Michael Cohen: Vote, or face more years of 'craziness'

Source: CNN

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former lawyer, pleaded with the American public on Friday to head to the polls and vote against the President and the Republican Party, predicting that if they did not, there would be two or six more years of "craziness."

"Listen, here's my recommendation. Grab your family, grab your friends, grab your neighbors, and get to the poll, because if not, you are going to have another two or another six years of this craziness," Cohen told CNN in a brief interview outside of his Manhattan home. "So, make sure you vote. All right?"

Cohen's remarks marked his first on-camera comments to the media since he pleaded guilty in August to eight criminal counts.

Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis, said his client changed his party registration back to Democrat last week. Cohen was a Democrat for years, but changed his official registration to Republican after the 2016 election.

He's giving trump the same loyalty that trump gives his associates, employees, and OUR country!

it was pathetic for him to continue supporting such a sleazy piece of shit.

one thing cohen has going for him is his wife and kids actually love him unlike trump .

cohen is also friends with al sharpton.

Is a friend of Cohen. Ari Melbor has been having him on to discuss Cohen and how he changed. No loyalty in that bunch at all from Trump down. Trump is getting back what he dishes out now.

I've run out of descriptive words to use to describe how I feel. I've been on this earth seven decades and I still can't wrap my mind around what has happened to our country in my lifetime.

Jesus, we need to do something and quickly!

Davis was on the radio doing every sleazy thing to hurt Hillary. For years I have refused to donate to Dems so long as Lanny is there. He is a very bad man, corrupt to his ears--slightly better than Trump, but not much.

Lanny has always been a Democratic Clinton defender. Where did you hear Lanny trash Democrats?

Not arguing, just want to know. Thanks

I don't think so. He's a staunch defender of the Clintons. What exactly has he done, sleazy or otherwise to hurt HRC or the Dems?

I would love to know!
