Cotton compares Harris fixing the border to OJ Simpson finding ‘the real killer’

Published September 15, 2024 4:24pm ET



Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) insisted Vice President Kamala Harris cannot be trusted to fix the southern border’s security as president, arguing her promise to do so is comparable to O.J. Simpson finding “the real killer.”

Cotton’s comment was in reference to how Simpson, who died earlier this year following a battle with cancer, was the prime suspect in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman. Simpson was acquitted of their deaths in 1995. Ahead of the 2024 election, both Harris and former President Donald Trump have vowed to crack down on illegal immigration along the border, though Cotton suggested Harris’s track record showed she cannot be trusted.
