Maine Republican Bill Cohen endorses Democrat Joe Biden for president (and Cliton in 2016)
Fox News ^ | August 26 2020 | Michael Ruiz

Bill Cohen, a Republican who spent more than three decades representing Maine in Congress before becoming secretary of defense during former President Bill Clinton’s second term, has endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president.

“We have a choice in November,” Cohen said in a statement released by the Biden campaign Wednesday. “Whether to go back to our dark past or reach for who we aspire to be -- a country where it doesn't matter where you came from, how you worship or who you love, a country where everyone matters.”

Cohen, 79, served in the House of Representatives from 1973 to 1979 before being elected to the Senate three times.

Cohen has been serving Demonrats for decades. He’s no more a Republican than the Stalinazi pedo he’s endorsing.

The “Whether to go back to our dark past... “ statement would fit better in an endorsement of Trump over Hidin’.

He’s as senile as Biden; they must sit at the same table during pudding time.

Has this man been paying attention to the news about violence, looting, arson, rioting, and chaos in Democrat run cities? The criminals are catch and release, with the victims being charged with crimes for defending themselves?

Bill Cohen supports the culture of death, high taxes, and destruction of the middle class? Is Cohen aware of the Democratic Platform?

Does Cohen know what he is talking about? Is his brain still working?

Something to consider. If you and your political family favor the Biden-Harris ticket you are promoting hate, evil and the death for America..

If you and your political family favor the Trump-Pence ticket you are promoting love, good and the life for America.,

Sex != Love

I have to say that I campaigned for him in the summer of 1979. Bill Cohen I thought was good, but he is senile. I have to check his record to see if he was a jackass as I think he is.

Cohen is despicable. All politician all the time. No moral center.

“Whether to go back to our dark past or reach for who we aspire to be -- a country where it doesn't matter where you came from, how you worship or who you love, a country where everyone matters.”

Did he come up with this vacuous bullsh*t himself, or does he have speechwriters who tell him what to say?

Yep, as I noted to Impy the other day, most of these "former Republican officials" endorsing Biden haven't supported ANY member of "their" party in decades. It would be a shock at this point if cretins like Bill Cohen, Ray LaThug, or Colon Bowel Movement WERE endorsing Trump.

I wish we could officially expel these douchebages from the GOP and prevent them continuing to claim to be "Republicans" in public. False advertising on their part.

And you're right, even Biden himself COULD claim to be as much as a "Republican" as those guys. He is a "former Republican official" since he clerked for "prominent Republican attorney William Prickett" in the 1960s, and Biden backed Republican candidate Russell W. Peterson over RAT Governor Charles L. Terry in 1968.
