William Cohen, a former Republican senator for Maine and Defense secretary under former President Clinton, blasted GOP lawmakers challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election in a Thursday interview in which he suggested the formation of a new political party. Cohen made the comments on CNN’s „The Situation Room“ while discussing Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-Mo.) plans to object during Congress’s counting of the Electoral College vote on Wednesday. Cohen called Hawley’s actions „shameful“ but warned that Republicans are just following Trump’s lead, calling him the party’s „ringmaster.“ „We have to remember that the current occupant of the White House is a ringmaster and what he expects to do is snap his whip and all the elephants hop up on chairs,“ Cohen said.
