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.

    Uh…this sounds almost exactly the opposite of what the text says happened.

    Title says they lost their minds, so I expected them to be the ones bringing up the rhetoric.

    But the HOST of the show said it and they stumbled? That’s not what most people would consider ‘losing their minds’…

    Could we at least be more accurate than MAGA when posting stuff…pretty please?

      I’m not sure how they got from “Trump didn’t have a strong opinion either way” to “Trump was losing his mind”.
