Opinion: The biggest surprise from the Cohen testimony
Michael Cohen testifies before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. By Christine Emba Christine Emba Columnist focused on ideas and society. Email Bio Follow Columnist February 28 at 7:00 AM There is very little that was not shocking about Michael Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
Most of our public figures would rather go down in flames than admit wrongdoing or show real shame. Racist Rep. Steve King still thinks that he’s done nothing wrong, and blackface-wearing Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam can’t bear to step down. We’re still waiting for Bill Clinton to apologize to Monica Lewinsky, and our current president, Cohen’s former employer, could be more accurately described as the brazener in chief.
But even in his combative moments he evinced the attitude of a man changed. As Rep. Jim Jordan thundered on about how he believed Cohen’s repentance was a facade, Cohen, visibly offended, shot back: “Shame on you, Mr. Jordan. . . . I take responsibility for my mistakes. I am remorseful.”
