EXCERPT:

COHEN: “I mean, patriotism would say jump into hell for a heavenly cause. And the fact is when you have a Constitution and you have a rule of law, and it’s being destroyed in a reckless gangster manner, you need to act. I think the -- the only -- the only reason not to act is because of politics."

HARLOW: "Wait, wait, wait. I mean, you’re saying, it sounds like you’re saying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not being patriotic. Is that right?"
COHEN: "No, I -- not necessarily. I think, you know, you can be patriotic in different ways.

COHEN: "I’m straight with the American people. Donald Trump needs to be impeached. I think it will be the best thing for the country and the best thing for the Democrats both."
