House Dem seems to stun MSNBC host by donning 'Making Russia Great Again' hat on air
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Just before Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., ended his appearance on MSNBC, he made sure that viewers understood what he thought about the United States' relationship with Russia.
Cohen slipped on a bright red, "Making Russia Great Again" hat just after host Morgan Radford thanked him for coming on the program.
The stunt was a clear attempt to mock President Trump's signature campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again."
