This 7-Year-Old Boy's Epic Takedown of a GOP Senator Is Giving Us Life
Most GOP senators and congressmen are not having a stellar time at their local town halls as of late. A flood of angry constituents all over the country has been turning up at meetings and airing their grievances, but one small citizen in particular is making waves for taking Republican Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas to school.
Toby, a 7-year-old also from Arkansas, attended a town hall meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 22, to give Cotton a piece of his mind.

He began his takedown by calling out President Donald Trump's anti-Mexican rhetoric, saying that "Donald Trump makes Mexicans not important to people who are in Arkansas who like Mexicans, like me and my grandma and all my family." He continued by referring to reports that Trump will cut funding for programs that keep PBS running. "And he's deleting all the parks and PBS Kids just to make a wall. He shouldn't do all that stuff for just a wall." Preach, Toby.
Cotton struggled to respond to Toby, offering up a generic response: "Whatever your background, whatever your heritage, whatever your race or ethnicity or religious beliefs, part of the fabric of America is that we are a melting pot and we are all one people."
The crowd's response? "Prove it."
