Louie Gohmert, low IQ seditionist

[marmar]

Newly revealed text messages from former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows' phone show that former Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, was a true believer in the false conspiracy theory that Antifa was really behind the January 6th Capitol riots.

As reported by Talking Points Memo, Gohmert sent Meadows a text message on January 8th, two days after the assault on the Capitol, pushing the Trump chief of staff to get the Department of Justice involved in an investigation to uncover the purported truth about the riots.

"Constitutional loyal DOJ personnel have 11 days to prove the truth: Antifa led the breach of the Capitol," Gohmert wrote to Meadows. "If the evidence is not shown to the public in 11 days, then it will be subverted & the false narrative will likely be the Trump legacy that DT & his loyal supporters under his urging attacked the Capitol. It was a brilliant leftist op, but it's got to be exposed by DOJ quick." ............(more)

1. Here's the logic of the day, which escapes Gohmer.

If it was Antifa, they are all being prosecuted, which should make you happy. If it was Antifa, why is tfg saying he would pardon all of them if he manages to weasel his way back into the White House? He knew they were his people, he knew they were armed, and he encouraged them to do exactly what they did. They filmed themselves doing it, thinking they would all be heroes.

9. Yes, and why didn't Glorious Leader act immediately and order the National Guard

up to the Capitol to protect Congress from evil Antifa?

2. Sad

Sad there are people like him that fail to see the truth. He definitely is one of the dumbest congressmen. What is even sadder is if he ran for reelection he would have won by a lot. A lot of misguided voters in Texas.

5. "A lot of misguided voters in Texas." A nice way of putting it. 😁

3. OK then why did Trump stage that rally exactly at the time electoral count was being taken?

And why did they call it stop the steal?

4. Leaving Congress was the only inadvertently intelligent thing Gohmert ever did. (nt)

6. Did he lose re-election?

7. In November 2021, he announced his candidacy in the 2022 Texas Attorney General election. He failed

to advance to the Republican primary runoff, getting 17% of the vote.
