'What the hell?' Far right 'outraged' as Mitch McConnell 'engineers a coup' against Trump
Donald Trump's allies are panicking about what they say is a potential "coup" being organized by Mitch McConnell against the incoming president. Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host and far-right hero, took to social media on Saturday to warn his 14.5 million followers about the purported plan.....
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I’ll believe it when I see it. McConnell is a cold warrior and a Reagan Republican at heart, but he’s also soulless and evil like the rest of them.
Does some part of him still give a shit about his country? I find it hard to believe.

I doubt it. This is probably for selfish reasons.
Wasn't he on the record criticizing Trump over j6 at some point? Might not have actually done anything about it, but that's probably incentive to at least want to avoid letting Trump go full dictator, lest he eventually find himself targeted for past disloyalty
He was against impeachment and banning Trump from future office, because he was out of office and it was up to the justice department.
Well Mitch, the hen has come back to roost.
Probably worried about his wife getting sent to prison
If he gave a shit about the country, he would have voted to convict Trump back in 2020.
A big part of Project 2025 is eliminating checks and balances, and consolidating power into the Whitehouse. That means taking power away from the house and senate, and from McConnell.

Ah there it is. It's not about saving the USA, it's about him losing power.
