Louie Gohmert: “Here is a quote: ``I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be.''…”

“Here is a quote: ``I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be.'' Or, ``Sadly, the domestic enemies of our voting system and honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their allies in Congress of the United States.'' We were called enemies of the state. Those are all quotes from our Speaker. Now, on our side, we didn't take those to be impeachable because we didn't believe she surely meant that. By the Democrats taking this action, you are telling me, no, when we say those words, we actually mean to incite violence. That is what this action is saying. Look, I just looked on the History Channel. It says these words: ``If the Judiciary Committee,'' talking about impeachment, ``finds sufficient grounds, its members write and pass Articles of Impeachment, which then go to the full House for a vote.'' Half of all of the impeachments ever conducted, ever voted for, occurred under this Speaker. You are setting a precedent that says very clearly--because this impeachment isn't going to work, but it is setting the precedent. Unlike a year ago, when we said, look, it shouldn't go through the Intelligence Committee, it should go through the Judiciary Committee, forget that. Now the message is: If you have a whim and you want to just go after a President, just go straight to the floor--no investigation, no Judiciary Committee. Go straight to the floor. Use it as a political weapon as you wish.…”
