Rep. Louie Gohmert sees 'revolution' as option in face of 'cheated election'

WASHINGTON — East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert, insisting the election has been stolen from President Donald Trump, has urged like-minded supporters to consider “revolution” like the Egyptian uprising seven years ago and colonial America’s revolt against England.

“They rose up though all over Egypt, and as a result of the people rising up in the greatest numbers in history, ever anywhere, they turned the country around …. If they can do that there, think of what we can do here,” he told thousands of cheering Trump supporters in downtown Washington at Saturday’s “Million MAGA March.”

The tea party Republican was one of a number of speakers at a plaza near the White House, where demonstrators waving flags and Trump banners readily agreed that Trump should not concede.

“This was a cheated election and we can’t let it stand,” said Gohmert, a Tyler Republican and former trial judge who easily won a ninth term this month.

What is wrong with them? You can't just call for armed revolt and accuse people of cheating without any reason. (Well, I guess they can.)

This is actually getting dangerous.

Also: every time I think they're as dumb as can be, they do find a new low, don't they?

"This was a cheated election," he says. Why? Because he says so? That's no reason. Because Trump lost? That's no reason. Geez. You can't just declare an election cheated.

But I think they're hoping, as always, that if they repeat it enough, people will start to believe it.

And I'm kind of afraid that he'll be right as usual. People always start to believe the republican bullshit.

He is now openly committing seditious treason against a legally elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He needs to be charged and arrested and censured by the House.

And I hope that flake who just got elected and is mouthing off all over the twit center, she should not be seated as a member of the House since she disrespects it on a daily basis.
