The Trump Coup Attempt That Wasn’t
Front Page Magazine ^ | Fri Jan 8, 2021 | Matthew Vadum

Leftists and weak-kneed Republicans were quick to accuse President Donald Trump of attempting to overthrow the democratic process on January 6 as individuals bearing Trump campaign flags and paraphernalia ran amok in the United States Capitol while lawmakers were attempting to officially certify the results of the November 6 election.

The election –don’t forget—that the Democrats stole with the connivance of those same Republicans.

The disorder in the Capitol complex, during which an apparently unarmed Trump supporter, 35-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, was shot to death by police, didn’t end the certification process, but merely delayed an official declaration a few hours. The barely sentient former Vice President Joe Biden, a left-winger now held hostage by even more radical elements of his anti-American party, hobbled across the finish line as he was pronounced president-elect early in the morning January 7 after lawmakers rejected a series of Republican objections to states’ presidential electors. Support for the objections collapsed after an angry mob took over the premises, smashing windows, breaking down doors, and occupying lawmakers’ offices.

Rogue lawmaker Adam Kinzinger, a Republican congressman from Illinois, led the charge against Trump, not the rioters, labeling the freelance storming of the Capitol building then in progress “a coup attempt,” in a tweet time-stamped 2:24 p.m.

Former Michigan Congressman Justin Amash, who fled the Republican Party under pressure, tweeted “Donald Trump needs to resign or be removed from office. America has endured enough.”

RINO Nikki Haley, the former UN ambassador and South Carolina governor, said President Trump has been “very disappointing” since his November election loss and that he will be “judged harshly by history.”

Kooky, noxious, perpetually wrong about everything journalist-turned-novelist David Frum tweeted, “Impeach. Remove. Indict. Incarcerate. Now.”

There no longer exists a reasonable consensus of values at the core of American culture.

Divide and conquer!

400 channels of tv, hulu, disney, facebook, twitter, and a zillion other things split us all apart these days.

“weak-kneed Republicans were quick to accuse President Donald Trump of attempting to overthrow the democratic process”

At first I was in shock. As time passes, I grow more LIVID every day at these people and finally am able to cry. (I always have delayed reactions for some reason.) My own senators, Blackburn and Hagerty, caved and I despise them with the burning heat of 1,000 suns.

Tennessee is Bible Belt. Those traitors made promises to us that they’d do the right thing. They betrayed us.

Every GOP who voted to certify the election sold his soul to the devil.

Blackburn, Hagerty, et al., became pro-abortion by supporting the RAT platform when they know, “Thou shalt not murder”. They became thieves by stealing OUR votes from us, when they know, “Thou shalt not steal”. They became liars when they blamed Trump supporters for acts committed by Antifa — obvious from the the first minute — when they know, “Thou shalt not bear false witness”.

“The democrats started CW II. What ever they get they deserve.”

The majority of Republicans helped. Whatever they get, they deserve.

They are scared to death of him. He could actually pull it off, if he wanted to.

And let me add that Trump will be MORE powerful if they make a martyr of him!

I knew that much the day I first met him, when he ran for office, and his campaign bus showed up at the Nebraska March for Life rally, in Lincoln, NE, back in 2014. He’s a hollow man - and I use the word “man” loosely.

You can’t coup against your own administration, ding dongs. And you can’t coup against a stolen office, ding dongs.
