'It wasn't just right-wing extremists': GOP's Louie Gohmert tries to shift blame for US Capitol insurrection

1
From the declared dumbest House Representative .
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) over the weekend appeared before a crowd of hundreds of QAnon believers where he and a number of other keynote speakers continued to spew falsehoods and misgivings about the pandemic, presidential election and most recently the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.

During the four-day event in Dallas, Texas, Gohmert spoke at the "For God & Country Patriot Roundup" where he weighed in on the U.S. Capitol breach. According to The Washington Post, Gohmert also made a number of suggestions about the deadly insurrection.

He suggested that it "wasn't just right-wing extremists" who rioted at the Capitol, although federal officials and investigated refuted that claim on multiple locations. The publication reports that Gohmert also suggested: "that the insurrection shouldn't be a serious concern because the United States has weathered worse, including foreign attacks."

At one point, Gohmert also compared the insurrection to other incidents such as Pearl Harbor and 9/11. "Some of us think Pearl Harbor was the worst attack on democracy, some of us think 9/11 was the worst attack," he said. "Some of us think that those things were worse attacks on democracy."

Gohmert was one of many fierce Trump supporters who delivered speeches at the multi-day event. Speaking to Dallas Morning News, conference attendees adamantly claimed that the conference was not about QAnon.

"The focus isn't Q. The focus is being a patriot," said Alaskan podcaster Steven Lundgren.

The Patriot Voice, the group responsible for organizing the event, has also made multiple efforts to distance itself from the controversial movement, but The WaPo reports "the event's logo included the phrase 'WWG1WGA,' a common QAnon slogan."

"For three days, you will have the opportunity to hear from some of your favorite Patriots and Digital Soldiers in both keynote speeches and panel forums," the website says. "You will also have the opportunity to meet and interact with these people, as well as meet fellow Patriots from around the country and world."

He just has to show that he doesn't have the I in IQ.

Good luck with that narrative... rational America knows exactly what went down on Jan 6.

And if there were people other than right wingers, that should be easy to prove; just show us the people who are facing charges who are not right wing Trump supporters...simple.

Unfortunately there are a bunch of Rightwing people that will believe what ever the Repugs bleat out their ass as the truth. Looney Louie has been doing this for years and the voters in his district believe every falsehood and keep re-electing him.

Literally correct while constructively useless. I followed a Twitter feed from an Antifa-affiliated observer during the Capitol breach - he followed them in to document what was going on and broadcast it in real time. Fucking heroic, if you ask me. No idea how that worked out, but I'd hope he wandered over to the Hoover building to debrief afterwards.

The FBI has found no evidence so far that far-left groups such as Antifa participated in the violent mob of President Donald Trump supporters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 despite persistent conspiracy theories, the bureau's director said Tuesday, adding that racially motivated violent extremists – white supremacists – and members of militant groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers represent the preponderance of people arrested.

"We're equal opportunity in looking for violent extremism of any ideology," FBI Director Christopher Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday morning about the bureau's investigations since the deadly violence at the U.S. Capitol. "We have not seen, to date, any evidence of anarchist violent extremist or people who subscribe to Antifa in connection with Jan. 6."

Trump is now even peddling Powell's disinformation that Biden will be dismissed and he'll be back in office in August 2021. Trump sheeple will believe almost anything.
