michael cohen stating in court that donald trump is an antiblack racist and then saying he continued to work for him after trump said horrific shit about black people.
this is our political system
our politicians aren’t ignorant to other politicians racism, they’re complicit in it.
All this shit michael cohen is testifying on trump is fucking horrifying. I encourage you to watch this video if you have time, it’s currently the live court case on feb 27th 2019 10:47am EST
Some quotes:
“He had no desire or intention to lead this nation only to market himself and to build his wealth and power. Mr. Trump would often say “This campaign was going to be greatest infomercial in political history”
he never expected to win the primary. He never expected to win the general election. The campaign for him was always a marketing opportunity.”
“I knew early on that Mr. Trump would direct me to lie for him … Lying for Mr. Trump was normalized and no one around him questioned it and in fairness no one around today questions it.”
“Mr. Assange assured Mr. Trump that there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clintons campaign. Mr. Trump responded by stating to the effect “Wouldn’t that be great””
“Mr. Trump is a racist. … In private he is even worse. He once asked me if I could name a country that wasn’t a shithole ran by a black person, this was when Barack Obama was president.”
“When we were driving through an impoverished area of Chicago he commented that “Only black people could live that way.”
These quotes just get worse yall. Again I encourage you to watch for yourself.
“Mr. Trump is a conman, he asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair and to lie about it to his wife. Which I did. And lying to the first lady is one of my biggest regrets.”
“I am giving the committee today a copy of the 130k wire transfer from me to miss Clifford’s attorney the closing day of the campaign that was demanded by miss Clifford to maintain her silence.”
“Mr. Trump directed me to use my own funds … to avoid anything being traced back to him. … I am going to jail in part because I did this to the american people before they voted”
“Other checks to reimburse me for the hush money were signed by donald trump jr.”
“He says to me, don’t worry Michael your january and february [reimbursement] checks are coming in the mail”
“He directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges, his college board to never release his grades and his SAT scores”
“Mr. Trump had strongly criticized President Obama for not releasing his grades … after calling Obama a terrible student.”
The republicans keep stating that Michael Cohen has lied to congress, but refuse to say WHY and for WHO he lied to congress
Michael Cohen lied to PROTECT Donald Trump when he was still under the financial coverage of Donald Trump.
the republicans repeatedly keep trying to prove Michael Cohen has some financial incentive to lie currently, but cannot prove this to be the case.
Michael Cohen has no income, has no book deals, has NOTHING to give him incentive to continue being in court.
All he is doing is making himself look bad to the public to clear up his previous lie.
The republicans in this case do not care about the truth, and they do not care about Michael Cohen’s lies, what they care about is the fact that he’s told the truth AFTER THE FACT.
Also so funny how conservatives are going “Cohen’s a liar. He lied to Congress. We can’t trust him!” as if it’s inconceivable Trump would ever lie, as if we don’t all have public access to his twitter account where he is constantly lying to the world about everything from his personal life to serious policy matters & statistics.
