Tom Cotton just became the most accomplished potential GOP presidential candidate by a fair margin, given how its voters value owning the libs and hating the media far more than any policy achievement or governing credential (see: 2016 primaries).
Folks.
"This is a huge political gift to Tom Cotton, the op-ed has gotten about 500,000 times more attention than it would have if they had just put it online and let it stand and of course now he gets to run against the media... and that will resonate with a lot of conservatives."
Notably missing from the coverage, which now revolves around the New York Times' handling of the op-ed, is that Cotton was wrong. Protests in major cities became less violent when law enforcement stopped using violent tactics. The troops were not needed. dailynews.com/2020/06/06/did…
Tucker Carlson not mentioning the story, which otherwise hits a lot of his pleasure centers... similarly feels important.
