NY Times columnist agrees with Trump, Dems ousted Biden in a ‘coup’

August 19, 2024 | | Print Article

It’s not often that New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd finds herself in agreement with former President Donald J. Trump but she didn’t mince words in calling a spade a spade.

In a weekend column on the festering ill feelings for Vice President Kamala Harris’s big coronation party at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the longtime fixture at the paper correctly pointed out that what party elites did to feeble old Joe Biden was a coup.

Democrats and their media stooges have gone to great lengths to avoid calling the Nancy Pelosi-Barack Obama orchestrated toppling of their own nominee a coup, a term that Trump has used on multiple occasions while expressing a rare bit of sympathy for his now-vanquished foe.

Dowd rattled the cages of leftists with her Saturday column titled, “The Dems Are Delighted. But a Coup Is Still a Coup” in which she wrote of the resentment being felt by many Democrats as they gather to celebrate the party elite’s once again rigging the process to hand-pick the nominee.

“Top Democrats are bristling with resentments even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the United Center in the Windy City,” she wrote. “A coterie of powerful Democrats maneuvered behind the scenes to push an incumbent president out of the race.”

“Even though it was the right thing to do because Joe Biden was not going to be able to campaign, much less serve as president for another four years, in a fully vital way, it was a jaw-dropping putsch,” Dowd wrote.

“At some point, when the polls cratered, Democratic mandarins decided to put the welfare of the party — and the country — ahead of the president’s ego, and stop catering to his self-regarding fantasy that he was the only one who could beat Donald Trump,” she added.

“Kamala can’t be thrilled that Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer hesitated to endorse her because they wanted more moderate rivals to compete in an open mini-primary. And Biden and Harris’s staffs are also tetchy as Kamala layers on her own people,” Down said, noting that it took days for Obama to bestow his blessing on Harris, amid much online speculation that he wasn’t happy that Biden quickly tabbed her as his heir apparent.

Dowd’s X feed was soon filled with party loyalists shrieking with condemnation and rage at the one thing that they hate even more than free speech: the truth:

“I think it was a coup,” Trump told Fox News after the Dems jettisoned Joe. “They didn’t want him running. He was way down in the polls, and they thought he was going to lose.”

“Hey look, look, Joe Biden hates her, ok,” Trump said of Harris at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend. “Joe Biden hates her. This was an overthrow of a president. This was an overthrow.”
