This morning the Trump base and alt-right totally imploded over controversial comments made by Trump’s economy director, Gary Cohn.
Did Gary Cohn REALLY just call #Antifa, "Citizens standing up for equality and freedom?"
President Trump, fire this man now.

Cohn expressed some concern over the comments Trump made about Charlottesville. And that’s enough for the base and the alt-right to call for his head.
You can read his comments in our earlier post here.
It’s causing absolute outrage from his base, that has been habituated into always being on the offense, never giving the left an inch, no matter who’s right or wrong.
Goldman Sachs' Gary Cohn "reluctant" to quit due to his "commitment' to American ppl. Don't ignore your conscience on our account, Gary!

I thought White House Economic Adviser Gary Cohn was working for @realDonaldTrump, but it sounds like he's working for the fake new media.

As a fellow Jew #GaryCohn is an embarrassment. Either stay or go. Be a man about it. #Trump

Trump said everything a person could about charlotteville! Enough!!! Fuck Gary Cohn disloyal bitch!!!

Gary Cohn must be confused. Has president Trump not condemned all hate groups numerous times now?
Enough of this already.

This is the best:
Trump needs to fire these people in the following order:
1. Gary Cohn
2. Dina Powell
3. Jared Kushner
4. Ivanka Trump
Get back to your base.— ✞♕In God I Trust♕✞ (@InGodIDoTrust) August 25, 2017
LOL! Good luck with that, buddy.
Breitbart of course was at the forefront of the criticism:
No reaction from Trump yet, but here's how Breitbart's reacting to Gary Cohn's criticism of Trump. Note the globes around his name. pic.twitter.com/nUoJswgarW

And they have an odd conspiracy theory that Cohn is able to keep Trump from seeing the outside world:
Step 1: Take total control of what POTUS sees from the outside world.
Step 2: Dump on POTUS in outside world. https://t.co/nLRduwKQBn— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) August 25, 2017
Of course, some of the worst scumbags are attacking Cohn for being Jewish:
@realDonaldTrump Gary Cohn is a wish washy traitor without the balls to quit. His status as a Jew is more important to him than you are.

And this is very odd:
If Gary Cohn is so concerned with racism why did he kick Sheriff Clarke out? https://t.co/36Ez1HMXUO
— Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) August 25, 2017
Uh, maybe because he thought Sheriff Clarke was incompetent? I guess he should have kept him on just because he was black? I thought we were against such things?
But then the left is attacking him too!!
Geesh. Poor guy can’t catch a break!!
There’s a report that White House insiders believe Trump will EXPLODE when he sees this, but Sarah Huckabee Sanders says NO:
Sarah Sanders says Pres. Trump and Gary Cohn have spoken many times and he "has not held back what his feelings are." pic.twitter.com/vpF1VnAcp2
