U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN-09) this weekend confirmed what he said a lot of people already suspected about him.
Cohen said, yes, he hates Donald Trump.
Cohen said it not once but twice as he appeared on MSNBC.
“I hate Donald Trump. He’s caused nearly 400,000 people to die of Coronavirus. He’s ruined my last 10 months. He has threatened my life at the Capitol,” Cohen said.
“He has wreaked havoc and destruction on the building that I work in and love. He has destroyed the faith that people should have in the government and shown that he’s been a crook for four years, and I hate him.”
Donald Trump is responsible for the riot and for every single one of the state Capitols having to defend themselves. He should pay for the cost of repairs and security.

Later, Cohen compared Trump to 1920s-era gangster Al Capone and said that the president sells his power to pardon. Cohen did not provide evidence to back up that claim.
“Donald Trump was responsible for every single one of the state capitals having to prepare and to defend themselves. Donald Trump should pay every states’ expense for the extra security. He should pay the United States government for all the security for [Joe] Biden. He ought to pay for the riot,” Cohen said.
“I have introduced legislation and have asked the administration to go after him. [I have asked] the speaker and the U.S. Senate leader to go after the Trump team and the Trump family for the expenses to the government for the repairs to the [U.S.] Capitol and the defense. Trump has caused us just unheard of havoc for four years. He has 77 hours left. He’ll do more bad things. But he’s a crook, and some people say when they hear me say that and see me on television and they’ll say ‘You hate Donald Trump.’ Yes. I hate Donald Trump.”
As The Tennessee Star reported last week, Cohen pouted on Twitter that he had to travel alongside people who didn’t wear COVID-19 masks, all of whom he assumed were Donald Trump voters — although Cohen didn’t provide evidence to back that up.
As reported, Cohen last year said that African-American U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) “might as well be” white and ridiculed the death of former presidential candidate Herman Caine. Cohen also endorsed a video of actor Robert De Niro bragging he wants to punch Trump in the face.
Cohen also bashed MyPillow, Inc. CEO Mike Lindell as just some guy who “makes pillows” and kisses Trump’s posterior. This, after Lindell appeared alongside Trump at a press conference and announced his company would manufacture face masks for hospitals across the country. Lindell said his company would do this to help alleviate the national shortage of N95 respirator masks in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Cohen also expressed delight over the Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives no longer requiring people to say “so help me God” under oath. He also used a rape analogy to describe Trump’s time as president.

He’s a pathetic lawyer who never could get good business for his law firm here in Memphis, and saw the Gravy Train that has been the Swamp in D.C. and all over the country–FED AND STATE GOVTS!
Yippee.!!! Since worming his way up through Tenn Rep position he finally hit the Big Time. The Ultimate Cesspool of corruption– National Rep from Districkt 9 in TN!! His bank account leger began to Magically Fill up so that now he’s a multi-millionaire. Wonder where those Stock tips came from? We were told Insider Trading was deemed “illegal” in D.C. NOT TRUE, by another “magical” legerdemain of lawyers the country over that endeavor is legally ignored, thanks to the one most despised professions in the country –the ABA’s Lawyers.
Someone should make a movie version of “My Name’s Bill” describing this noble route from mere fleabag lawyer to Master Trader and Fighter for The People. It would be the greatest most viewed cartoon worldwide!!
I agree!
Some great comments on this post. Good to know I’m not alone in my opinion about Cohen. He deserves everything he gets, and more, from here on out…
Why would you not delete this account spending hate mail!!
Good man. GREAT comments. Trump has the money to pay.
Steve o”s meds just don’t seem to be working. Looks like he is spending his day hearing voices and looking over his shoulder. Maybe you need to step down and retire to New York. Please.
Cohen is proof that Fraction Magic is real and TN elections with electronic voting machines are rigged too.
believe me communist. hate is a two way street that ultimately ends in a dead end. i am sure your majority black community of christians share your idiocy. now order a bucket of chicken.
one hundred years from now donald trumps name will be in our history books. his portrait will hang on the whithouse walls. 100 years from now to find steve cohens name you will have to navigate the pages of the website findagrave.com
Steve Cohen – Tennessee’s greatest embarrassment. More than the meth epidemic.
More lies from the SOB Cohen!
Cohen is one sick man. Memphis can do better. I think all the chicken has clotted arteries to his brain.
And we Tennesseans admit we don’t like you Cohen! You have been in your seat way too long. Career politicians are the worst! President Trump exposed you for the wicked person you are.
No news here. The left is consumed by hatred.
Hatred is their fuel.
“He’s ruined my last 10 months.” Indeed. Cohen’s 2021 is about to be ruined once Trump makes his move and exposes why everyone who voted to certify the fraudulent election committed treason. The affidavit regarding the Italian defense company employee who confessed to vote manipulation was delivered to Congress before their vote. So they had the evidence and they knew. Trump has exposed them all.
Wah, Wah, Wah!
The signature of a true Leftist is to not take responsibility for one’s own actions or inactions, AND to blame it all on someone/thing else! Interesting that it’s the same trait of immaturity!
If Cohen left office today, NOBODY would miss him or remember him! And that scares the fecal matter out of him.
How does it feel to know that a successful entrepreneur who makes pillows has more intelligence and carries more clout than a professional alcoholic politician as yourself Steve? It wasnt our president who supposedly killed 400k with virus, it was the democratic party in conjunction with the their communist china that made and hand delivered virus into the world. Wonder how much that cost the taxpayers? I guess you’re still doing the talley on that one.
