ARKANSAS REPUBLICAN US Senator Tom Cotton suggested that The Associated Press was colluding with Hamas after the Gaza building housing the organization and other media outlets was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike.
"Why is the Associated Press sharing a building with Hamas?" Cotton asks, as if he's just "gotcha'ed" the AP. "Surely these intrepid reporters knew who their neighbors were. Did they knowingly allow themselves to be used as human shields by a US-designated terrorist organization? Did the AP pull its punches and decline to report for years on Hamas' misdeeds?" After his outrageous accusations, the dangerous senator wraps it up by trying to put the Press on the defensive. "I submit that the AP has some uncomfortable questions to answer."

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson is being called racist for an interview in which the white Republican said he wasn’t worried about the predominantly white supporters of President Donald Trump during the deadly insurrection at the Capitol, but that he might have been if they had been Black Lives Matter protesters.
In an interview Thursday with syndicated radio host Joe Pagliarulo, Johnson said of those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 to try to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s electoral victory: “Even though those thousands of people that were marching to the Capitol were trying to pressure people like me to vote the way they wanted me to vote, I knew those were people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law, and so I wasn't concerned,”
