“He Can’t Find His Footing” – GOP Insider Deals A Huge Blow On Trump Over ‘Staging A Coup’ Claim

According to a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, former US Congressman and Republican, Adam Kinzinger has dealt a huge blow to former President Donald Trump’s re-election bid after his recent statement in an interview on CNN.

In the video, Kinzinger was seen responding to a question posed by the host regarding Trump’s allegations that the Democratic Party staged a coup to push President Joe Biden out of the Presidential race for another candidate.

With a composed demeanor, Kinzinger dismissed Trump’s claim and shed light on his perspective.

“Yeah. I mean, the only person in that equation that ever attempted a coup was Donald Trump,” Kinzinger stated firmly.

“I mean, a coup by definition is trying to overthrow the outcome of a government, put a different government in place. That’s exactly what he did. You know, look.”

Continuing his critique of the former President’s actions, Kinzinger articulated, “If they’d have just said, okay. All of a sudden, we’re picking this person nobody’s ever heard of and putting them there, then you’d have maybe the ability to say there was a coup within the party.”

He emphasized the distinction between an internal party decision and a full-fledged coup, highlighting, “I think it’s very different to say within the party than a coup. But what happened is, you know, every one of these voters that voted for Joe Biden in the primary also voted for Kamala Harris.”

Kinzinger proceeded to express his belief that Trump’s claims were rooted in desperation, asserting, “So the idea that there is some coup underway is just, it goes to show to me, Jim, just a real desperation by Donald Trump and how he’s trying to get his footing. He can’t find his footing, and he’s flailing for anything he can think of.”

The former Congressman pointed out the stark contrast between Trump’s rhetoric and the unified message being conveyed by the Democratic Party, stating, “And, I think that’s very obvious between what you’re hearing from him and what you’re seeing in last night’s convention and probably for the rest of the week in the Democrats, which is a really unified message.”

Kinzinger’s bold statements serve as a significant blow to Trump’s re-election bid, as they not only refute the former President’s claims but also shed light on his own interpretation of the events surrounding the 2020 Presidential election and its aftermath.

This development comes at a crucial juncture in the political landscape, as the 2024 Presidential election looms closer and the battle for the White House intensifies.

With prominent figures like Kinzinger speaking out against Trump, the dynamics of the race are likely to shift, potentially impacting the narratives and strategies employed by both parties.

As the nation watches closely, the fallout from Kinzinger’s remarks is expected to reverberate through the political sphere, prompting further debates and discussions on the integrity of the electoral process and the role of leadership in safeguarding democracy.

With the stakes higher than ever, the clash between opposing narratives and competing visions for the future of America is set to define the contours of the upcoming election cycle.
