Tom Cotton: Lloyd Austin, Joe Biden should be making China worry about our aggressiveness

Tom Cotton reacts to Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer's agreement to a vastly pared back version of Build Back Better on Wednesday's 'The Ingraham Angle.'

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said the leak of Nancy Pelosi's scheduled trip to Taiwan "came straight from the White House" slamming President Biden for pressuring the Speaker in hopes to call off her trip.

TOM COTTON: The word I've heard in Congress is that the leak of Nancy Pelosi's trip came straight from the White House. The pressure came from Joe Biden, who doesn't want her to take this trip because he's once again kowtowing to Beijing. But Lloyd Austin and Joe Biden shouldn't be worried about China's aggressiveness. They should be making China worry about our aggressiveness. For decades, American lawmakers have been traveling to Taiwan of both parties, and that should continue now, especially after it became public.
