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.

    They know it’s not a coup, they are diluting the meaning of the word. Since they likely plan to use another coup attempt if they lose.

      Well, at least THIS time we can call in some fucking muscle to put that shit right down. I hope to god they lose and try something dumb and this time we are ready for them - even arrest/disrupt them prior, ideally. Get more of them in the prison industrial complex and keep them out of politics.

      I also hope they lose so that the J6 insurrectionists don’t get pardoned by that asshat donnie.
