On Friday, Sen. Tom Cotton tried to describe an American utopia that many people thought was sheer paradise. The Republican senator appeared on Fox News and accused Democrats of wanting Americans to live in areas where stores, jobs and restaurants are close to each other. “[Dems] want to make us all poor. They want to make you live in downtown areas, and high-rise buildings, and walk to work, or take the subway, or ride an electric scooter, or whatever it is that Pete Buttigieg takes to work.” Sen. Cotton (R-AR) fear-mongers about life in a city: “[Dems] want to make us all poor. They want to make you live in downtown areas, and high-rise buildings, and walk to work, or take the subway, or ride an electric scooter, or whatever it is that Pete Buttigieg takes to work.” pic.twitter.com/5BcpDrmOKNHuffPost

Cotton is entitled to his own opinions on whether he wants to live in the city or suburban sprawl, but many users pointed out that one person's dystopia is another person's delight.
Many Americans pay a lot of money to live in what Cotton considers a hellhole.
i love how he’s trying to make walking to work sound terrifying when most people would be like “Yeah, if I could live walking distance from work that’d be pretty great." https://t.co/lI6RYf6aYD

This stupidity/deliberate pretense of stupidity is a reworking of @newtgingrich's announcement a decade ago that America was being destroyed by the "elites who ride SUBWAYS" https://t.co/IfPH4ofp4N

Love that the GOP's vision of dystopia is people walking to work which based on property value in walkable neighborhoods is privilege people pay a roughly $100,000 premium for. https://t.co/fR8poSngkW

Aside from the electric scooter, that's my lifestyle. Combined with the dozens of good restaurants in easy walking distance, it's a living hell, I tell you https://t.co/O758QN2sV1

Yes that famous category of real estate where all the poor people live, high rises in downtown areas of walkable major metropolitan areas. https://t.co/KfizlTG2g2

Dems apparently want everyone to live here in NYC. In the next segment, Cotton rails against socialist plans to force people to order share plates in high end pop ups, do group SoulCycle classes and stand in excessive cronut lines https://t.co/v4YVwThQCb

Pete Buttigieg told Cotton that the Biden administration wants people to live wherever they like and thrive there.
Wha? We want people to live wherever they like, and thrive there. It's why we're making it safer & easier to take transit, walk, ride a bike (or scooter, sure), drive a car or truck. That includes over $3.8 billion in AR alone for roads & bridges, despite the Senator's 'no' vote.

A group of voters are using a state law to challenge the eligibility of Marjorie Taylor Greene to run for reelection. The challenge was filed last month with the Georgia secretary of state, which alleges that the Republican helped facilitate the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that disrupted Congress from certifying Joe Biden's presidential election victory. The law that voters are using to challenge her eligibility is unconstitutional and should be stopped by a judge, according to the lawsuit.
