Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen Denies Tweet ‘Where is Our Military Folks? The Commander in Chief is in the Hands of Our Enemy!’ Was Call for Military Coup Against President Trump

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN-09) denied this afternoon that his tweet earlier in the day in which he stated “Where is our military folks? Commander in chief is in the hands of the enemy” was a call for a military coup against President Trump.

 

Cohen attempted to “clarify” what seemed to many to be a call for a military coup against President Trump on Twitter about an hour later in response to a tweet from Christopher D. White of the Daily Caller News Foundation, but did not appear to do so successfully.

“I assume you mean: why aren’t members of the military sounding off on this? Not. Why isn’t the military taking up positions to take out the POTUS? Because it’s not totally clear,” White asked.

“Of course,” Cohen responded.

White pushed back.

“Of course *what*? Which is it?” he tweeted.

Cohen did not respond.

 

Just last week, Cohen attempted to walk back an outrageous statement he made to anti-Trump FBI lovebird Peter Strzok during the disgraced FBI agent’s testimony before a Congressional committee.

Cohen insulted veterans around the country when he said he thought Strzok should be awarded a Purple Heart for his anti-Trump activities at the FBI, as The Tennessee Star reported:

CBS has a slightly more detailed report. Evidently Cohen believes the hearings are little more than a distraction and went out of his way to praise Strzok.

Rep. Cohen says this hearing is just a distraction.

“If I could give you a purple heart, I would,” Rep. Steve Cohen said, calling the hearing an “attack” on Strzok.

Cohen criticized the hearing as a distraction from Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and a way to discredit Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

“It’s astonishing to me that you would be put on trial as you have today,” Cohen said, praising Strzok’s work in security.

Earlier today, the president’s Democrat and Deep State opponents began a coordinated attack against him while he was overseas meeting with Russian President Putin in Helsinki, Finland.

Former Obama administration CIA Director John Brennan said earlier today that President Trump should be impeached for treason because of the press conference he held with Putin.

Brennan himself has denied that the discredited GPS Fusion “Russian showers” document played any role in his communications with FBI regarding the Mueller investigation, but his denial has been disputed.

Earlier this week, Mueller announced indictments of 12 Russian agents for interfering in the 2016 election. As former prosecutor Andy McCarthy has pointed out at National Review, these were purely political indictments, as none of those indicted will ever be brought to trial, since they are in Russia and will never come to the U.S.

The coordinated attacks against the president by his Democrat and Deep State opponents began just as Trump was meeting with Putin in Helsinki, Finland.
