Democratic Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen on Monday called for the “military folks” to save America from President Donald Trump after Trump’s much-criticized press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Where are our military folks? The Commander in Chief is in the hands of our enemy!” Cohen wrote on Twitter, using language suggestive of a military coup.

Cohen’s bizarre tweet was similar to one from former Obama CIA Director John Brennan, who claimed on Monday that Trump’s press conference was “treasonous.”
Trump claimed on Monday that he confronted Putin about Russian election meddling but later sounded skeptical about the U.S. Intelligence Community’s conclusion that Russia was meddling in American politics during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Cohen’s tweet on Monday came just three days after the congressman apologized for saying that disgraced anti-Trump FBI agent Peter Strzok deserves a purple heart for facing a tough congressional hearing.

This guy is a traitor and also an idiot; for a Rep. of the people to call for a coup d’etat is traitorous especially to a President who loves this country and serves the American people. And he is also an idiot because he called for the people (the military) whom are getting the support from the Trump Presidency more than any President ever had.
I could and would understand better if he called for this on Obama because Obama, no doubt, he hates the military of all types and he also hates ‘America the Republic’.

Isn’t what he is calling for considered treason?
Hang that traitor Donald Trump from a tree after he is beaten with a whip. How can we allow a non-politician make deals with those who want to destroy America? Trump has hurt Americans with bonuses, raises, jobs and outsmarting our enemies. KILL THE SOB!
If and or when the military gets involved it will be because you global, Marxist traitors have gone too far. We’ll be done with your vile, evil narratives and immoral behavior.
Arrest those TRAITORS…!!! They are not public servants…they are SELF servants..!! God Bless America and God Bless President Trump…!!
This proves my point…This is why the Progressive Leadership of the Democratic Party have pushed hate and fear mongering for so long. Their intent is to incite the masses to REVOLT. Think about that…Do you realize how many people will die if that happens? Do you realize that most Californians don’t own weapons? Do you realize how many conservatives do own guns? Do you believe that leadership of the Democratic party CARES? Do you think they are so stupid that they don’t know this?

Cohen you stupid sob, if you are smart you will resign and get out of Tn .
I stood in a group of me, ;last night and hear 3 of them say it was time to put a50 caliber round through your head..
The military and the ex military hate your liberal csuckers with a depth and intensity that has no bottom
Trump Derangement Syndrome in all it’s twisted glory. LOL!! PRESIDENT TRUMP 2020!! MAGA!! AGAIN!!
wouldn’t they have to be mostly liberal socialist supporters to mean anything, and since barry didn’t want to raise their pay, it doesn’t look good for a coup!!!
After seeing what some of the officials in the FBI and the DOJ have been doing, I think I would trust Putin more myself. At least, we KNOW where HE is coming from and can watch out for him, with these officials, they keep trying to sneak up on us.
The Only time the Dems showed Any Respect at all for our Troops is at Voting time. They do not want a strong and effective military force, the Last Democrat President that had any respect for our troops was JFK. And this joker seems to think our troops will follow HIS orders? Guess again Bozo.
“I have President Putin. He just said it’s not Russia.
I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be. ” Trump.
From the context, there was no “not” in there.
Seriously…I’m at a loss! I bend both of my knees in prayer! God Bless America, and Keep the President of the United States in the palm of YOur Hands!
These clueless people have to go. I learn a very long time ago that to get results against the commies (the bad guys), you have to fight fire with fire! It is really simple, example, if they shoot at you, you shoot back!
Has this Nitwit from Tennessee just advocated the overthrow of a sitting President ? Is this not a treasonous,seditious statement from an elected congressman? Where is the attorney General ?WTF is happening to this Great Country of mine. Respect of the law is gone .I fear that our days are numbered. Heaven Help Us…!

Dear SC, please for the sake of the country, RESIGN. You and not POTUS are a disgusting traitor imho.
I agree !!!!!!!!!
It’s getting down and dirtier between the two parties, with only 4.5 months or so left before the midterms. Demrats are grabbing any straws they can find to undermine the current administration, while trying to forestall or minimize the coming Red Tide Nov. 6.
He is not inherently calling for a treasonous military coup. A Y chromosome does not inherently make you male and water is not inherently wet. [sarcasm; & ]
He’s barking up the wrong tree. Unless you know of any Democrat that has joined our armed forces. Why don’t you democrats come clean. Your out of options on impeaching a president that has done everything right but you are to stupid to see the benefits. You should all move to the state your rule has destroyed. That third world country of California. You all deserve it.
Hey Cohen, be very careful when you make threats against our President, that one round you are proposing could be in your head.
Sorry, bubba, but we aren’t going to do that. We WILL stop YOU, however, by any means necessary, if it comes down to it. You see, WE take our oath to defend the Constitution for all enemies, foreign and domestic, very seriously, unlike you. YOU, and your little communist democrat buddies, are, at this moment, a bigger threat to the Constitution than Russia or China.
You couldn’t have said it better !!!!!
This egregious behavior by the “Radical Left” (i.e. Democrats) aimed at overturning the election of Donald Trump to the Presidency, despite the fact that he was Constitutionally elected by the People of the United States must STOP! The public statement by Rep. Steve Cohen, inciting the U.S. military to overthrow the duly-elected government of the United States by force is an outright commission of SEDITION. Mr. Cohen should be immediately placed under arrest on a charge of Sedition, brought to trial, and if found guilty, given the maximum sentence provided by law. If action is not taken soon, this political “temper tantrum” by the Left, that has grown exponentially since President Trump’s electoral victory, will eventually lead to an violent outbreak that will be rightfully described as “civil war.”
If there ever was a moron representative from Tennessee, Cohen is the guy!!!
The Democrats must still think they are in power, that the military remains “loyal” to Obama’s agenda (end of the Republic; further establishing socialism). How likely is Cohen to be voted out of office this November? The delusion is so strong with the demonrats.
Cohen like his peers on the left is a nutcase, a socialist child, a crybaby and a damn fine anti-American…..The left is again pulling their hope for a crisis tactic some more, they just keep piling it on and soon their sh*t pile is going to topple over on them….makes you wonder who or what they will blame when they try and dig themselves out…..MAGA is the goal….America for Americans is a fact….
The word sedition comes to mind. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent towards, or resistance against established authority. Democrats do live in Bizarro World, where there are no consequence for their action.
Why don’t liberals hang themselves? Because they don’t know how to use a rope, they’re too stupid.
The left keeps howling about the end of times….I wish they would beat the deadline and do us all a favor……
Everything President Trump does he does with a certain purpose in mind! Believe me, he knows exactly what he is doing! Alot of the time, when he baits the media with outrageous stories or says something outrageous, it is to keep them busy while he does what needs to be done! I love President Trump! He can get the libs and dems so confused! It provides comic relief to my day!
Considering all the lies that by the FBI and the DOJ, with people like Peter Strzok, James Comey, John Brennan. and others. I can completely understand why Trump believes Putin over some of the things officials in the American Law enforcement are claiming.
Robert Müeller, Jim Comey, Rod Rosenstein, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe have ushered in the new level of competency, integrity, honesty, transparency and trust to the FBI.
Where are the military when people like Cohen speaks of anarchy. This is the goal of some people on the left to start a civil war and overthrow of the government. Lock them up and soon.
Wait a minute, isn’t that a Coup de’ tat(military take over)?
LOL, I went to college with Mr. Cohen at Memphis State University in the early 1970s and he was cuckoo then. He has only gotten worse with age. OMG…….All of us KNEW way back then that he was bad news. smh
What a complete moron. The amount of time the Democrats spend not doing their job is amazing! Time to GET OVER IT! YOU LOST FAIR AND SQUARE! The American people elected Donald Trump! Now go do your job!
What a complete moron. The amount of time the Democrats spend not doing their job is amazing! Time to GET OVER IT! YOU LOST FAIR AND SQUARE!
It’s called sedition. We used put people in prison for this.
The Supreme Court calls it freedom of speech.
I think, along with many others, that President Trump has a plan in regard to Russian meddling, and that’s why he said what he did. We’ll see.
I thought that advocating the overthrow of the US government/President was treason. This is the only treasonous behavior that I have seen. Calling for a military coup is treason. Sessions, please come out of the closet. We need to see if you’re still breathing.
This is a treasonous act! Quote:
“18 U.S. Code § 2385 – Advocating overthrow of Government. Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.”
Just another liberal ass hole shooting off his mouth without putting his brain in action. He better be careful what he wishes for because the odds favor a military coup backing President Trump than one replacing him. George Soros and his New World Order would be in deep crap if that ever happened.
Talk of treason? The ONLY treason I see here is suggestions by Cohen of overthrowing the duly elected POTUS!
The Democratic’s want a war! If we have one we will punish all the democratic war mongers!
We could start the public hangings with George Soros and work our way down from there.
Mrs.F posting: The DNC and liberals are so GOD awful STUPID. Too much inbreeding? The NYT deserves some serious payback for posting that awful “cartoon.” If anyone did that to obama there would be hell to pay. The DNC and Liberals are indecent evil people.
Keep in mind, the actions taken by Democrats and radical leftists are just one part of the big picture to destroy our country. They are merely puppets on a string for George Soros and his New World Order. Wake up America, the Barbarians are not at the gates, they are already inside the tent.
You can’t be hysterical like a DemonicRat Congress person and get anywhere in the US military! Yes President Trump is the Commander-In-Chief of the US Military! So what do you think will happen if silly Congress fools tell the military to mess with the President? Would not be good for those lifetime career maggots in D.C.!
These idiots have really gone off the deep end.
