A (Nearly) Complete List Of What Makes Congressman Steve Cohen A Lunatic
U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) is in danger of losing his seat to redistricting, and before anybody fights for him too hard, now is as good a time as any to remind the public that he’s nuts.
Cohen has a flair for drama and hate speech and constantly tries to incite his liberal base. Among only a few examples among many that are well documented:
• In 2021, Cohen suggested that most of the National Guardsmen deployed in Washington, D.C. for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration could be a threat because they are White and male.
• In 2020, Cohen said African-American Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) “might as well be” white and ridiculed the death of former presidential candidate Herman Cain.
• Also in 2020, Cohen endorsed a video of actor Robert De Niro bragging he wanted to punch former President Donald Trump in the face.
• In 2019, Cohen said the Electoral College was invented to harm black people.
• In 2018 Cohen compared U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to Adam Sander’s socially inept Waterboy character.
• In a public speech, also in 2018, Cohen wished for Blackburn to jump off the Harahan Bridge, which overlooks the Mississippi River and connects Arkansas to Tennessee.
• In 2018, Cohen disparaged the U.S. military when he publicly wished he could give disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok a Purple Heart.
• In 2014, Cohen tweeted that the Ebola virus would mutate into a Biblical-style plague that would devastate Tennessee — unless, of course, the Republican majority Tennessee General Assembly complied fully with Obamacare and expanded Medicaid in the Volunteer State.
• During the term of President Barack Obama, Cohen has said Tea Party supporters are no different than arsonists and compared Republicans to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels for opposing Obamacare.
Cohen’s district includes most of Memphis. He has represented that area since 2007.
