As if you didn’t need any more proof we’re living in the strangest possible time, Republican U.S. Senator Tom Cotton talked about former LA Galaxy and Chicago Fire player Aleksandar Katai on the Senate floor yesterday.
Cotton was railing against “cancel culture” and defended Katai, claiming Katai “was fired for his wife’s tweet. Not his own. His wife’s tweet.”
First of all, it wasn’t a tweet, it was his wife’s Instagram story posts. And second of all, after what we learned from his former teammate CJ Sapong, there was likely a lot more going on with Katai than just a couple racist posts by his wife.
