ORLANDO, Florida — Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) told Breitbart News exclusively that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spreading cash to Hollywood studios precludes a lot of them from casting CCP-aligned Chinese Communists as the bad guys in movies.

Sens. Cotton & Romney: Raise minimum wage, but not to $15 – our compromise bill protects workers, businesses
close Video Sen. Tom Cotton proposes $10 minimum wage to be phased in after pandemic Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., discusses his proposal and weighs in on the proposed COVID-19 stimulus bill on ‘America Reports.’ Americans deserve a raise , but a number of obstacles stand between our poorest workers and a bigger paycheck. First, Americans have to compete for jobs against millions of illegal immigrants . This competition lowers wages for some and shuts others out of work altogether. Second, Congress hasn’t increased the federal minimum wage in more than 10 years, when it was raised to $7.25 an hour.
