Not So Fun Fact: The lawyer that Joseph Nye Welch was confronting was none other than Trump mentor Roy Cohn, acting as the despicable Sen. Joe McCarthy's council.

"Welch challenged Roy Cohn to provide U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. with McCarthy's list of 130 Communists-"

Cohn goes all the way back to the roots of this MAGA shit with Ronald Reagan.

"Cohn worked on the 1980 Reagan campaign, where he befriended Roger Stone."

"In '86, a five-judge panel of the Appellate Division of the NY State Supreme Court disbarred Cohn for unethical and unprofessional conduct, including misappropriation of clients' funds, lying on a bar application, and falsifying a change to a will. The last charge arose from an incident in '75"

"Disgraced - Cohn departed Washington for his hometown of NY City where he became the ultimate political fixer and a terror in his own right. If you needed a favor, or wanted to hurt an enemy, Cohn could do the job. He talked like a make-believe mobster and counted real ones among his clients."

I heard that he was secretly gay & died of AIDS.

Cohn associate Roger Stone: "Roy was not gay. He was a man who liked having sex with men. Gays were weak, effeminate."

Typical MAGA speak. Up is down. Black is white.

"Cohn died on August 2, 1986, of complications from AIDS"

"perpetually aggressive—“attack, attack, attack” is his motto—Stone teamed up with Trump to create an ersatz presidential bid in 1987, and the two have been political partners ever since. Like Cohn, Stone is a risk-taker. He and Trump got caught breaking campaign rules" https://www.salon.com/2015/09/26/mentored_in_the_art_of_manipulation_donald_trump_learned_from_the_master_roy_cohn/

"Trump’s version of the Stone credo - is to “hit back 10 times harder” whenever he feels attacked. Like McCarthy and Cohn and Stone, Trump loves to gossip and trade in information. He too cultivates an air of menace to keep his opponents off-guard and he hates to apologize, or back down."
