While these statements from Rep Van Drew were met with Democratic derision, one other Representative from Texas attempted to make a bold point and guide the Democratic members to calm their push to impeach President Donald J. Trump just days before he is scheduled to leave the office.

Amid pleas and desperate calls from Democrat counterparts for President Trump’s immediate removal due to “inciting riots and violence against us, in this very room,” Republican Representative Louie Gohmert,  said very plainly, “Here’s a quote. ‘I just don’t even know why there aren’t more uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be.”

Rep. Gohmert very clearly indicated that he was using a quote, one, which in fact, was taken directly from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s previous, almost prophetic statements encouraging uprisings.

During the remainder of his time, he quoted Pelosi again from August of 2020, “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.”
