GOP senator accuses fellow Republican of spreading ‘fake news’ about criminal justice reform bill
By Owen Daugherty - 11/19/18 04:20 PM EST



Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) called out fellow Republican Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.) Monday, saying he was spreading “100% fake news” about a pending criminal justice reform bill.

Lee was referring to a tweet from Cotton on Saturday saying there had been no hearings on the First Step Act, which seeks to overhaul the criminal justice system.

Cotton also asserted that the legislation “gives early release to 'low level, nonviolent' criminals like those convicted of assaulting police, even with deadly weapons.”

“I highly respect my colleague from Arkansas but everything in his tweet and this thread is 100% fake news,” Lee said in his tweet, referring to Cotton's assertions.

Mike Lee is right.  This is a long due reform bill which Trump is in favor of.

Bingo.  But don't forget Jared.  Just what we need more criminals on the streets.  Attacking police with deadly weapons is non-violent?

This could be the beginning of bending to liberals.  Wasn't long ago Trump was talking about executing drug dealers.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
