He claimed that the IVF bill would give fertility treatments to trans women in his bizarre and angry rant. Cotton lost it, saying "No Kaitlan, you're not going to stop me there! Because you're misrepresenting what the bill's about!"
“The legislature acted promptly to change what was an old law to ensure access to I[VF] —,” he tries to say, only for Collins to interject and ask him, “Why did they have to act if it wasn’t in peril, senator?”

Very "States rights to do what?" energy. Love to see it.
same morons that believed schools were putting out litter boxes for students, and that Haitian immigrants were eating pets. They're hateful, racist, despicable people, who's entire sense of self-worth is built on the idea that because they're white they're better than everyone else.
They should have cut his ass off and put up a screen of the actual text of the bill. Stop letting these people lie on fucking tv. Call them out. Shut them up and prove they’re lying right in front of them.
Seriously - not a bad response per se, but fucking EVERYONE knows these chucklefucks come to negotiate in bad faith, so bringing the receipts as a journalist is absolutely fucking crucial to catch them in outright lies, and actually nailing them to the wall on national television instead of letting them skitter around and avoid the point. I can just about guarantee you a large proportion of the viewership is on that shitass senator’s side, because a large proportion of the viewership is either that wrongheaded, dumb, prejudiced, dogmatic, or some combination thereof.
