Cohen: Here's the Racist Stuff Trump Told Me


 news  21 hours ago
Newser — Neal Colgrass

After the Pittsburgh synagogue shootings, Michael Cohen tweeted about the need to "tone down rhetoric" and leveled an accusation against President Trump: that his former boss had made racist remarks when they worked together.

"I should have been a bigger person, and I should have left," he tells Vanity Fair. The former Trump "fixer"—now a registered Democrat who has pleaded guilty to several charges, including bank fraud and campaign finance violations—made the following accusations:

After a 2016 Trump rally, Cohen watched the event on TV and told Trump that his supporters were mostly white.

"I told Trump that the rally looked vanilla on television," says Cohen. "Trump responded, 'That's because black people are too stupid to vote for me.'"

This is just great two days before election. 
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

I think we may be immune, @Chosen Daughter.  I pretty much don't believe much that I read in the press, and certainly not coming from Cohen.  Isn't he under indictment for lying?

With Trump's approval among blacks at around 29% on the eve of the election does this surprise you?

Here's a guy who was running an illegal scam with taxis and got caught. Now I am supposed to believe Trump is a racist after this crook spent the last couple years praising him to the hilt. Not buying it.

Great, not buying it.  Whether you or I buy it isn't the issue.  It is the people of color who have not voted yet.  Cohen is just another one of Trumps "only the worst"  law associates.  When you associate with criminals and hire shady people this is what you get.  There is no loyalty in crime.

The black people who #Walked Away ("Blexit") had been told all  these things to keep them on the Rat Plantation.  I doubt that group will be inclined to believe this story, or have it influence their vote.  They're the ones who realize they've been lied to all these generations.

Doubt.

These are the people who have been motivated by constant reminders from the left of racism.  I hope you are right.  I don't have the same faith you have.  Black people are motivated by racism.

The proof of that pudding will be in the Wednesday morning tasting...over my little life my experiences lead me to believe in the correctness of your observation most black people are motivated by racism.  My hopes are that segment of our society is gradually waking up to the error of their ways.

I haven't heard of the taxis scam. What was that?

Who can complain about optimism?  I hope so, but wouldn't make any predictions.  These are lifelong Democrats.

Excerpt:

Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis, said his client changed his party registration back to Democrat last week. Cohen was a Democrat for years, but changed his official registration to Republican after the 2016 election.

Asked about that decision to change his party registration, Cohen told CNN: "I've been Democrat for pretty much my whole entire life. I switched because of a request of the RNC. Couldn't be the vice chair of the RNC and be a Democrat."

CNN reported this week that Cohen is now willing to campaign for Democrats -- and against Trump -- in the midterms and the 2020 presidential election. Notably, he is prepared to call out anything he views as lies told by the President, a source with knowledge said.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/19/politics/michael-cohen-vote-craziness/index.html

My guess is that no one here is going to hold Trump accountable for this idiocy.  Why would he have trusted someone so deeply Democratic like this looser?  Only switching his party 2016.  Another liberal looser that Trump trusted.  Only the worst of the worst.  Self destruction.

Trump's children couldn't vote for him in the primary because they were registered Democrats...

Trump has been a member of at least three parties since 2000... The very same guy that suggested he would run third party if he didn't get the nomination in 2016...

It is an upside down world...

Predictions?  @Chosen Daughter, I wouldn't make book on anything right now, except maybe Poker.

That's a good question, and I was wondering myself.  Why would a man running as Republican hire liberals like Cohen?  He switched parties just for Trump?  The woman Amarosa was the same.  Worked for the Clintons.  Looks like he wanted to hire liberals.  And it is coming back to bite him.  But its self sabotage.

Maybe because Trump wasn't a Republican when he hired Cohen...

But he was when he brought Cohen on as President.  Funny but Cohen says RNC requested he change party.  Maybe they are stupid too.

Asked about that decision to change his party registration, Cohen told CNN: "I've been Democrat for pretty much my whole entire life. I switched because of a request of the RNC. Couldn't be the vice chair of the RNC and be a Democrat."

He's been Trump's fixer lawyer for a long time. It was when Trump wanted Cohen to be vice-chair of the RNC that he was asked to change his party affiliation. Looks kinda bad to have the RNC vice-chair be a registered Democrat... It has always been about appearances and not ideology. Because the ideology is squarely New York city swamp.

For all of his faults, I don’t think Trump is an overt racist.  During his casino years, he was close with people like Don King and defended Tyson, during his rape trial.  The color he sees first is green.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

I guess we will have to see how all of this drama has affected mid term elections.  Trump out on the trail for two and a half months working to get votes while his hired help is at work destroying GOP.  Amarosa, Cohen.  The drama of people in his administration working against him.  Leaking from within.  Nothing worse than the enemy within.

And all the while good citizens like me have been trashed here for being critical where appropriate.  It isn't me that is going to be voting Democrat but you can bet some of the people Trump hired will be.

I guess you would have to believe that Trump could shoot someone on Fifth avenue and people wouldn't care.  That is if you believe that the hired help telling stories of racism won't affect the vote.
