Tom Cotton Addresses Trump Derangement Syndrome During DNC Coverage
Tom Cotton's Bold Claims on GOP Speakers
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) criticized Republicans who spoke at the Democratic National Convention last week, saying they were suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome in a Sunday interview on ABC News’ This Week. “What I make of them is that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing,” Cotton remarked when asked about the GOP speakers. Cotton was referring to a fabricated “condition” that former President Trump frequently attributes to the negative reactions of some critics.
Republicans at the DNC
Several Republicans spoke at the Democratic convention last week, including former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), who served on the committee investigating the Capitol attack; Stephanie Grisham, former White House press secretary in the Trump administration; and former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who resisted Trump's attempts to overturn election results in 2020.
Election Strategies and Concerns
When asked about Democrats’ strategy to appeal to Republicans who are “uneasy” with Trump as their ticket leader, Cotton dismissed those worries, suggesting there is significant friction within the GOP as the 2024 presidential election nears.
