Former Democratic presidential candidate Mariann Williamson — who’s supporting socialist Bernie Sanders — has deleted a social media jotting for justice from Super Tuesday night.

Reportedly, the Twitter post claimed that Biden’s sudden surge was the product of establishment Dems’ anti-Sanders “coup.’

According to Vox Editor-at-Large Ezra Klein, here’s how the tweet laid it out:

“Jake Tapper referred to the ‘resurrection’ of Joe Biden’s campaign. This was not a resurrection; it was a coup. Russiagate was not a coup. Mueller was not a coup. Impeachment was not a coup. What happened yesterday was a coup. And we will push it back.”

In the hierarchy of coups, personally, I’d put all the above way higher on the list than an anti-Bernie Bidengate.

But Marianne clearly sees things differently.

Later in the evening, she expounded upon her claim, asserting that the Dem Powers That Be have no faith in democracy. Hence, Biden’s rise:

Elite Republicans don’t respect democracy; elite Democrats don’t trust democracy. Real power in the hands of the people is a threat that neither of them can abide.

As noted by The Daily Wire, she explained further in an on-air conversation with talk radio host Joe Madison.

Marianne only deleted the tweet, she said, because “coup” is inflammatory.

And she saw the dropouts of Sen. Amy Klobuchar and former Mayor Pete Buttigieg as awful fishy:

“Listen, Pete Buttigieg didn’t just wake up that morning and say ‘Oh, I want to suspend and endorse Biden.’ Amy didn’t just wake up. That was strategized. It was a political hit. It was, I felt, very wrong.

“I think that what happened Monday night was very uncool, and I re-wrote a tweet that basically makes the same criticism, it just doesn’t use that word, which sends people climbing up a wall, because God forbid we have radical truth-telling at this point.”

It’s no wonder she’s a believer in Bernie — she ain’t too hot on capitalism:

“American capitalism has become untethered to ethical and moral consideration for people and planet, and our government has become a handmaiden to those forces. It’s a little more than a system of legalized bribery.” pic.twitter.com/0zErK6z07o

Furthermore, Bernie — who champions socialism — is by no means extreme:

Those in both parties who paint Bernie as extreme are doing so in order to protect an economic paradigm that puts corporations before people. THAT is what should be seen as extreme.

Oddly, Williamson and Trump seem to be on somewhat of a similar page. Feast your eyes on what the Commander-in-Chief thought about Tuesday’s results:

The Democrat establishment came together and crushed Bernie Sanders, AGAIN! Even the fact that Elizabeth Warren stayed in the race was devastating to Bernie and allowed Sleepy Joe to unthinkably win Massachusetts. It was a perfect storm, with many good states remaining for Joe!

So is it a coup?

Or does that matter?

At the end of the day, it seems to me, people are either for socialism or against. At least, that is, if they know what either that word or “capitalism” means.

Marianne seems to think Blue State lever-pullers are somewhat radical, even if Bernie isn’t. And that’s how the Democrats clinch the White House:

This is a contest between those who feel a moderate approach will more likely defeat Trump v. those who feel a more progressive approach will more likely defeat him. I feel passion & conviction on our side will be needed to defeat the passion & conviction among Trump supporters.

There’s certainly a crowd of voters who are Berning with passion.

But was Tuesday night about a coup, or about some seeing socialism as coo-coo?

Either way, I’m not so sure Biden’s playing the middle.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a “moderate”:
