Congressman Steve Cohen Rebukes Progressive Magazine for Coverage of TN-9 Primary Challenge by State Rep. Justin Pearson

U.S. Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN-09) expressed his frustration with The Nation in a letter to the editor published on Thursday by the progressive magazine in response to its recent coverage of the primary challenge launched by State Representative Justin Pearson (D-Memphis). 

Cohen's letter was written in response to the October 8 coverage of Pearson by The Nation, which began by positively comparing the Tennessee Democrat to Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for Mayor of New York, and closed by describing Cohen's campaign slogan as "unfathomable."
