Now, this makes me boiling mad! Chuck Grassley Seems To Be Saying That It Is Fine To Plot A Coup

Chuck Grassley Seems To Be Saying That It Is Fine To Plot A Coup As Long As A President Doesn’t Do It.

Sen. Grassley seemed to be suggesting that plotting a coup is just “locker room talk.” Unless the government is actually overthrown, then it is no harm, no foul.


But, Chuck Grassley does admit that Donald Trump did plot to overthrow the US government and its constitution.

and the head coup person is an republican president.

Anyone else/party it's treason and the death penalty. Got that.

Unfortunately that is the mind set of republicans. Therefore, January 6, 2021, everyone who planned and was involved need to be held accountable.

The coup doesn't matter, but if he and his buddies had overthrown the government, then...we wouldn't be listening to his traitor ass give us excuses.
