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.

        We thought that the insanity would eventually make Trump and MAGA candidates unelectable. That hasn’t happened yet, so I’m not sure if limiting it really matters.

          Yup. Americans are to stupid or racist or misogynist or whatever to actually learn. I think Americans need to finally feel the dildo of consequences that rarely comes lubed fully to maybe finally learn.

    “Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds.”

    Vote is Nov 13, arranged a month ago which Laura Loomer thinks this was the plan all along.
