u2018Maoist struggle\u2019 sessions?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then Cotton launched his attack on the Left: \u201cWhat I want to tell the readers of \u2018Only the Strong\u2019 is that this is not an accident. This is intentional. The decline that they sense in America is decline by design.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Democratic Party has long been at best ambivalent about America and openly hostile to American power, whether the military, our sovereignty, about safety on the streets or having a strong prosperous economy,\u201d he charged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt goes back to the roots of the modern progressive movement with Woodrow Wilson, the first president to openly repudiate the founding principles of our country,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cTo criticize the Declaration and Constitution after you repudiate the founding principles of our country, it\u2018s a very short step to repudiating America itself, which is what the new Left did in the 1960\u2019s and 1970\u2019s during Vietnam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He turned to the fulfillment of the Left\u2019s desire in the presidency of Barack Obama: \u201cAnd then you have the culmination of these trends in the presidency of Barack Obama, the most ideological president since Woodrow Wilson and now his understudy, Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cotton pointed out that Obama was more guarded than Wilson in his statements, but \u201csometimes let the mask slip, as when he said he didn\u2019t believe in American exceptionalism any more than say, Greeks believed in Greek exceptionalism, which is really to say American exceptionalism is just kind of an outmoded, obsolete, chauvinism for one\u2019s own. Or when he said he wanted to fundamentally transform America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked about President Biden, Cotton concluded, \u201cNow that he\u2019s surrounded himself with the ideologues from the Obama team, you really see the third term of the Obama presidency when it comes to sabotaging the sources of American power.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arkansas GOP senator Tom Cotton, who fiercely condemned the riots ensuing after George Floyd\u2019s death and also has harshly criticized the Democrats for their support of the Iran nuclear deal, condemned the Democratic Party and the American Left for their repeated attempts to sabotage American power in a multitude of ways.
