Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has accused public health officials of looking after the interests of public health.
The shocking allegation was made on Fridays edition of America Reports with John Roberts, who somehow did not immediately fall out of his chair at Cottons claim. (In fairness to the senator, he said it should be up to elected officials, not bureaucrats to make decisions about public health.)
Roberts played a clip of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) spoke out against compulsory mask mandates for schoolchildren, saying Were not doing that in Florida.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki called the decision greatly concerning.
Roberts turned to Cotton and said, So youve got the governor of Florida saying, I dont think this is the right thing to do, and the White House coming down on him for that. Is that the White Houses role?

Everyone I have ever met in business tells the same joke at dinner. They had a humble start and bam into Harvard. Then someone will ask well how did you get in? To which they say with a shit eating grin because Im fucking smart. Every laughs and laughs. I always want to kill it and say after the glory is showered and the questions stop- so, why are here at dinner with us? One of these days!
