Dems attack Hegseth to advance a coup against Trump
American Thinker ^ | 22 Apr, 2026 | Andrea Widburg

It’s a genuinely worrisome theory and, as always, DataRepublican brings the receipts.

On April 15, thirteen radical House Democrats introduced six articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth, accusing him of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The charges are spurious, alleging that he violated the War Powers Act (which didn’t apply), that he committed war crimes because Iran claimed that girls were in a building on an IRGC base that the U.S. struck, and managing the military in ways they disliked.

Those articles may have been the acts of radicals, but the fact is that the Democrats have relentlessly sought to undermine Pete Hegseth at every turn. Some of it is purely policy-driven: They want mentally ill people in the military, low recruitment, a focus on social justice, not winning wars, and the triumph of overt enemies.

However, DataRepublican has a more shocking contention. She says the continued efforts to destroy Pete Hegseth are the prelude to an actual coup. I particularly noted this because Democrats are engaged in a stealth revolution against our Constitution and the Founders’ vision. DataRepublican, however, a more kinetic coup, which requires disposing of Hegseth.

I’ve pasted DataRepublican’s full thread at the end of this post. This is a summary, with some added information:

Here’s the premise:

“Democrats are engaged in a stealth revolution against our Constitution and the Founders’ vision.”

The American Democrat party died a long time ago. It’s name has been seconded and the remenants of the party have been overtaken by the Coimmunist Party USA! and most likely funded by China and likes of Soros and his ilk. The Communist Party USA! hates you, hates me and hates the USA. It is hellbent on the complete total destruction of America as we know it, and will do anything; legal or illegal to achieve the power to overthrow our government.
The Communist Party USA! is, in essence, a domestic terrorist organization, and IF not addressed in a dramatic fashion soon, they will succeed. Adding Virigina’s scalp to their trophy case is just one more state under communist rule.
They need to disarm the Amreican People and overthrow our government. THAT is their near-term goal, and their doing quite well with it.

That “girls school” was actually a boys and girls’ school, placed within an IRGC compound. The boys’ floor (ground level) had a bunch of IRGC propaganda in it and the locals say there were 2 missiles stored there. The locals also say there was a missile launcher in the “health ctr” next-door.

The outline of the missile caught on camera was not a Tomahawk; it was that of an IRGC missile.

All the American hits in that area were dead-center; the one to the school only hit the corner.

The uncle of one of the girls killed said the IRGC did not send their kids to school that day. A girl who made it out said that the teacher acted strange so she asked what was the matter; the teacher said that there was war but they didn’t want anybody to worry. This girl went down to the ground level to pick up her little brother and get out of there but the door to that level was locked for the first time ever. Interestingly enough, the teacher and principal both made it safely out of the building (knew to get away) but somebody had made sure there were boys locked in the ground floor to maximize casualties.

The uncle I mentioned said the locals think the IRGC fired one of the missiles that was in the school using the launcher in the “health ctr” in order to frame the US for a missile hit. It was a win-win for the IRGC because the only kids in that school were non-IRGC kids.

Ir that had been a Tomahawk that did the damage it would be possible that we just didn’t have updated info. But it wasn’t a Tomahawk. Even in the regime’s video of the area that particular missile strike looks different than the other strikes in the area. But the way the teacher and principal became the cited “witnesses” after the event, contrasted with the fact that somebody locked the boys in and the teacher & principal both escaped at just the right time, suggests it was a coordinated effort. And the IRGC families not sending their kids to school that day suggests that there were comms letting the IRGC peeps know the plan.

Yes, at least throw us a bone and charge somebody. How hard can that be when there’s a mountain of evidence of Democrat corruption?

Unfortunately the reality is that Republicans don’t really care about accountability.

Sooo, if whatever it is does happen to show up on Facehook and Crapshat, most people who go there for their news and current events info can rest assured that they are truly in the know?...I don’t know about that.

0bama fired 200 officers. Amping his Leninist purge was priority.

Hegseth stands in the way of their takeover. The seditious six weren’t enough.

I agree. Anyone voting democrat these days is either on the take or politically stupid. The mid-term IQ test is coming up in november.

“girls were in a building on an IRGC base that the U.S. struck”

The Geneva Conventions, which attempt to grasp rational, moral threads to apply during wars’ barbarity formed the basis for my Navy experience helping to pulverize a major enemy base in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, I especially liked the obvious reading of Articles 28 and 29 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The VC were responsible for any civilian deaths in the base our ship shelled. Those civilians qualified as Protected Persons within the enemy’s physical control and could not be used to render certain points and areas immune from military operations. The Convention articles are as follows:

ART. 28. — The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.

ART. 29. — The Party to the conflict in whose hands protected persons may be, is responsible for the treatment accorded to them by its agents, irrespective of any individual responsibility which may be incurred.

It should be continually explained that Iran is responsible for all deaths that occur.

The problem with a volunteer military is they joined because they wanted to….. for what ever reason. Lots joined after Trump and Hegseth took over…. Good luck with their color revolution. The left does not have the moral high ground, the military intellect or proven track record to be taken seriously.
