WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah’s favorite fantasy of late is that Republicans will take control of the House in the midterm elections, name Donald Trump speaker of the House, then impeach President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, which will then elevate Trump to the presidency. It’s a fantasy he still clings to, and he rehashed it again in his March 28 column, with a massive dose of his usual Biden derangement:
When Joe Biden took the oath of office to become president – or, should we say, presidential pretender – I was morose.
It was not an easy rigged election to take. Come on, man! Do you really think Biden got an astonishing record 81,284,666 votes – more than Barack Obama did? I believe the last three numbers – but no way did he win legitimately. He probably got half that many. He didn’t even campaign. He never left his house.
That was not easy to accept. I believe Donald Trump was the greatest president in the history of the United States. That’s right! His achievements in four years exceeded that of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. I loved them all. Reagan changed my politics. But Trump was one of a kind – a Republican and a fighter for America and the Constitution, just like Washington, Jefferson and John Adams.
So, immediately I started calculating how to get him more time to complete the job. I knew the only way I could figure out a plan depended on getting him up to six years as president – two if he assumed the presidency after a brief time as speaker of the House, followed by another four-year term.
[…]Biden is sullen, his voice hurts my ears, he’s cognitively challenged, he’s incoherent, he falls a lot – and, worst of all, he’s mean. He lies on a grand scale, and he’s hopelessly immoral.
The worst thing he has ever done was to commit a high crime against America by perpetuating election fraud against the greatest country the world as ever known.
[…] [T]he latest to join the campaign is Ed Martin, president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles.Martin told “Secrets”: “I’m serious. We need the Trump voters. With the possibility of having Donald Trump as speaker, conservative voter turnout would be through the roof nationwide.”
Let’s make it a real big “red wave.” Ride the wave. This might be a magic MAGA moment!
All I want for my role in this is a “thank you” note from Trump, and to be a semi-regular attendee at his White House press conferences.
In his June 21 column, Farah referenced a column a few days earlier by fellow Trump fanboy Wayne Allyn Root, who interviewed Trump yet again and deduced from his criticism of Mich McConnell and refusal to endorse him that “I drew the conclusion Trump is considering running for House speaker and leaving his options open. B-I-G news!” He ranted:
Do you agree with Root and me that we can’t wait for January 2025?
I’ve been waiting for a long time to get President Trump back in office.
It seems possible now. It seems necessary now. It seems VITAL now.
There is a way under the laws of our land. There always is.
It won’t be easy.
It will take much planning under our constitutional system.
There will be much opposition.
And, we mustn’t take anything for granted.
[…]We must win big! Very big! We have to take on the RINOs and the Democrats. We must deliver the House and the Senate – which doesn’t seem plausible with the mathematics of it. But here’s how we must do it. We have to win so big that we scare the RINOs into backing the “Speaker Trump” plan as the only one that can SAVE THE COUNTRY – because it is!
Beginning in January, Speaker of the House Trump then would preside over the impeachment of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
[…]“I told Trump that I don’t know if America will exist in 2024,” Root noted. “Trump responded with pure honesty, ‘That’s actually the much bigger question … will the country (exist). There’s been more damage done in the past year and a half … than in the worst 25 years in America’s history (combined).'”
The worst thing Biden has ever done was to commit a high crime against America by perpetuating election fraud against the greatest country the world has ever known.
I know this country continues to be strong, but we dare not test its limits. The plan to save it I’ve outlined here must go forward.
Are you with me?
The fact that the only folks buying into Farah’s fantasy are extremists like Root and Steve Bannon tells you all you need to know about this attempted coup by another name.
