Fox News host John Roberts smeared Kamala Harris by trying to promote Trump's claims of a Democratic coup against President Biden. For the last five years Fox News and the MAGA cult have claimed Biden was mentally deficient, physically hobbled and not running the country. Now suddenly he's the wronged man by his own party. We know Trump is stupid so I'll throw up a definition of a coup. The word coup means "a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group." What's John Roberts' excuse? The Fox News host tried this line on Senator Coons. ROBERTS: Here's how Maureen Dowd put it. She said, quote, "even though it was the right thing to do, because Joe Biden was not going to be able to campaign, much less serve as president for another four years, in a fully vital way, it was a jaw-dropping push." She basically says a coup is still a coup. I mean, essentially, I don't want to say this was a coup, because nobody actually marched up to him with a spear in hand and said, get off the throne. COONS: Come on, John, that is literally ridiculous. ROBERTS: Well, you could tell that to Maureen Dowd, because those are the words that she used. (I will) But Senator, he was pushed out. I mean, there's no denying that. COONS: John, this was the president's decision.read more
