Miley Cyrus Just Went Wrecking Ball on Indiana and Tom Cotton

An unlikely ally in the fight against Indiana’s bogus Religious Freedom Restoration Act has appeared: Miley Cyrus.

Sen. Tom Cotton (the same guy that brought you the infamous letter to Iran) appeared on CNN Wednesday to discuss the RFRA, where he was in full bonehead form:

“I think it’s important we have a sense of perspective about our priorities,” Cotton said. “In Iran they hang you for the crime of being gay. They’re currently imprisoning an American preacher for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in Iran. We should focus on the most important priorities that our country faces right now.”

The results were swift: within minutes, her followers were reporting that the Senator’s voicemail system was full.

Say what you will about Miley: the woman gets shit done. We’re with this guy:

#CottonSucks. Word.
