Trump administration trade adviser Peter Navarro described House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump as an “attempted coup d’état” on Tuesday.
Navarro, who serves as the White House’s Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, complained about the impeachment proceedings on Fox Business’ “Mornings With Maria Bartiromo.”
“Make no mistake about this, Maria, make no mistake about this: This is nothing less than an attempted coup d’état and end run around the ballot box,” the White House aide told Bartiromo.
Navarro compared Democrats to Soviet secret security chief Lavrentiy Beria.
Between China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and the House of Representatives, “I don’t know which one’s more dangerous right now in the next couple of months,” he said.

The ballot box is OK with it, genius.
No, using the legal system to investigate the president’s illegal or unethical actions is not a coup…impeaching the president because you don’t like him and caught him getting a blowjob and lying about it, that’s a lot closer to a coup.
Republicans are really ramping up the warlike language around this, I really wonder if they understand the consequences…and I fear they are hoping for them.
More like a coup d’etwat, amirite?
Fearmongering dimwit…
The one wherein Cockholster received 3 million less votes? That ballot box, Pete?
