    Wait, if Cotton thinks slavery was essential in creating American society, the sine qua non without which America would not be America, then isn't he agreeing with the 1619 project?https://twitter.com/gnrosenberg/status/1287468089781624832 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    bearistotle @gnrosenberg
    Saying slavery was a "necessary evil" to American economic and national development is, without Cotton realizing it, the most damning and incisive indictment of America imaginable.

        Yes. But critical thinking is not a Republican strong suit.

        The disagreement is that 1619 Project implies this was a bad thing

        Nice, the old “if you want make an omelette, you have to breaks some eggs” argument. Compelling stuff.

        The wild thing is that, in claiming broadly that "the Founding Fathers" approved of slavery at the framing, Tom Cotton today is affirming what he claimed was wrong and leftist and unpatriotic in the @nytimes 1619 project. It's as if his real problem is with the source and tone! pic.twitter.com/WP5cgzHG4x

        I would be surprised to learn that Cotton has actually read the 1619 project.

        My thought exactly about Pompeo when he refused a couple weeks back to accept 1619’s ‘dark’ portrayal of our colonial beginnings.
