Louie Gohmert Suggests Terry McAuliffe Should Be Investigated for Charlottesville Violence

by Joe DePaolo | 9:56 am, August 21st, 2017

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is pointing fingers over Charlottesville. Who is he blaming? Dem. Governor Terry McAuliffe and Charlottesville mayor Michael Signer.

In a Sunday appearance on Fox & Friends, Gohmert called for a Department of Justice investigation on McAuliffe and Signer because…um…who knows, exactly?

“The way forward’s not gonna be easy,” Gohmert said. “And I think the Justice Department needs a full investigation of the governor, of the mayor.” In addition to charging the two Virginia pols with inciting Charlottesville for no apparent reason, the Texas Congressman went on to throw out a completely unsubstantiated claim that McAuliffe and Signer were complicit in violence at President Donald Trump events.

“We have got to have this investigated,” Gohmert said. “They were the violence (sic) at Trump events, and they may have been behind this violence getting started. They facilitated it, anyway.”

The violence at Trump rallies comes straight from bully Trump's mouth.

between him and ducky pajama boy Blake Farenthold they almost make lying Flores, creepy Carneval Cruz and John Cornhole seem sane.
