I think "raise a great hue and cry" predates our boy Leon and may be a Shakespear thing.
Forms of the term "hue and cry" date from at least the 13th century and are first encountered in the Anglo-French legal documents of that period.
I hath drawn thee as a chaste hwelp
lo I hath drawn mē selfum as a strang hundhue and cry about it lubberwort
Wilt thou bawl as a babe? Wilt thou wet thy breeches, perchance? Mayhap soil and spill seed?
See, cope and seethe is as old as the English language. It's a very important thing to say to someone.
leon trotsky invented the term "cope and seethe", rendering debate impossible
"nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
"Hue and cry. Die mad about it."Aside from it not being his coining, it's rich to see him try to drop a "cope and seethe" about a decade into his career of being a professional cope and seether just before finally being put out of his misery
Same energy as making it seem like Trotsky invented armored trains and the word racism
