To the detriment of these so-called journalists and fact-checkers, no time was taken to locate the source of the quotes. Had proper steps been taken, rather than heated emotional outbursts and finger-pointing, these individuals would have realized the quotes were directly from the mouth of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Their brash vitriol and need to condemn anything and everything from the right only further proved the point Gohmert was making.

“Louie Gohmert calls for more violent uprisings claims Nancy Pelosi is destroying the American experiment and quotes the History Channel in about two minutes,” Sarah Reese Jones, a managing editor and columnist at PoliticusUSA, said in a tweet.

“‘I don’t know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be,’ Louie Gohmert says, perhaps hopefully,” another reporter said.

“Holy shit. Is Gohmer encouraging MORE “uprisings”??!? Did I hear that right??????????” CNN's Asha Rangappa tweeted.

Rep Louie Gohmert condemned the Democrats' hypocrisy regarding violent speech, causing unrest among the people, and their obsessive attempts to remove President Trump from office, days before the inauguration of the incoming administration.

"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. This is so dangerous," he said.

Both men echoed the concerns and warnings delivered by Vice President Mike Pence in his letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday. He declined to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office prematurely, stating that he would not overstep his Constitutional power and suggested caution regarding further actions to hold a second impeachment.
