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.

    Biden running against Trump and winning legitimately in 2020 they called a coup too, and they said Jan 6th wasn’t one. At some point they just show they don’t understand the meaning of the word.

      No the point is to use the word so often that it loses its meaning and then anyone who uses it will be instantly written off.
