'This Is A Gangster Move': Dem Cohen Goes Nuclear On Trump After Tennessee Redistricting Vote

US News: Democratic Congressman Steve Cohen blasted Donald Trump and Tennessee Republicans during a fiery press conference after a controversial redistricting vote that could eliminate his longtime Memphis-based congressional district. Cohen called the move “a gangster move” and accused Republicans of redrawing the map to weaken Democratic representation ahead of future elections. “This is by far the most difficult moment I’ve had as an elected official,” Cohen said, revealing he signed paperwork requesting not to appear on the new ballot after the district boundaries were dramatically changed. “This is for Donald Trump, to get one more vote, he thinks to stop him from being impeached,” Cohen declared. He also accused Trump of pushing mid-decade redistricting efforts nationwide, saying, “Donald Trump is a gangster. This is a gangster move.” The longtime congressman also criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson, saying Congress is no longer acting as “an equal branch of government,” and called Trump “the greatest threat to democracy” in modern American politics. Cohen confirmed he may return to the race if ongoing lawsuits against the Tennessee redistricting plan succeed in court. keywords: steve cohen, trump, tennessee redistricting, steve cohen press conference, trump impeachment, democrats vs republicans, memphis district, donald trump news, mike johnson, congress news, voting rights, tennessee politics, election news, republican redistricting, steve cohen retirement, us politics, house democrats, trump latest news, congress hearing, political news #usnews #trump #uspolitics #midterms --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos, subscribe to our channel: / hookglobal Visit our website for more news: https://hooknews.com Follow Hook here: Instagram: / hooknewsfeed Snapchat: / kl5vqrtH X: / HookNewsfeed
