TMZ first reported the story, and labelled Cohen’s comments the “gaffe of the year.”
During last year’s State of the Union speech, Cohen was caught tweeting ‘I love you’ on his Blackberry to a 24-year-old model. He would later claim that the model was his daughter, though a paternity test would reveal this was not the case.
Cohen issued a statement saying he was trying to convey that the Manning brothers are in monogamous relationships. All well and good – because he’s a Democrat, it will be dropped almost immediately.
If Cohen had a big fat ‘R’ following his name, this would be national news and he’d be forced to resign.
