Florida Senator Marco Rubio is not the only one upset about Snoop Dogg’s mock assassination of President Donald Trump in his new video “Lavender.” Apparently, Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen isn’t feeling it either. And he went on “TMZ Live” today (March 14) to respond.
“It’s totally disgraceful. Snoop owes the president an apology,” said Cohen. “There’s absolutely nothing funny about an assassination attempt on a president, and I’m really shocked at him because I thought he was better than that.”
Cohen also said that he doesn’t see the “artistic value” in Snoop’s mock assassination of a clown pistol Trump. The video is set in a parallel universe of clowns. A clown motorist is harassed and then shot by a clown police. Simultaneously, another young clown is recording recording the incident.
By the end, a clown dressed as the president stands with both hands in the air and Snoop aiming a gun at him. When the rapper squeezes the trigger, it only shoots out the the word “bang.”
“I would not have accepted if it was President Obama,” Cohen continued, “and I certainly don’t accept it as President Trump. In all fairness, it’s not funny. It’s not artistic.”
He goes on, “You know what’s really sad is that there’s so much more that Snoop can do for this country than these sort of ridiculous videos…Maybe something he wants to do is join my diversity coalition for Trump.
“Maybe what he wants to do is join Jim Brown with the Amer-I-can program, and maybe there are other things he can do in order to help the inner cities get past the violence and the drugs and the killings that are going on, instead of showing more killings.”
Cohen’s last scornful remark to Snoop: “Shame on you, Snoop. You should be better than that.”
