Cohen to run as an independent? He’s not ruling it out.
The pawnbroker-cum-politician who withdrew from the general election after being excoriated for abusing steroids, allegedly threatened his family and held a knife to the throat of a prostitute alluded to the possibility he would run independently in an interview Monday.
“I ran for office to help the people,” Cohen said. “The problem was the media was hammering me so bad…This is more outrageous because I gave the people the opportunity to know. It was out there, they all knew!”
Asked whether he wouldn’t run for office, Cohen said “I never said that. I realized from this whole thing that every single thing you say is on the record.”
