'What the hell?' Far right 'outraged' as Mitch McConnell 'engineers a coup' against Trump

Donald Trump's allies are panicking about what they say is a potential "coup" being organized by Mitch McConnell against the incoming president.

Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host and far-right hero, took to social media on Saturday to warn his 14.5 million followers about the purported plan.

"What the hell is going on in the US Senate?" Carlson asked. "Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate."

Carlson continued:

"Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds."

He then added that "Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump."

"Call your senator and demand a public endorsement of Rick Scott. Don’t let McConnell get away with it again," Carlson warned.

Far-right Laura Loomer, whose presence by Trump's side during the campaign was seen as controversial, added to the conversation.

"Told ya. I said Republicans would lose their mind when they realized what McConnell did in violation of Senate GOP bylaws by scheduling the vote for November 13," Loomer said Saturday. "Why didn’t anyone have the balls to talk about this a month ago like I did? A little too late for the outrage given that we should have been addressing this BEFORE THE ELECTION to protect Donald Trump."

She then added, "People cried about Unity though…. This is what 'Unity' gets you. A McConnell coup to undermine the entire second Trump admin. Enjoy your 'Unity.'"
