Dowd described the actions \u200bas \u200da &#8220;jaw-dropping putsch,&#8221; citing the influence of prominent figures such \u200das\u200d Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and\u2064 Chuck\u200c Schumer in this alleged coup. Her remarks sparked outrage among liberal audiences on social media, leading to backlash against both her and the Times for what some perceived as an unjustified and harsh criticism of the Democratic Party at a sensitive time, just weeks \u2063before the 2024 election. The article highlights the division \u200bwithin liberal circles and \u2063raises questions about the media&#8217;s role in political narratives, suggesting that there may be concerns about the Democratic Party&#8217;s decision regarding Harris as its candidate amidst public discontent.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Suspicions arise when the establishment media prints the truth.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, columnist Maureen Dowd of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/17\/opinion\/election-dnc-convention.html?unlocked_article_code=1.EE4.SEkQ.47q2jzwpR60-&amp;smid=url-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> &mdash; the ultimate establishment mouthpiece&nbsp; &mdash; for some reason told the truth about powerful Democrats&rsquo; coup against President Joe Biden last month, which resulted in the sudden and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/black-lives-matter-turns-democratic-party-kamala-harris-installed-nominee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">undemocratic<\/a> elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris to the top of the party&rsquo;s presidential ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X, Dowd&rsquo;s unusual honesty left liberal readers apoplectic.<\/p>\n<p>Remarkably, the Times&rsquo; editors ran Dowd&rsquo;s opinion piece under the following headline: &ldquo;The Dems Are Delighted.

On Saturday, Maureen Dowd, a columnist for The New York Times\u2014often seen as a key establishment voice\u2014unexpectedly spoke candidly about the recent actions of influential Democrats to oust President Joe Biden, leading to Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s abrupt and undemocratic rise to the forefront of the party&#8217;s presidential ticket. This unusual honesty sparked outrage among liberal readers on the social media platform X. Notably, Dowd\u2019s opinion piece was published with the headline: \u201cThe Dems Are Delighted. But a Coup Is Still a Coup.\u201d In her article, she described Biden\u2019s removal as \u201ca jaw-dropping putsch\u201d and detailed how a group of powerful Democrats conspired behind closed doors to push an incumbent president out of contention. She specifically mentioned figures like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries as being involved in this maneuvering while also pointing out their hypocritical praise for Biden after betraying him. This level of transparency was too much for some liberals; actress Lea Thompson announced her cancellation of her New York Times subscription in response to Dowd&#8217;s comments. Others expressed their disbelief at what they deemed &#8220;unforgivable&#8221; honesty so close to the 2024 election or insisted that what happened wasn\u2019t actually a coup at all but rather a peaceful transition of power\u2014a claim that reflects their denial about the situation within their party. The backlash highlights not only internal conflicts among liberals but also raises questions about The New York Times&#8217; intentions and whether there are concerns among powerful Democrats regarding Harris\u2019s radical proposals following her recent statements on federal price controls<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2326873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Biden-and-Harris.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[4508,3685,5965,33263],"class_list":["post-2326872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-coup","tag-democrats","tag-leftists","tag-new-york-times"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Biden-and-Harris.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2326872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2326873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2326872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2326872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2326872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
