Rosie O'Donnell, Alyssa Milano and other stars respond to Michael Cohen's testimony: 'Trump is evil'
Many tweetworthy moments have come out of Michael Cohen‘s testimony before Congress Wednesday, and of course Hollywood eagerly tuned in to watch it live.
Cohen, President Trump‘s former personal lawyer and fixer, provided documents to the House Oversight Committee that he claims prove Trump committed “illicit” acts.
“I am ashamed of my weakness and misplaced loyalty, of the things I did for Mr. Trump in an effort to protect and promote him. I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump’s illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience,” Cohen stated under oath. “I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is.” He added that Trump is “a racist. He is a con man. He is a cheat.”
Rosie O’Donnell woke up like a kid on Christmas for Cohen’s testimony, tweeting, “Trump is going down – OH HAPPY DAY !!!”

Bette Midler took issue with the line of questioning from Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who called Cohen a “patsy” for the Democrats. She also slammed Republicans on the committee “determined to discredit Michael Cohen.”
SHAME ON YOU, #MRJORDAN!!

THE #RIGHTWINGERS ON THE COMMITTEE SEEM DETERMINED TO DISCREDIT MICHAEL COHEN; THAT’S ALL THEY HAVE. THEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE TRUTH…CIRCLING THE WAGONS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WANT TO THROW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE UNDER THE BUS AGAIN.

HERE’S A GOOD ONE! #COHEN SAYS: ? “Copies of letters I wrote at Mr. Trump’s direction that threatened his high school, colleges, and the College Board NOT TO RELEASE his grades or SAT scores.” Trump doesn’t want Americans to know about his shitty grades; #RELEASEHISGRADES!

How hard do you think it must be to keep a straight face while saying that Michael Cohen is a liar while defending Donald Trump who literally cannot breathe without lying?

This Cohen testimony has shown me a lot of things, but mostly that these rich white men could benefit from a nightly moisturizing routine.
— Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) February 27, 2019
These simple monotone “no’s” that @MichaelCohen212 is giving every time the histrionic Republicans ask if he’s gonna agree to not make money from his time with Tang are #ComedyGold.
— yvette nicole brown (@YNB) February 27, 2019
What does Trump have on Rep #JimJordan? Look up Trump Lackey in the dictionary and it’s that fool. *sheesh* Further, he’s SO upset about lies and crimes yet supports Tang?! How does THAT work?

I love watching all these Republicans angrily call Cohen a liar and a conman with NO regard for the chief liar and conman who hired him to do his dirty work.

God I pray young people see through this shit in 2020.

It’s interesting, and all (I guess?), but are we learning anything that any human of any sense at all didn’t already know?
That DT is a fraud, a swindler, who overstated his wealth, employed glorified hoods, and lied about paying off women?
Is there another scoop here?— Evan Handler (@EvanHandler) February 27, 2019
This is absolutely bananas. #CohenCongressionalTestimony

Tonight’s #RHONJ reunion is as good as this testimony. And that’s saying something.

After Cohen’s testimony was released Tuesday night ahead of the hearing, President Trump accused him of “lying.”
Michael Cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me (unfortunately). He had other clients also. He was just disbarred by the State Supreme Court for lying & fraud. He did bad things unrelated to Trump. He is lying in order to reduce his prison time. Using Crooked’s lawyer!
