Cotton: ‘Biden’s Border Crisis Is A Superspreader Event’
From WWW.DAILYWIRE.COM
Tuesday evening, after a news report from NBC News delineated a number of illegal immigrants released by the U. S.

Cotton listed Biden’s actions that buttressed his attack: When Biden served as the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the 1990s, he shot down opposition to granting China most-favored-nation trade status and World Trade Organization membership. As Ch... (Read more)
