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.

        This, from the same bunch that gaslit about the J6 insurrection (and continues to gaslight about it), and the actual related coup attempt.

      Mental Decline according to people like this:

      Enacting popular laws and policies that have helped support millions of families and individuals. Brought us back from Covid after some other asshole screwed the pooch. Literally used loopholes to provide aid to countless students and continues to attempt to rock that particular boat constantly. Kept us out of a worse economical recession. Gave us some fantastic memes.

      Actual Mental Decline:

      Well I can agree, not simped for Biden, but sure as hell made up a lot of excuses for his mental decline.
