Screwy Louie Gohmert Just May Have Implicated Himself In The Capitol Attack

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) was either lying or needs to be talked to by the FBI after he claimed that Capitol Police told him to expect leftists in MAGA gear on 1/6.

Rep. Gohmert said, “January fifth, that evening I was talking to Capitol Police officers, and I said you know, let’s face it, most of the conservatives they come. They don’t have any intention of being violent, and they said well, we’ve been briefed that there’s a good bit of online activity that there are people who are going to be coming that hate Trump, but they’re going to dress up in red MAGA Trump paraphernalia to try to blame him and create trouble.”


Out of the hundreds of arrests in connection with the Capitol attack, not a single one has been a leftist disguised in Trump gear.

From what I understand, the CP confirmed that none of those discussions ever happened. He just made them up.

He was already a one term loser who just got beat by over 7 million votes an carried an approval of 41 and strong disapproval of 30.
Nobody needed to do a thing to make him look bad.

that the Capitol Police Officer would tell this to just to fuck with him? I could see him just being a running joke around the Capitol. You know, like the kid you sent to the P.E. teacher to get his masturbation papers so he can fill them out.

They don’t want any commission to get to the bottom of the insurrection because any commission would find THEM at the bottom of the insurrection.

Why then did he vote against a 1/6 investigation?
Republicans would have jumped at the chance to blame liberals for the insurrection.

The Forest Service clearly is concerned about climate change and it’s effects of America’s forest lands. Gohmert asked whether the Forest Service could do something to change the lunar orbit. The question actually had merit, but Gohmert appears to have gotten the dynamics mixed up, changes in the Earth do affect lunar orbit, but in order to induce a change like very gradual cooling of the Earth’s core, an almost incalculable energy exchange would be needed (and if that happens over a short timeframe, then I think that I will stowaway on Musk’s Mars colony crew, because I certainly would not want to be on Earth).
