Louie Gohmert Goes Insane After His Election Challenge Fails

Republican Representative Louie Gohmert did not take it lightly when his election challenge lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence went down in flames and was dismissed by a federal court. Gohmert gave a dog whistle to his followers telling them in unparsed terms that they might need to take action themselves to overturn the election. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Well folks, we are just a couple of days away now from, uh, the electoral college vote being officially counted and certified in the joint session of Congress, but Republicans have not let up. And last Monday, Louie Gohmert, uh, joined by several other Republican members of the house of representatives filed a lawsuit against vice president, Mike Pence, who was going to be the person presiding over that joint session of Congress. But they shooed Mike Pence to stop him from counting certain ballots in swing States that, uh, you know, they, they don't want counted cause that's, that's why Trump lost. Uh, so the case got dismissed or a case actually got thrown out, uh, and on appeal, it got summarily dismissed by a Trump appointed judge. So even the guys that Trump put in power said, eh, you don't have a case here. Uh, we're getting rid of your lawsuit. So Gomez case is over and after Gohmert case was dismissed, the dude went crazy. And I know it's kind of hard to tell, cause Gomer it's always been a little, you know, for, but he, uh, went a little more than usual.

And he said basically

In effect, the ruling would be, you've got to go to the streets and be as violent as Antifa and BLM. Um, he was, then he said that to Newsmax and the Newsmax immediately like cut them off, like, okay. All right. Thank you, Louie. Um, he, later this weekend had to clarify that. No, no, no. I didn't mean actually go out there and there'd be violent. So please don't go do what I told you to literally do. Um, so Gohmert realized that he screwed up and he tried to walk it back, but let's look at what your, your comments actually say, be as violent as Antifa and black lives matter. So break a couple of

Windows, maybe

Engage in some petty, vandalism and spray

Painting. Really.

We have to understand that there is a narrative that has been crafted by the conservative media that somehow black lives matter or even Antifa or these blood thirsty criminals, roaming our streets. That's not true.

In fact, the people

Doing that, the people who actually are violent, the people who've actually murdered people. Yeah. Those are the ones on the right. Like your people have done that. Louie Gohmert Kyle Rittenhouse, that name ring a bell to you. 17 year old kid, cross state lines to murder,

To counter protestors. Yeah. That was one of your people.

That's not, that's not Antifa. That's not black lives matter, but nevertheless, that's not going to stop Republicans from pushing this narrative because that is what Republicans do. The democratic party has just totally disavowed. Oh, we don't want anything to do with these groups. We're not a part of it. No, don't link us with them. And meanwhile, Republicans demonize them when it's actually their side. That's going out there and quite literally murdering individual people, people,

Human beings.

Yeah. So Antifa and black lives matter. Get kind of thrown under the bus by their own party.

And they get really thrown under

The bus by the Republicans as some kind of scapegoat for everything that's wrong with this country that ain't what's happening here. And Gomer knows that, but Gohmert had to take a pot shot because he got his feelings hurt because he filed a stupid lawsuit that he knew was going to fail. And he looks like an idiot. So he had to try to say, Oh, well these violent Antifa and black lives matter types. Yeah.

They're horrible. Now, Louie, you know, what's

Is that somebody is stupid as you are somehow ended up being a representative in the United States house of representatives. That's what is driving me insane. Louie Gohmert is a threat to the United States constitution. And this little lawsuit, this little stunt, he pulled

Proves that

This is not the kind of man that should be trusted. This is not the kind of man that should have any kind of power here in the United States. This is the kind of person that the rest of us should look upon with pity until they get the mental health

That they deserve.
