Gohmert calls for Congress to ban Democrats

[Mrs. Overall]

Rep. Louie Gohmert has introduced a resolution calling for Congress to to ban any political organization or party that has ever held a public position supportive of slavery or the Confederacy.

Gohmert specifically pointed at the Democratic Party’s position on slavery.

Gohmert released the following statement:

“As outlined in the resolution, a great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred. Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan. As the country watches violent leftists burn our cities, tear down our statues and call upon every school, military base and city street to be renamed, it is important to note that past atrocities these radicals claim to be so violently offensive were largely committed by members in good standing of the Democratic Party. Whether it be supporting the most vile forms of racism or actively working against Civil Rights legislation, Democrats in this country perpetuated these abhorrent forms of discrimination and violence practically since their party’s inception. To avoid triggering innocent bystanders by the racist past of the Democratic Party, I would suggest they change their name. That is the standard to which they are holding everyone else, so the name change needs to occur.”

Gohmert’s resolution is co-sponsored by Reps. Andy Biggs, Jody Hice, Randy Weber and Andy Harris.

11. What a gift to Democrats this would be. He's that dumb.

Let's assume this somehow passed.

Overnight, the Democrat Party would disband and, being a non-profit corporpation it would have to give it's assets to some group. So, the DNC has already formed a new poltical corporation with a new name to receive all those assets.

Voila, the Democratic Party is rebranded as something shiny and new and the cons can no longer make their dumbass arguments about Democrats because this new party is wholly new and innocent of any negativity from the past.

29. Theater by an idiot, but a Democratic rep should counter re 1964 & Nixon's '68 Southern Strategy.

When ALL the racist yahoos scuttled to the Republican Party.

The Democratic Party CHANGED its ideals, became more inclusive and forward-thinking regarding social issues.

The Republican Party has been stuck in “reverse” since, what? WWII? Post-Eisenhower? To the point now, where they’re completely insane.
