Oops! Cohn breaks silence on Charlottesville in an interview

[malaise]

Danforth - '...our party has been corrupted by this hateful man and now we are in trouble...'

I have a front row seat for the ReTHUGs feeding fest

8. Thanks

I took a peek over at brietbart and the comments on this story are a sewer of Jewish hatred. And I'm enjoying poking the fuckers.

3. Stephanie Ruhle and guests laid into Cohen just now

One suggestion is that he's laying the groundwork for his exit at some point in the future. This statement was to counter potential reputational damage by serving under a known racist.

7. Racist? Nazis want to EXTERMINATE Jews! Remember? There's historical proof!

6. After decades

of courting white supremacists for a vote he has the audacity to say trump is corrupting the party. Trump is the natural outcome of what they have been building. His real problem is trump took off the hood and doesn't use the coded language republicans use to make bigotry acceptable to their less conservative voters. Oh. Wait, you didn't think their bigotry and hate stopped at brown people, did you? Ah, yeah. Include Jews in that hate. You work for him, you supported him. It was well known that he is a bigot, misogynist and racist for decades, so what he is doing comes as no big surprise.

Take a bow Cohn, you deserve it.

10. Same with Danforth

They were all silently supporting racism for decades

[Thrill]

9. He apparently wants a job on the Fed Reserve

The only reason he hasn't quit

11. Good point

12. The old adage "Actions speak louder than words"

It applies here doesn't it?
