U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN-09) this weekend used his Twitter to hurl another personal attack at U.S. President Donald Trump while he also accused Trump of using the recent election to divide people.
As The Tennessee Star has reported many times, Cohen has made countless divisive remarks about Trump and Republicans.
On Saturday, Cohen linked to a TikTok video and ridiculed Trump, whose hair in the video appeared white.
“Ran out of clairol?” Cohen tweeted.

On Sunday, Cohen linked to a Memphis Commercial Appeal editorial that lectured Tennessee Republican politicians not to support Trump and not to encourage Trump’s belief that vote fraud occurred in this month’s presidential elections.
The paper’s Opinion and Engagement Director David Plazas wrote the editorial.
“Tennessee GOP politicians must stop condoning Trump’s election results denial,” Cohen tweeted about the Memphis Commercial Appeal editorial.

Cohen, speaking to Tennessee Republicans, also said that “to do as they are is helping to destroy democracy and America!”
The Memphis Commercial Appeal editorial criticized Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, retiring U.S. Sen, Lamar Alexander (R-TN), U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), U.S. Sen.-elect Bill Hagerty and various Republican members of the Tennessee General Assembly. The editorial blasted those elected officials for “defending President Trump’s challenge to the election results.”
“The unwillingness by top Republican elected officials to recognize Biden’s victory is a political stunt,” Plazas wrote.
“Moreover, they are feeding into the mistrust, the conspiracy theories and the polarization wounding America’s democratic traditions today.”
As The Tennessee Star reported in April, Cohen held a Coronavirus Town Hall by where he touted mail-in voting and warned that Russians were in America spreading misinformation about COVID-19. Cohen warned that Russians were trying to make Americans believe Pentagon staff caused or created COVID-19. Cohen, however, had no proof to back that up.
Cohen, as reported in August, Cohen deleted a tweet he wrote that prompted another person to say U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) “might as well be” white. And Cohen endorsed that other person’s comment by pressing the like button. The tweet that Cohen liked also ridiculed Herman Caine’s death. In May, as reported, Cohen endorsed a video of actor Robert De Niro bragging he wanted to punch Trump in the face.
Cohen, in April, insulted MyPillow, Inc. CEO Mike Lindell.
As The Star reported last year, Cohen compared Trump’s alleged quid pro quo on Ukraine as an affront to civil rights workers, women’s suffrage, and people murdered by the Ku Klux Klan.
Cohen also said in 2018 that Blackburn, then a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, should jump off the Harahan Bridge in Memphis.
As reported, Cohen said years ago the Ebola virus would mutate into a Biblical-style plague that would devastate Tennessee– unless state Republicans in the Tennessee General Assembly complied fully with Obamacare and expanded Medicaid.

He has the morals of Adam “Shifty” Schiff, the face only his mother could love, and the brainpower of a bicycle seat. He is so dumb he doesn’t even realize that when he opens his mouth he always makes himself look like an even bigger idiot than the last time he spoke.
If brains were dynamite this Memphis Clown does not have enough to blow his nose!
This moron was Mr. Commodore when I was at Vanderbilt. Attention whores never change. We need to continue to expose breathtaking vote fraud and give Trump his victory.
Cohan is a JackA$$ what more can you say?
