Louie Gohmert: “I thank my good friend, Judge Al Green. He is a brother, and I appreciate him very much. We have differences of opinion…”

“I thank my good friend, Judge Al Green. He is a brother, and I appreciate him very much. We have differences of opinion, but I know we are going to end up the same place together. Madam Speaker, there is so much that has been going on that has been disrupting the country, and I am not sure what all my good friend, a former judge in Houston, was saying. I didn't get to hear that. But I believe he was addressing some of the unrest. He and I both want to see freedom. We want to see equality. We want to see people treated fairly and equally. Those are things we share, and I know that is what is on his heart. But I am highly concerned about the legitimate peaceful protests that were taking place as a result of the cruel death, the killing of George Floyd. And his family, and the way they approached it, was inspirational. There deserve to be protests over that horrendous death. The Floyd family pointed out they did not want the legacy of George Floyd to be violence and suffering and death and looting. That was not, and is not, what they want for the memory and legacy of George Floyd. But the movement has been hijacked. The violence they don't want, just the justice they want. It has been hijacked.…”
