Senator Tom Cotton serves as a Director at the International Republican Institute (IRI), one of eight core NGOs aligned with the political establishment — DataRepublican
While IRI is closely tied to the Republican Party, its agenda and interests fundamentally conflicts with President Trump’s policies.
Funded primarily by taxpayers, IRI received $130,689,289 last year, much of it from USAID. Though Senator Cotton is unpaid for his board role, the organization directs substantial public funds toward expenditures like travel ($12,173,741) and pensions and fringe benefits ($14,232,108).
Anyone affiliated with IRI is advancing the interests of the global elite, not the priorities of U.S. citizens or Republican constituents—unless they choose to resign from the IRI.
However, Washington, D.C., and the country as a whole are entangled in a web of corruption, and the IRI itself is part of that corruption. If
@SenTomCotton is leading an effort to undermine Bridge—a figure unpopular among neoconservatives, according to Wikipedia—that likely explains his motivation.
Wow and he seems like such a Solid Trump Friendly Senator
He’s a war pig, and he’s out of touch with reality. It amazes me that so many of these higher ups in the American government don’t seem to understand their military weakness.
Dang, do we have to add him to the list?
Trey Gowdy
Kevin McCarthy
Paul Ryan
Jason Chafetz
They all start their careers with boisterous defense of their principals (seemingly), then it’s like a switch get’s flipped.
Maybe akin to what the GOP establishment tried to do to Kari Lake.
They can’t resist the money. Most people who run for office have extremely flawed characters anyway.
