Louie Gohmert On Impeachment: 'Coup, Civil War And Guns'

Not exclusively appalling lies. Sometimes utter gibberish.

As quoted by Frances Langum.

“Never in the history of this country have we had such gross unfairness that one party would put armed guards with guns to prevent the duly authorized people from being able to hear the witnesses and see them for themselves,” the congressman griped.

Gohmert also complained about a whistleblower who brought alleged corruption to light.

“That’s not the kind of evidence that a coup should be based on,” Gohmert ranted. 

“If we’re going to have what they’re trying to legalize as a coup, we ought to have a right to see each of those witnesses.”

As was pointed out on MSNBC, when the Republicans of the senate vote to acquit because Trump's crimes and assaults on the constitution don't rise to the level of impeachable offenses they will give permission to every future president to behave like this dreadful, contemptible authoritarian thug who stops short of being an actual fascist only through not knowing himself, what he really believes, and what he really wants.

He is genuinely that stupid.

On the other hand, if they acquit on the excuse that we are close to an election, anyway, and they are putting the question in the hands of the people, they are deliberately accepting in advance that the reelection of Trump would have the same effect in licensing the crimes of the man himself and the like crimes of every future president.

The party that with such egregious mendacity and revolting hypocrisy pretends to love and revere the constitution and the republic it defined.

The party that strikes hammer blows at the constitution with every iteration of the dreadful bullshit they spread in defense of the enemy of the people, of democracy, and of the Republic in the White House.

The interwar European ruling classes in Spain, Italy, and Germany were so frightened of communism that they sponsored, in order of increasing horror, a Catholic traditionalist dictatorship, a Fascist dictatorship, and the Nazis.

Today, in America and in Europe, spooked by a leftward drift toward greater social democracy, they sponsor nationalist and racist thugs whose demagoguery wins power they use to further enrich the rich and further empower the powerful.
