Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Monday called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to bring charges against people who have been destroying statues and monuments across the United States.

“For weeks violent mobs have roamed our streets destroying property, in most cases with neither resistance from police nor legal consequences,” Cotton announced. “I call upon the Department of Justice to bring charges against these mob vigilantes, prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law.”
