Pass the popcorn: Nadler to face primary challenge from ...

Come on, man. This either qualifies as one of Karen’s Feel-Good Friday entries or as evidence that the Matrix exists, only in a much stupider form than anyone imagined.
Either way, this should be amusing to watch … until the money runs out. And that will likely be before Labor Day:
Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s ex-attorney-turned-critic who has characterized his former boss as a “conman” and “racist,” is considering a run for Congress.
Cohen said he would run as a Democrat, potentially mounting a primary challenge against U.S Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., the party’s top member on the House Judiciary Committee.
“I am interested and there’s a multitude of folks encouraging me to run,” Cohen told Semafor in a brief phone interview.
A “multitude” of people want a man convicted of lying in congressional testimony to serve in the House? Can we quantify “multitude”? I mean, obviously Cohen is as honest as the day is long and this certainly can be trusted, but … naah, who are we kidding?
Semafor is almost equally honest about Cohen as Cohen is about his “multitude.” They do note that Cohen spent 13 months in prison for a “multitude” of charges, and in this case “multitude” can be taken more at face value. (Maybe someone at Semafor can spring for a thesaurus, however.) They do avoid mentioning that false testimony to Congress was among that multitude, instead offering ambiguities about being “Trump’s fixer,” and so on.
