Rather than work toward bipartisanship and unity, a prominent Democrat is now taking a page out of Hillary Clinton\u2019s book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Rep. Steve Cohen, D-TN, took to Twitter to suggest Trump\u2019s address from the Oval Office on Tuesday night resembled Ku Klux Klan \u201ctactics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cohen also implied that Trump\u2019s \u201caudience\u201d is similar to Ku Klux Klan membership.<\/p>\n

Cohen\u2019s salacious tweet, which was later deleted, was in response to presidential biographer Jon Meacham, who suggested in his tweet that\u00a0calls for a border wall are comparable to the Ku Klux Klan.<\/p>\n

In another tweet, which has not been deleted, Cohen described Trump as a \u201cnational emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a #NationalEmergency<\/a> ! It\u2019s Donald Trump!<\/p>\n

Cohen has been busy since Democrats took control of the U.S. House of Representatives last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Just hours after taking control of the lower chamber, Cohen\u00a0introduced two radical bills. One would prohibit president\u2019s from pardoning themselves or their family members, and the other would abolish the electoral college.<\/p>\n

A press release<\/a> from Cohen\u2019s office stated:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSenior member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced two Constitutional Amendments today on the opening day of the new Congress.
