Michael Cohen, who served as former President Trump’s personal attorney, said in a new interview that he is considering a run for Congress.

Cohen told Semafor he is “interested” in running as a Democrat. Cohen added that he is currently living on the East Side of Manhattan, meaning he would potentially make a bid for New York’s 12th Congressional District seat, now held by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).

“I am interested and there’s a multitude of folks encouraging me to run,” Cohen said in the interview.

Upper east side? He would win easily.

[FlingWingFlyer]

He’s the perfect jackass for New Yawk.

"Cohen told Semafor he is “interested” in running as a Democrat."

Of course he is.

An absolutely amazing lack of self-awareness

[SpaceBar]

I guess his felony conviction is a democrat feather in his cap.

[Tench_Coxe]

It seems to be a pre-requisite to hold office as a Democrat.

“An absolutely amazing lack of self-awareness”

You don’t seem to understand that he is an absolute hero to liberals.

Just see some of the accolades they heap upon him and many believe he went to jail because of Trump/Stormy Daniels payoffs not because he was a tax cheat in his own personal business.

Funniest article I’ve read so far today.

Maybe the Jeff Bezos’ Washington Compost can rank Cohen as a contender, just like they did for Michael Avenatti when he ran for President.

[kabar]

Yeah, right. This guy is pariah. No party would nominate him, a convicted felon.

[butlerweave]

This guy is full of himself

[j.havenfarm]

I disagree. They’ve gotten their mileage out of him. Do you see them still holding up Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger? I think the that they’d elect him to Congress when there’s no shortage of hack machine candidates available is unrealistic

[faucetman]

Why not? He’d just be another liar in Congress.

[South Dakota]

A bunch of people will send him some money

[MIchaelTArchangel]

One is a fat crooked lawyer; the other is a fat crooked lawyer. Not much to choose between.

[Rappini]

He must need the money.

[sauropod]

I thought Waddler lost to Carolyn Maloney?

[jjotto]

Maloney lost to Nadler in the primary. She just moved to the next closest district.

[sauropod]

ok. Thx. I got the news reports wrong.

[mass55th]

Well, he’d get the “self-loathing” Jewish vote.
