Democrat 2020 Election Slogan: Pigs in the Trough

Add an ’s’ to the viral ‘Pig in the Trough’ picture of Democrat Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen pigging out on the colonel’s Kentucky Fried Chicken on the day after Attorney General William Barr’s Senate testimony. It’s the picture that best describes Democrats on the 2020 campaign trail. Pigs in the Trough Democrats will demolish anything and anybody if it gains them soul-crushing power.

“Attorney General William Barr skipped out on the House Judiciary hearings Thursday, but in his stead was a ceramic chicken and bucket of KFC fried chicken courtesy of Tennessee congressman Steve Cohen. (Variety, May 2, 2019) Cutesy Cohen dubbed the Attorney General “ChickenBarr” for failing to appear for the second day of testimony regarding the Mueller report.

“Barr did, however, testify for over four hours during Wednesday’s hearing. Cohen tweeted on Wednesday, “#ChickenBarr won’t be appearing before @HouseJudiciary tomorrow. The Attorney General shouldn’t be afraid of taking questions from counsel or members. Contemptible behavior. Fortunately, we have subpoenas ready.” (Variety)

Hilariously enough AG Barr already had 14 investigations into FISA abuse and Hillary Clinton’s emails before Cohen made his “Fortunately, we have subpoenas ready” claims.

“The Congressman retweeted a photo of himself eating from a bucket of KFC. He even offered pieces of fried chicken to passersby as well as his seat neighbors.” (Variety)

But because his grandiose offer was made before 9 a.m., there were no takers. Not many people want to consume greasy chicken so early in the day.

Democrats up for 2020 election are down to the last one, Pigs in the Trough

Cohen’s over-the-top Tweet is one that is here to stay. Thanks to his chicken stunt, every Republican, Libertarian and Independent can now use Cohen’s ‘Pig in the Trough’ pic on the front page of millions of campaign brochures in an election campaign story that tells it exactly as it is: Democrats up for 2020 election are down to the last one, Pigs in the Trough.

“Cohen’s stunt has inspired memes across the internet, including an entire twitter page dedicated to the Cohen-coined DOJ/poultry portmanteau. (Varity) “Videos have popped up around the interviews taking Cohen’s lead in comparing the Attorney General to the apocryphally cowardly bird.

White House officials don’t think we are giving Attorney General Bill Barr enough respect. I don’t think #ChickenBarr deserves any respect. He has misled Congress and the public, abused his office for political purposes, and trampled on the #Constitution. #CultureOfCorruption pic.twitter.com/Ho37qSUGjA

Cohen is a big time ‘progressive’ in the desperado Democrat Party

Cohen is a big time ‘progressive’ in the desperado Democrat Party. “At a June, 2008 campaign event, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi referred to Cohen as “the conscience of the freshman class”, adding “He is a progressive and an important member of the Transportation Committee, which provides the infrastructure for jobs that will make America more competitive in the global economy”. (WayBack Machine) “On September 10, 2008, while speaking on the floor of the House, Cohen compared Obama's work as a community organizer to Jesus' work.”” (CNN) Meanwhile, Mega Thanks to greasy-chinned Rep. Steve Cohen for coming came up with the best slogan of them all for Democrats in the 2020 race: ‘Pigs in the Trough’!
