Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) warned in a Senate speech on Monday about the alarming increase in people disregarding the rule of law across the country and announced that he has requested that Attorney General William Barr bring criminal charges against violent mobs that are destroying property.
“In recent weeks, violent mobs have roamed our streets, defacing and tearing down statues and monuments, in most cases with neither resistance from the police nor legal consequences,” Cotton said. “On Friday, a mob tore down another statue just a few blocks from here. The police stood idly by and watched as rioters toppled it and set it on fire. One can only assume they were ordered not to intervene by Washington’s left-wing mayor.”
