Nov. Surprise: Trump’s Own Lawyer Exposes His 'Racist Language' | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

President Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen details “repeatedly racist” language used by Trump, even while running for President in 2016. Michael Cohen’s friend, Donny Deutsch, says he knows “for a fact” that Cohen was inspired to speak out at this moment because of “what happened in Pittsburgh” when 11 people were killed at a Synagogue shooting. The Reverand Al Sharpton tells Ari Melber that Cohen’s allegations go “right along” with Trump’s policies and behavior.

Rather, I think that ... it's quite possible that he's come out and saying it now ...

BECAUSE TRUMP WANTS HIM TO.

If there was any doubt about their bridges being burned, that ended when Cohen went into court and under oath named Trump as an un-indicted co-conspirator to a felony

Cohen was not the one deciding who was 'an un-indicted co-conspirator'.

Is Trump in any actual legal trouble due to anything Cohen said?

Not that we know of right now.

Nothing yet has entirely convinced me he's not still willing to work for Trump, nor that he's not, in fact, still doing so.

Not saying he IS, mind you

otherwise? He's lied so much that what is actually true or not isn't the point. It's the way he has acted around others that folks have revealed of rump's nature, from his old show, from others in the past that he's dealt with, from being a scumbag landlord.

Disgusting example of a human being.

And if any republicans aren't convinced yet, ask them this, would you let rump go out w/ your daughter?

and actions as long as he was receiving a paycheck from him. I'd be more impressed if he had walked away when he became aware of tRump's racist raves, and let him know precisely why. That's when he should have been speaking out. It can be done - it's not that hard.

Each of us has to decide for ourself how much our principles are worth and what we're willing to do to defend them. I've taken that risk, and it was worth it for my own peace of mind.
