Gohmert Tries Rewriting History In Competing Bill To Award Gold Medals To Capitol Police | Talking Points Memo

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) offered an alternate reality on Wednesday when he circulated a bill to award congressional gold medals to Capitol Police officers whose lives were endangered during the deadly insurrection earlier this year that former President Trump incited.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1365410

Gohmert’s bill comes after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) previously introduced a bill to award law enforcement with congressional gold members for their heroism during the insurrection.

Oh please, oh please, oh PLEASE, let this NOT be a typo! I want to see the awards ceremony where gold members are presented!

I say let the Republicans vote against the bill in the House and then use it to end the filibuster in the senate.

Only a story about something Louie Gohmert said would have ads this stupid.

Stupid ads flock to Gohmert’s words like flies on stink.

weighing voting against the resolution that Democrats put forward honoring Capitol Police, due to the bill referring to the Capitol as “the temple of our American Democracy” and explicitly calling out the “mob of insurrectionists.”

By all means, Freedumb Cocks®us, vote against the bill. It’s always a good time to show your true colors.

Hey, Gohmert has a rep (as the dumbest member of Congress) he has to maintain.

In order to successfully grandstand, one needs a modicum of intelligence. By that standard, Gohmert failed spectacularly.

Just the usual fear mongering and dismal foreboding of their imminent demise. SSDD.
