Settle down, Lou.
In a conversation on his Fox Business show Wednesday, Lou Dobbs accused Democrats of wanting to overthrow the government. As in “carry out an actual coup d’etat.”
Guest Byron York of The Washington Examiner told the host that House Democrats could not rely on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation to provide the basis for impeaching President Donald Trump.
In a bit of a stretch, Dobbs replied that Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the House intelligence committee chairman, said Mueller should be investigated for his probe. (Schiff actually questioned whether Mueller’s probe is going deep enough into Trump’s ties to Deutsche Bank.)
“They have realized they’ve gotta do it themselves,” York said of the Democratic lawmakers. “They cannot depend on Mueller but they want to keep pursuing the president.”
“No, they want to destroy the man,” Dobbs replied in the exchange shared by Media Matters, above. “They want to subvert his administration. They would love to carry out an actual coup d’état.”

I don't think this is "a bit of a stretch", nor do I think Lou should "settle down".
The BIGGEST deficiency in today's "news (sic) organizations" is that they have been settled down before the reporters ever go on the air. If anything we need even MORE people like Lou who call things as they see them.
And frankly I totally agree with him. Many high ranking Democrats and their supporters have made public statements suggesting they want to overthrow the President or cause him physical harm. But somehow they've all been given a free pass so far. Is it Lou or they who need to settle down?
The answer should be obvious, unless you are one of the coup plotters yourself.
By the way, the highly regarded attorney Alan Dershowitz agrees that some in the US have been attempting a coup. I doubt he would make such a claim if it didn't have a sound legal foundation.
