Trump’s personal attorney found himself in hot water this weekend after posting a racy picture of his young daughter on Twitter.

Cohen has previously come under criticism for responding to rape allegations made by President Donald Trump’s ex-wife Ivana Trump by saying “.”

Founder of Grab Your Wallet Shannon Coulter was quick to attack Cohen’s comparison to Andy Warhol’s darling Edie Sedgwick, pointing out that she was known for bucking social and gender norms for women in the mid-1960s.

“Sedgwick represented the epitome of the modern female sexuality the Trump administration is doing everything in its power to suppress,” Coulter added.

“POTUS wants to date his daughter, the VP calls his wife “mother,” and DJT’s attorney posts spank-bank material of his daughter,” wrote Bonnie Bratnober in a reply to Cohen’s tweet. Cohen responded in schoolboy style: “Jealous?”
