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.
