In reply to the discussion: CNN NOW DESCRIBING 1/6 AS "ATTEMPTED COUP" [View all]Prichards115
(37 posts)45. No It wasnt a coup
Coups REQUIRE the support of the military and they didn't have it. Coups require precise timing and coordination, from Donny Dipshit, get fucking real. It was a mob of pissed off racist whites. Yes people were in danger, but there was absolutely ZERO chance the properly elected gov't was going to be overthrown! Whomever stated this on CNN is a goddamned moron is looking for shock value and ratings.
