Until then, anyone out campaigning for the job or pushing for the job is not helpful to what we should all be focused on, which is winning the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether former Vice President Mike Pence did the right on January 6th, Cotton responded: \u201cLook, I think the Constitution was clear that neither the Congress nor the vice president had the ability to reject those electors. It\u2019s also clear that it wasn\u2019t going to work because Nancy Pelosi controlled the House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He defended Trump\u2019s actions on that day, saying that he \u201cput out videos and he put out statements on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stay-the-f-home-bill-maher-unloads-on-the-problematic-costume-police\/\" title=\"\u2018Stay The F*** Home\u2019: Bill Maher Unloads On The \u2018Problematic\u2019 Costume Police\">social media telling<\/a> those rioters to stand down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJon, he says, and I agree, that the election was not fair, and it was rigged in many ways with Democratic states and cities changing election law and election practices up to the last minute, with the media, to include your network, and 51 Democratic intelligence operatives saying the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation and social media then censoring all those things,\u201d he added. \u201cThose were all deeply unfair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cEvery grandma who had a red MAGA hat that was within a country mile of the Capitol on Jan. 6 shouldn\u2019t be sitting in pre-trial detention for a longer time than the crimes for which they might face a sentence,\u201d Sen.
