his father, a judge, and he were Democrats.

Ultimately party didn’t matter as he sought out whoever would give him a win — that’s all he cared about. TFG as his protégé is not as smart but just as ruthless.

Whichever party provided his best grifting path forward. He found comfort in the gop. No maga rally’s chock full of liberals who wouldn’t send him money. Roy Cohn, miserable human being.

I think it was "Citizen Cohn." He was a thoroughly vile person. He was like Roger Stone in a lot of ways, absolutely no moral compass.
