NY Times Columnist Maureen Dowd Dishes on Biden 'Coup' -- 'A Jaw-Dropping Putsch' #Political
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd raised a lot of eyebrows with her Saturday column, with the provocative headline "The Dems Are Delighted. But a Coup Is Still a Coup." Liberal journalists don't like to describe top Democrats forcing Biden out of the 2024 campaign a "coup," since he's still technically in office now.
The headline the paper was softer: "After Biden Bloodletting, Time for Fun!"
It’s going to be a glorious coronation — except that everyone’s mad at one another.
Top Democrats are bristling with resentments even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the United Center in the Windy City.
A coterie of powerful Democrats maneuvered behind the scenes to push an incumbent president out of the race.
It wasn’t exactly “Julius Caesar” in Rehoboth Beach. But it was a tectonic shift and, of course, there were going to be serious reverberations. Even though it was the right thing to do, because Joe Biden was not going to be able to campaign, much less serve as president for another four years, in a fully vital way, it was a jaw-dropping putsch….
Biden went from looking “forward to getting back on the campaign trail” to gone in one weekend, with the handprints of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries on the president’s back.
"Party leaders whitewashed the coup by ornately extolling Biden," and she mentioned Nancy Pelosi saying Biden could be put on Mount Rushmore for his greatness. "Despite the grandiose flattery, Joe, Jill and Hunter were not fooled or appeased."
There was a lot of gossip about the internal drama (and Obama behind the scenes) that hasn't exactly been leading the nightly newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC.
The president already resented Obama for shoving him aside for Hillary [in 2016], and he resented Hillary for squandering that opportunity and losing to Trump. Even though Obama tried to do everything quietly to protect his saintly status, Joe was furious that Obama was sidelining him twice.
Michelle Obama’s relationship with Biden soured when his family ostracized Hunter’s first wife, Michelle’s friend Kathleen; that’s one reason the popular Michelle wasn’t on the campaign trail for Biden.
She noted Biden's first chief of staff Ron Klain went on TV with Anderson Cooper and complained Biden "won the nomination fair and square," drawing 14 million votes in the primary -- albeit with everyone trying to hide his decline. He added: “I do think, you know, the president was pushed by public calls from elected officials for him to drop out, from donors calling for him to drop out. And I think that was wrong.”
Dowd wrapped it up by saying Trump winning would "soil" democracy:
Those who pushed out Biden should be proud. They saved him and their party from a likely crushing defeat, letting Trump snake back in and soil democracy.
That would keep Biden off Rushmore.
