@liztai Oh my God. He did so well not to call that guy a dumbass. I would've flipped my lid if I had to explain again and again that I'm not English.
@monsoonrains As a Malaysian, I feel for my Singaporean neighbour lol
This got me so angry.
Tom Cotton is such a tool.
@seanbala the whole tiktok interrogation got me mad actually. It was so racist and we have a saying, only Malaysians can insult Singaporeans (and vice versa), so if we see a Singaporean bullied like this we get cheesed off too 😏
@seanbala but I have to also say that the entire thing was hilarious and American politicians literally know nothing about Singapore.
And geography, apparently.
@liztai It is 100,000% a racist dog whistle. Tom Cotton knows PRECISELY what he is doing.
What makes it funnier is him saying "Have you now or have you ever been a member of the Chinese Communist Party?" is an exact quote from disgraced anti-Communist Senator Joseph McCarthy who led the Red Scare in the 1950s.
But you are right - most American's wouldn't be able to place Singapore on a map.
