Rep. Steve Cohen Melts Down, Defends Tweet Calling for Military Coup
Breitbart ^ | 7/18/18

Posted on 07/18/2018 5:27:32 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) this week repeatedly defended his tweet that implied that America needed to have a military coup to remove President Donald Trump after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump held a summit with Putin on Monday, in which the 45th president declined to directly chastise Putin for allegedly trying to influence the 2016 presidential election, even when asked by an Associated Press (AP) reporter to do so. President Trump blamed the Russia investigation for some of the friction between the two countries.

In response to the summit, Rep. Cohen tweeted on Monday, “Where are our military folks? The Commander in Chief is in the hands of our enemy!”

Congressman Cohen then proceeded to tweet several times suggesting that he never implied that the military needs to intervene in light of the Trump-Putin summit.

Cohen is one of those liars that Obama was railing against in his Kenya speech yesterday. Of course, Obama never lied to the American people…...

Cohen sure as hell did ask for the presence of the military, stating the Commander in Chief (the position) is in the hands of the enemy.

“BREAKING: Trump just said he trusted Putin over the American military and the American intelligence services...”

Yes, that is why he got them over $700 billion in the budget lately.

And who does trust American intelligence under the leadership of Obama’s clones?

Of course, he never mentioned the American military in the press conference. But don’t let facts get in the way of stupidity.

Could he be charged criminally? If so, why hasn’t this happened. And why isn’t Trump making an issue of this?

This moron is backing off a *lot* of comments.

Rep. Steve Cohen regrets Purple Heart remarks, vets call them ‘insult to every service member'

Remember this is the guy that believes that Strozk deserves a purple heart for his actions as an FBI agent. By the way, I thought purple hearts go to guys that are wounded.

I hope this guy has a competent Republican opponent in the upcoming election because the opponent’s TV ad scripts have already been written.

That’s true, and it certainly doesn’t apply to people born without a brain, like him. 👎

Why hasn’t he been charged? It’s easier to muddy the water with this than to take legal action.

"OUR" military folks and ALL those that take their oath to God and country seriously stand firmly behind the Commander-in-Chief.

This traitor is calling for the deliberate MILITARY overthrow of the legitimately elected president.

I say we throw this asswipe in prison without a trial and we will see exactly how much he likes his existence in a country without the rule of law.
