It’s not as intense as it sounds.
Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has some lighthearted fun in a new ad at the expense of Sen. Mark Pryor (D), his opponent for U.S. Senate, for comments Pryor previously made about Cotton’s military service.
“In the Senate we have all kinds of different people, all kinds of different folks who come from all kinds of different backgrounds. And I think that’s part of this sense of entitlement, that [Cotton] gives off, that almost is like, I served my country, therefore let me into the Senate,” Pryor said last month of Cotton, a Bronze Star recipient.
Cotton brings on his former drill sergeant in the ad — a man who taught him “humility,” Cotton says — to rebut the claim.
Cotton served in both Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of the United States Army.
