Democrats Are Now Openly Calling for a Military Coup Against President Trump [WATCH]

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, is drawing attention for remarks made during a recent appearance on MSNOW in which he suggested that the uniformed military “may help save us from this president.”

The comments circulated widely on Wednesday and prompted questions about whether the senator was implying that military leadership should intervene against President Donald Trump.

The discussion followed criticism from several Democratic lawmakers regarding the administration’s decision to target narcoterrorist boats in the Caribbean.

Members of a group referred to by critics as the “Seditious Six,” including Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, have led objections to the operation. Warner, though not associated with that group, has been among the most vocal Democrats challenging the policy.

Warner began his interview by referencing what he described as Trump’s treatment of senior military officials, saying the president showed “unprecedented disrespect when they were all brought to get a pep rally in front of Hegseth and Trump.”

The senator was referring to a meeting in which officials were reminded by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of the military’s role in national defense.

Warner also criticized personnel changes within the administration.

“This is an administration that’s fired, you know, uniformed generals from the head of the NSA, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and I think, um, uh, in many ways, the uniformed military may help save us from this president and his lame people like Hegseth, because I think their commitment is to the Constitution and obviously not to Trump, and I expect Bradley would adhere to that.”

Warner was referring to Adm. Frank Bradley, who was identified by Hegseth as the officer responsible for authorizing a second strike on a narcoterrorist vessel.

The Constitution outlines impeachment by Congress as the mechanism for removing a president, and the military plays no role in that process.

Warner did not elaborate on what actions he believed military leaders might take, leaving the meaning of his remarks open to interpretation.

Warner continued his criticism by faulting the administration’s handling of senior military and intelligence officials.

He said Hegseth was “trying to throw the admiral [Bradley], who is in charge of Socom, under the bus. This is the worst kind of action. I’ve never met Adm. Bradley. Everything I’ve known about him is that this has been an American hero. He’s done the right things. He has supervised special operations for a long time. My fear is this guy is getting thrown under the bus, the same way this administration fired the general head of the NSA, the general that was head of the Defense Intelligence Agency — not for legitimate reasons, but for political purposes. This has never happened in America, this undermining of our intelligence community, undermining of our uniformed military. This is beyond outrageous.”

Warner also said, “This is the biggest ‘ you’ve ever seen,” referring to Trump, Hegseth, and others in the administration.

The senator’s statements come as Democrats continue to question the administration’s approach to military policy and intelligence leadership.

His remarks also arrive in the broader context of ongoing disputes between lawmakers and the White House over national security decisions, including operations targeting narcoterrorist activity in the Caribbean.
