Opinion: Michael Cohen Is No Hero
When businessman Wendell Willkie (who had been a Democrat) won the GOP nomination in 1940, one Republican Party stalwart memorably quipped: “I don’t mind the church converting a whore, but I don’t like her to lead the choir the first night.”
This is precisely how I feel regarding a slew of former Donald Trump enablers turned “resistance” rock stars, including ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, a convicted criminal who says he paid “hush money” to cover up Trump’s alleged tryst with porn star Stormy Daniels.
Since turning against his former boss (presumably, in an attempt to reduce his prison sentence), Cohen has tried to transition from mafia-esque thug to media darling.
