On Saturday, CNN's Bianna Golodryga asked Rep. John Curtis (R-UT) about the situation.

"Well, let me just tell you, I've been in Congress for three years and for three years I keep hearing all these worst-case scenarios," Curtis said. "We have to remember, it was a conversation -- not a revolution. There are far more important things in front of us and I think we need to move on and tackle them."

"But that's all you have to say to that?" Golodryga pressed. "We can't just grow numb to incidents that would happen in a third world country and we would have a State Department that would be alarmed about hearing these kinds of reports."

"Listen, you're talking about a conversation that reportedly took place. We don't know anything about the details and you just can't get me all riled-up about that."

2. . Talking about it IS a big deal.

And Republicans like this should not be encouraging such talk.

3. Of course, it's not a revolution

A revolution is the people rising up against their government. This is a military coup. Thank heaven our military are too level-headed to have anything to do with it.
