Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) came into NBC’s Meet the Press and gave a master class in how to handle Regime Media counter-surrogacy for Democrats. Specifically, by never giving in to the Regime Media’s narratives and premises.
Watch as Cotton first takes Welker to the woodshed over her insistence in defending the Biden-Harris regime from its insistence in hindering Israel’s response to the deadly Hamas attack last October 7th, and its deliberate withholding of weapons shipments to Israel over the decision to enter into Rafah:

By definition, an embargo is a legal prohibition of commerce. Whether it is one or multiple shipments, there was an embargo of weapons shipments to Israel as a result of its decision to undertake the incursion into Rafah. But Welker insists on lecturing Cotton, and imposing a counter-narrative that Cotton forcefully rejects. And in the immediate aftermath of an American citizen getting murdered by a terrorist organization, language matters.
Speaking of language, there is the matter of abortion. To wit, the allegation of Trump “flip-flops” on abortion ahead of a vote on Florida’s Amendment 4, which would repeal the state-s 6-week law and extend abortions up to a “viability” standard of up to 24 weeks. Here again, look at how Cotton handles Welker’s premises:

Cotton basically turns Welker’s arguments on their ear. From the Florida law and ballot initiative to the Democrat bill that would have enshrined unfettered abortion throughout the land, with very few limits. Cotton forces Welker to defend that bill, and puts her on the spot with regard to the exceptions.
Here again, Welker firefights for Kamala Harris by splitting hairs on the definition of “voted against”, with regard to a revised Born Alive Infant Protection Act. In this Senate era, where 60 votes are needed for things to come to a vote, A vote against cloture these days is, in effect, a vote against a bill, no matter how much Welker would like to say otherwise.
Additionally, Cotton had to deal with Welker covering for the Regime on the Abbey Gate dead, as did every other Regime Media Sunday show.
The lesson remained and was consistent throughout: NEVER accept the media’s premises or narratives. Tom Cotton demonstrated that in a forceful manner.
