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.

    Everything’s a goddamn coup with these people.

    Scheduling legislative leadership elections at an allowed time is a coup against a guy who is currently not in office?

    K.

        The goal is to use the word coup often so that the word loses its punch, that way when an actual coup happens people will just shrug when it’s reported and think it’s just a minor occurrence.

      It’s only a coup if it’s against them. If they’re orchestrating ir, it’s “being patriotic.”

      I assume holding the vote early is so incoming MAGA senators don’t get a say.
