Sen. Cotton: Media abdicating responsibility to question VP Harris

Sen. Tom Cotton, R.-Ark., criticized the media for not scrutinizing Vice President Kamala Harris despite her moving to the top of the Democratic ticket two weeks ago.

Since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, Harris "has not done any sit-down interviews and has answered few questions from the press, but has also received little pushback for the lack of availability," the Washington Examiner reported.

Cotton appeared on CBS News's Face the Nation, where he was asked about Harris closing the gap with former President Donald Trump.

Cotton used the opportunity to castigate the media for allowing Harris to engage in scripted exchanges.

"She hasn’t answered a single question. Not one single question by the media. And you don’t have one single unscripted moment Thursday night at Andrews Air Force Base, welcoming this hostages back and she served up the kind of incomprehensible word salad for which she has become famous," Cotton said.
