Louie Gohmert: “What happened to George Floyd is atrocious, it is criminal, and the policeman will be held accountable; he has got to…”

“What happened to George Floyd is atrocious, it is criminal, and the policeman will be held accountable; he has got to be. But that has nothing to do with eliminating immunity for countless policemen across the country. This bill does not properly address or prevent what happened in poor George Floyd's case. Why would we have a bill that eliminates immunity for anybody charging the Capitol, breaking in illegally? They would be able to sue the police in the future, tie them up in court. Why would we do that? Because if we do this--follow the money--then the unions will be selling a lot of liability insurance; it will be the biggest fundraiser they have ever had. Let's get together and come together on a bill that will not just raise money, not just hire more lawyers, but will solve the problem of the death, as criminal as it was, of George Floyd.”
