Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) called for a military coup to overthrow President Donald Trump over his attempt to make peace with Russia.

On Monday, Cohen shared a tweet from Democrat hack Scott Dworkin which said Trump was a "traitor" who committed treason by saying he "trusted Putin over the American military and the American intelligence services."

Cohen responded saying, "Where are our military folks ? The Commander in Chief is in the hands of our enemy!"

After his call for a military coup went viral, he responded saying his call for a coup wasn't a call for a coup:

Absolutely not https://t.co/hVf8HSJgTi

Plotting a coup on twitter? Think https://t.co/Bo1yYFjlD5

He eventually said he just wanted "military folks" to "comment" on Twitter about Trump's "awful anti American show in #HelsinkiTreasonSummit."

Wanted military folks who serve USA to Comment on twitter about awful anti American show in #HelsinkiTreasonSummit #PutinsPuppet . After all twitter is for tweets not a coup. Twitter isn’t action world but show your colors world. https://t.co/jx6G7zmdJH

The notion this slimeball would hold any sway over our military, which is composed mostly of middle Americans he despises, is as laughable as the idea his comments were not a call for a coup.

Last week, Cohen told disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok, "If I could give you a purple heart, I would."

Former Marine Corps bomb technician Joey Jones told Fox and Friends he found Rep. Cohen's remarks "disgusting" and "disgraceful."
