Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Readout” that if the former president wins the November election, “there will never be another election.”
Host Joy Reid said, “Let me play what you said about Trump when you testified to Congress in 2019.”
Testifying before Congress in 2019, Cohen said, “Given my experience working for Trump, if he loses the 2020 election, there may never be a peaceful transition of power.” I’m concerned,” he said. That is why I have agreed to appear before you today. ”
“We saw a 600% spike in threats against election officials following the lawsuit to remove Donald Trump from the ballot,” Reed said. There are talks of election workers quitting in states like Arizona. You expected him not to step down peacefully. he didn’t. If he is convicted in this New York case, what do you think will happen next?”
Cohen said: “Of course he’s going to continue trying to rally the troops, the MAGA troops. But a better prediction I’d like to make is, if God forbid Donald to win a million times in 2024, My prediction is that there will never be another election after that.”
Reid said, “I agree with you.”
