Former President Donald Trump said during a campaign event on Friday that the Democrats successfully pulled off “a coup” by forcing President Joe Biden to end his failing presidential campaign.

Trump’s remarks come after Biden announced on Sunday that he was ending his campaign — although he still has not provided a reason why, which comes amid widespread media coverage over his cognitive decline.

“As you know, five days ago, we officially defeated the worst president in the history of the United States, Crooked Joe Biden. You know, I thought a lot about it. We defeated him,” Trump said at the rally in Florida.

“He was badly beaten,” he said, adding that Democrats repeatedly hounded Biden to get out of the race because his poll numbers showed that he could not beat Trump. “There was nothing nice about what they were doing.”

“How about that? It’s like a prizefighter. He’s losing badly, ready to be knocked out. And they say, well, wait, let’s stop the fight. Let’s put somebody else in,” he said. “It doesn’t work that way. And it’s not supposed to work that way. And this really was a coup by the Democrats. This was a coup. Nothing else. He got 14 million votes.”

“I hate to stick up for Biden, but, you know, he didn’t want to do what he did. He said, ‘I’ll never go out. I’ll never, ever go out.’ About two days later, ‘I’m proud to go out,'” Trump continued. “Because the fascists went after him. They threatened him with the 25th Amendment.”

Trump said Democrats threatened Biden that if he didn’t take the easy way out, they would go with the hard way and force him out.

“I know as many people on that side as I know on our side, so to speak. But that’s what happened. They said, we can do it the hard way. We can do it the easy way. 25th Amendment, if you don’t go. And he said, ‘Oh, I’ll go,'” Trump concluded. “And now they’re trying to make him into a brave hero.”

Vice President Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign claims that the Democrat will not ban fracking if she becomes president this fall despite her pledging to do exactly that when she campaigned for the nation’s highest office during the 2020 presidential race.

“She wants no fracking,” former President Donald Trump told supporters this week during a rally in North Carolina. “You’re going to be paying a lot of money. You’re going to be paying so much. You’re going to say ‘bring back Trump.’”

The Harris campaign responded to Trump’s remarks by saying: “Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class.”

However, the then-U.S. Senator from California — who was rated as the most far-left Democrat in the Senate — stated unequivocally while campaigning for office in 2020 that she would outright ban fracking.

“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” she told an audience member during a CNN town hall event in 2019. “And starting with what we can do on day one around public lands, and there has to be legislation. That’s something I’ve taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue, and to your point, we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the health and safety of communities.”

During an appearance on Jimmy Fallon in 2019, she called climate change the “single greatest threat” facing the world and said she was committed to passing the extreme Green New Deal and “finally putting an end to fracking once and for all.”
