The Democratic Party’s coup against President Joe Biden was so egregious that even GOP nominee Donald J. Trump is defending him.
The 81-year-old incumbent may have been misfiring on all cylinders but the nomination would have rightfully been his until a mutiny orchestrated by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama bullied him into dropping out and ceding his spot on the ticket to his DEI veep.
Not only was it undemocratic with Kamala Harris never winning a single primary vote, but an unconstitutional travesty in the opinion of the former president who didn’t mince words.
During a Thursday afternoon news conference from Mar-a-Lago, Trump answered questions from reporters unlike Harris who is being protected by the media, and at one point called out the dirty pool tactics that forced Biden out of the race.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: The presidency was taken away from Biden — and I’m no Biden fan. Whether he could win or he couldn’t win, he had the right to run. They said we can do it the nice way or the hard way. What they’ve done is incredible. pic.twitter.com/djrPp8Wn20

“The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden, and I’m no Biden fan,” Trump said. “But I’ll tell you what, from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at, they took the presidency away, and people were saying he lost after the debate, he couldn’t win.”
“Well I don’t know that that’s true necessarily,” he continued. “But whether he could win or he couldn’t win, he had the right to run, and they took it away. They said they’re gonna use the 25th Amendment, they’re gonna hit you hard.”
“Either we can do it the nice…I heard, I know exactly because I know a lot of people on the other side, believe it or not,” Trump said. “And they said we’ll do it the nice way or we’ll do it the hard way. And he said, alright. So they’ve really taken, what they’ve done is pretty incredible.”
While he didn’t name any names, the former president was referring to quotes attributed to Pelosi who according to a source cited by Politico said, “Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way.”
The use of the 25th Amendment as a coercive threat to force Biden to comply was alleged in a bombshell report by legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh who contended that it was Obama who persuaded his 81-year-old former underling to give up the ghost.
According to Hersh, days after Biden left the campaign trail after testing positive for COVID in Las Vegas, he received a breakfast-time call from Obama who informed him that the plotters were prepared to remove him from office using the 25th Amendment and that Harris was onboard.
“Here’s the deal,” Obama allegedly said. “We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.” According to Hersh, others involved were Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the top House Democrat.
“Now I’m running against somebody else, and we’re leading. We’re leading — so I’m not complaining,” Trump told the reporters. “I’m saying, for a country with a Constitution that we cherish — we cherish this Constitution — to have done it this way is pretty severe, pretty horrible.”
He also said that he would have thought that the party “would have gone out to a vote” or “would have had a primary system… But just to take it away from him like he was a child?” Trump added, saying that Biden is “a very angry man right now.”
“I can tell you that he’s not happy with Obama, and he’s not happy with Nancy Pelosi,” he said. “He’s not happy with any of the people that told him ‘you’ve got to leave.’ He’s very unhappy, very angry.”
Trump stirred the pot this week when he goaded Biden to show up at the Democratic National Convention and take back what was rightfully his.
“What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE,” he wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday.
