Cotton Criticizes Relief Checks for Prisoners He Voted For

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) “is attacking Democrats for passing a pandemic relief bill that will send money to prisoners,” CNN reports.

“But Cotton’s attack left out a highly relevant fact. Prisoners, like other individuals, were eligible for checks up to $1,200 per individual from the first bill Trump signed and up to $600 from the second bill Trump signed, depending on their income.”

“Both of those bills were approved by a Republican-controlled Senate – and Cotton voted for both of them.”
