“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,” she wrote.
“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. And when Kamala Harris deftly cemented her position as the nominee, the party erupted in a dizzying sense of possibility,” Maureen wrote.
The columnist wrote that the party leaders “whitewashed” the coup by “ornately extolling Biden”.
“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,” she wrote.
Social media users pointed out that Biden handing over to Kamala is not a coup and the columnist was trying to create a wedge among the Dems.
