Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) promoted the use of the Insurrection Act against rioters in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

This marked the second time since 2020 that Cotton publicly argued to use the 1807 law, which gives the President of the United States the authority to mobilize the active-duty military within the U.S. in the case of an insurrection. Cotton has already gone on the record to condemn “uncontrolled rioting” that has been going on since Friday night.
