Summary

Donald Trump allies, including Tucker Carlson and Laura Loomer, are accusing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of orchestrating a “coup” against Trump’s agenda by scheduling early Senate GOP leadership elections.

Carlson, on social media, urged his followers to support Florida Senator Rick Scott as the only candidate aligned with Trump, warning that other candidates oppose Trump’s policies.

Loomer criticized Republicans for not addressing McConnell’s move sooner, suggesting that calls for party “unity” have enabled this alleged attempt to undermine Trump’s incoming administration.

    “Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds.”

    Vote is Nov 13, arranged a month ago which Laura Loomer thinks this was the plan all along.

      Describing Cornyn as a liberal is absolutely absurd

        You missed the Cheney part.

        They are intentionally labelling anything not maga/nazi as liberal.

          It’s all a matter of perspective; when you’re that far right, ultra-conservatives are way more liberal.

            They wish they could hate leftists as much as leftists do

              They do. It’s just a much bigger group to them, so the hate spreads further.

            Conservatives are also literally a branch of ideological liberalism.

            Don’t assume fascists don’t know what the words they use actually mean.

        The Senate majority leader sets the legislative agenda, and often what gets passed.
