Democrat Congressman Mocks God During Congressional Hearing — Makes Social Media Gaffe Afterward

2023-03-02

[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] In a Congress full of morons, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) certainly fits right in.
Actually, I think he pulls the curve down.
Recall Cohen is the same genius who deemed it a good idea to bring a bucket of KFC to a House Judiciary Committee hearing back in May 2019 to mock then-Attorney General William Barr for not showing up.
I fail to see the connection, but I only have a three digit IQ.
Cohen only made himself look disgusting.
He'll always be disgusting in my teeny tiny mind.
Redstate.com reported that during Tuesday’s Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Cohen denigrated Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and other conservative justices by mocking the fact our rights come from God.
So does free will. So does stupidity.
“I just wondered when God decided to give women the right to vote and why God didn’t decide to give women the right to vote back in the 1700s. The Constitution was drawn up in the 1780s. I can’t believe God would say “no, women shouldn’t have the right to vote.”
Why would God allow men to exercise free will and their own judgment?
And when God decided slavery would be illegal. God was okay with slavery until we have a war where millions of people were killed and then God changed his mind? That’s hard to fathom.
I was communing with the ghosts of Priam and Hector the other night -- that's the sort of thing that happens when I don't take my pills -- and we wondered why the gods allowed the clash of opinions. Then Achilles showed up and tried dragging Hector around the walls of Ocean City behind his chariot and it all devolved into a shouting match. So I took a pill and went back to sleep. I dunno how it turned out.
He concludes his rant by reiterating his mistaken views. “God did not decide to keep African-Americans as slaves and then change his mind,” said Cohen. “And I don’t believe God didn’t decide women could not vote until 1918.”
I'm pretty sure God allowed Vlad Tepes to wipe out 30,000 Wallachian Saxons. He had a short temper. Vlad, not God.
Here’s a reality check for Cohen: the government is not an arbiter of freedom. They decide what rights they will rip away from you.
Like they say, "With God all things are possible." With men any damn thing can happen. There's a qualitative difference.
Then Cohen committed a brutal faceplant after the hearing concluded. Cohen went on Twitter and accidentally endorsed a post calling him a racist for his remarks on blacks.
"I ain't no daggone ray-ciss. Dilbert is!"
Just a reminder your tax dollars fund not only Cohen’s salary but also his embarrassing stunts. Even sadder is the fact that voters in Cohen’s congressional district are fine with his performance in office.

#11 Now, now, Fred. It is certain that Mr. Cohen has a 3-digit IQ as well. I'm thinking somewhere around 070.

Even DENSA won't take him.

#10 He does look like Danny Devito. Memphis people are not atheists.

#9 where's DeSantis on this???

Governor DeSantis is busy running Florida, dear 746. He hasn’t time for all the nonsensical posturing in Congress that accomplishes nothing except to stroke powerless egos.

#8 Danny DeVito is a sh*tbag. I turn off Jersey Mike's commercials so I don't have to see or hear him.

#7 He seems out of step with Tennessee.

He only needs to be in step with his district.

#6 I would recruit a pastor to run against him. Cohen has provided enough footage for a complete add campaign. He seems out of step with Tennessee.

#5 First glance at pic and wondered what relevance Danny DeVito has to this……..(really need new glasses)

#3 How far from Memphis to the New Madrid fault? God seems to be in a bit of a smiting mood lately.

#2 His office is in Memphis. Nuff said.
