Top Trump White House aide Peter Navarro on live, national television Tuesday evening explained how he and Trump allies were plotting to overturn the free and fair 2020 presidential election.
Speaking very candidly and openly to MSNBC host and chief legal correspondent Ari Melber, Navarro got so detailed in how they were trying the keep Trump in office despite the will of the voters that Melber was forced to interject, saying, “Do you realize you are describing a coup?”
Navarro insisted that was not the case.
At another point in Navrro’s rambling interview, Melber was again forced to interject, this time saying, “People like you are who the Constitution is trying to stop.”
“We have an entire system designed to thwart … people like you.”
Navarro has been promoting his new book. The Washington Post‘s Aaron Blake in response to its revelations on Tuesday wrote: “We’ve reached the ‘Yeah, it was pretty much an attempted coup, so what?’ stage of the Jan. 6 probe.” He calls Navarro’s revelations “further confirmation that the Trump team’s brazen attempt to overturn the 2020 election result was what we thought it was.”
