Award-winning conservative actor James Woods has reluctantly spoken out to defend President Joe Biden – or at least the office he represents.
The 77-year-old actor is no fan of Biden but delivered an insightful message on social media where he laid out how current efforts to push the 81-year-old off the Democrat election ticket is nothing short of a “coup against the sitting president.”
Biden’s re-election campaign is on pause due to a Covid-19 infection but that has not stopped the calls for him to step aside coming from members of his own party. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and even Nancy Pelosi, the former House Speaker, have reportedly expressed concerns about the viability of his campaign directly with the president.
But Woods sees a problem with the chorus of voices raising the alarm over Biden’s impending nomination and continued bid to be re-elected.
“I loathe Joseph Biden. He has been a cancer to our Republic for over half a century. Everything he has ever done has been at the bidding of his party, always putting their power over any devotion to America first,” he began a message on X posted Thursday.
“That said, he is still the President of the United States, as gruesome a reality as that may be,” he added.

“In what universe does Nancy Pelosi or any other swamp creature from the Democrat Party cesspool in Washington have the right to decide he must step down as president, simply because he is doing poorly in the polls?” Woods demanded.
“Is there not a single Democrat who can remind these monsters that we have a Constitution and a process by which our leaders are chosen? More importantly we have processes in place by which our leaders are likewise removed from office,” he continued.
The actor, who has experienced his own snubs from liberal Hollywood for his conservative views, reminded that Democrats “have consistently abused those processes in their unabashed ongoing coup” against former President Donald Trump – both when he was in office and in the years since he left.
Those attacks on Trump have “alarmed and disturbed many decent Americans,” Woods wrote.
The efforts to remove Biden have crossed into similar territory, according to the “Once Upon a Time in America” star.
“As painful as it is to say this, I believe the effort to remove Joseph Biden from office without due process of the law is literally a coup against the sitting president and must be fought against as vigorously as we would fight against the coup of a president we love,” Woods wrote.
“These wild insurrections by Democrats against current President Biden and former President Donald Trump must stop. Democrats must obey the rule of law and honor the Constitution of the United States of America, or this nation is going to be in the same turbulent state it was in 164 years ago. And that is a price we simply cannot afford,” he warned.
“There is a constitutional process to remove a sitting president, and to ignore it would be the true ‘threat to democracy,'” Woods concluded.
Though some X users disagreed and still wanted to see Biden pushed off the top of the ticket, many agreed with the actor’s stand on the Constitution.
Well said!

Agreed and well said. The office of commander in chief should be respected and if the 25th amendment is applicable then it should be executed through due process.

James, I have to be honest I had a completely different perspective on this until I read your compelling and consequential post, and my perspective was wrong the Democrats have abused the law and the Constitution for way too long, and Speaker Johnson should demand them to either…

They actively kept Bidens condition hidden and were gaslighting us about what we saw with our own eyes until it became clear he was losing then all of the sudden hes incapable of running but they still want him to be Pres until Jan. Theyre Democrats before Americans.

🇺🇸👍 I don’t think I’ve ever heard this explained so well. Thank you for pointing out the proper process that needs to be followed. It’s necessary to follow the rules set so perfectly in our Constitution by our founding fathers. We will all learn from this time in history. 👏👊

VERY well said James. Thank you for putting this out there. We all loathe Joe, but to remove him without the processes we have in place is going against our Constitution. They have been shredding it for years now. We must preserve it!

While Woods is correct, it’s still fun to watch the Democrats use their own lawlessness against each other.
