Louie Gohmert proves his idiot bonafides again:

You don't remember Nancy Pelosi breaking out windows and trying to smash through barricades? You don't remember Masie Hirono spreading feces in the Rotunda?

I'm a firm believer in what you permit, you promote.

When you vote for racist, sexist, religious bigot, ant GLBT piece of shit - you approve and promote.

stormed a SCIF in Congress, with your cell phones, and ordered pizza while preening for the cameras. I’m sure you’re volunteering for prosecution for that outrage. Right?

No? Then STFU, asshole.

…is exactly the same as an attempted Coup d’Etat.

Yeah. Got it, Asparagus.

(The VOTE they demanded was whether to bar terror suspects who we’re already ON the “no-fly” list from purchasing guns.)
