Over the weekend, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to rightfully call out Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) for standing in the way of the popular Sunshine Protection Act, a bill that would finally make daylight saving time permanent.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson previously reported, President Trump held nothing back. He bravely posted Cotton’s cell phone number online so the American people could let the Senator know exactly how they felt about him blocking this common-sense legislation.
But instead of holding his Washington colleague accountable, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) decided to run straight to the liberal mainstream media to take cheap shots at President Trump.
During a Sunday appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, left-wing hack Kristen Welker predictably tried to weaponize the situation against the GOP. Welker whined, “How does that help the Republican Party a month out from the midterms, Senator?”
Rather than defending the President against the fake news narrative, Kennedy chose to kiss up to Welker and attack Trump.
John Kennedy:
“Well, I’ll say first, Kristen, every now and then there are disputes in Congress that have existential significance for the future of Western civilization. Daylight Saving Time is not one of them.Tom Cotton feels strongly about it. Tom is a rock star senator. If you get between him and what’s best for Arkansas, he’ll devour you like a light snack.
President Trump’s also my friend. He feels strongly about it. The president, as we know, can be sometimes—he exists loudly. He can be tempestuous. He can go from zero to a-hole in about three seconds.
I don’t think he should have given out Tom’s cell phone number. I don’t think that’s going to help convince Tom.
And I have your cell phone number, but I promise not to give it out.”

“The president, as we know, can be sometimes… he exists loudly. He can be tempestuous. He can go from zero to a-hole in about three seconds. I don’t think he should have given out Tom’s cell phone number. I don’t think that’s going to help convince Tom.”
