Attorney Michael Cohen, who famously turned on President Donald Trump, is getting roasted online after apparently making peace with the White House and landing a huge new media gig.

The New York Post reports that Cohen, Trump’s onetime personal lawyer and “fixer,” will host a talk show on WABC 770 Radio. Cohen will take over the Sunday radio host slot from former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is taking the summer off.

Cohen has admitted to arranging hush-money payoffs to porn star Stormy Daniels and to former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal to keep them quiet about alleged affairs with Trump.

"I was told the president gave me a glowing recommendation for this gig because he believes I’m going to be the next Rush Limbaugh,” Cohen said.

John Catsimatidis, owner of WABC, hired "disgraced" Anthony Weiner for more than a year and he had listeners. But he just as easily let go of Weiner. Weiner was hired as a "heel", meant to enrage otherwise MAGA listeners, not to balance the programming.

We'll see how long Cohen lasts.

Just because his comments on his MSNBC appearances hit all the right emotional buttons, they were given the same gravitas as constitutional law experts and veteran Dem politicians, and reposted with breathless exhilaration.

Cohen has always been nothing but a wannabe mob consigliere opportunist.
