The fringe op-ed comes after leftist reporters at The New York Times and at other left-wing publications claimed that an op-ed from Sen. Cotton last week put the lives of black people at risk because he advocated for the military to be called in to stop the violent riots from destroying inner cities, a view that is supported by 58% of Americans.
Cotton trolled The New York Times on Twitter, writing: “Running this column puts lives in danger.”
And as Stephen Miller tweets in response to the op-ed, “a 1,000 ‘what they really mean’ think pieces [just] died.”
