J.D. Vance has joined the chorus of conservatives who have begun claiming that President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race constitutes a so-called “coup” in the Democratic Party.
In an interview filmed on Saturday with Fox News’s Jesse Watters, a clip of which aired on Fox & Friends Monday morning, Watters asked former President Donald Trump and his newly minted running mate, Vance, the new question plaguing Republicans: “Is it a coup against Joe Biden?” Both of them fumbled their answers.
“Uh, sort of,” Trump said unsure, looking over to Vance for explanation.
It’s a coup for the VP to take over for the President?
Would it be a coup if Biden died today and she became president? That’s literally how it’s supposed to happen according to the constitution.
Stupid fucking republicans.

That’s exactly it. They want it normalized and watered down. It’s the same projection they use constantly.
“I’m really hungry today. I think I’ll get a coup d’etat burger and fries, please”
“would you like that with or without felony conviction sauce?”
