Stop the presses! Mediaite has a damning new scoop on GOP Sen. Tom Cotton. OK, the scoop isn’t really<\/em> on Tom Cotton, but they want<\/em> it to be:

So, Tom Cotton wasn’t actually on record as saying this stuff … but an intern was?

Intern? #whatever<\/a>

You wrote an article about an intern?

Who cares what an intern says? Literally dozens of them rotate through Senate offices every season. This shouldnt be news.

It got me to click on the article. Before I realized "oh, Intern??" Who gives an eff?

when I first quickly scanned the headline, I misread that Cotton himself had said it. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Must be a slow news day. Interns on Capitol Hill don't always reflect the opinions of the members politics. Y'all suck for reporting this.
