Capitol Police Reportedly Feared Rep. Louie Gohmert's Election Rant Could Spark Violence

Days before the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, an assessment by U.S. Capitol Police analysts highlighted heated remarks by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) as potentially encouraging violence over Donald Trump’s presidential election defeat, Politico reported.

The analysts noted in a Jan. 3, 2021, report obtained by Politico that Gohmert said on “pro-Trump news network Newsmax” two days earlier that “letting the will of the voters stand would ‘mean the end of our republic, the end of the experiment in self-government.’”

He then “seemed to encourage violence as a means to this end,” the intelligence report noted, according to Politico.

“Bottom line is, the court is saying, ‘We’re not going to touch this,’” said Gohmert, referring to his failed suit to challenge the 2020 presidential election results, which Trump claimed were rigged. “You have no remedy ― basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you gotta go to the streets and be as violent” as antifa, the catch-all name given to anti-fascist counterprotesters, and the Black Lives Matter movement.

1. Huh???????

“letting the will of the voters stand would ‘mean the end of our republic, the end of the experiment in self-government.’”

What am I missing here? Isn't the very basis of our 'experiment' based on "the will of the voters?"

Louie continues to focus his efforts at being THE CRAZIEST LOON OF THE BUNCH!

2. Trump on Jan 6 told the crowd something like this.

If you don't defend our country today, you won't have a country anymore (sorry, too lazy to look up the exact quote)
