Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) spews a bullshit baseless conspiracy theory blaming the FBI for organizing the January 6th insurrection to “frame the entire MAGA movement as potential domestic terrorists.”

Perhaps a bipartisan investigation would be in order considering the gravity of Louie's accusations.😁

So the RePuQs on the committees can gum up the works with ridiculous questions as to 'why are you looking at Paul Gosar, but nobody is looking at the FBI's involvement?!?!!!' kinda bullshit.

Setting the stage, as it were.

GOP Leadership purposefully gets the known-as-stupid ones to go and say these stupid things, which is a canny strategy on a few different levels.

Reintroduce the 1/6 Investigation and challenge them to vote on it. Surely they want this big story to be investigated. Right? Right?
