Louie Gohmert Distances Himself From QAnon Event Where Michael Flynn Called for Coup

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican congressman Louie Gohmert has distanced himself from a QAnon conference he attended—claiming he wasn't aware of its connection to the conspiracy theory and that he does not support a military coup in this country as suggested at the event by Michael Flynn.

Gohmert, who represents Texas's 1st congressional district, spoke at the three-day "For God & Country Patriot Roundup" in Dallas, Texas, over the Memorial Day weekend.

While on stage at the $500-a-head event which also featured a host of names connected to the movement listed as a domestic terrorist threat by the FBI, Gohmert downplayed the January 6 attack on the Capitol in Washington D.C.

The Washington Post reported that Gohmert claimed that "it wasn't just right-wing extremists" who attacked the Capitol despite there being no evidence that left-wing protesters such as antifa also carried out the attack.

10. Wow!

But just when the man redeems himself on the coup suggestion, he sinks back to conspiracy theory: leftists and Antifa participating in the January 6th assault.

The never-ending whine!

14. He hasn't even waited a day

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) appeared to downplay the deadly Capitol attack on Jan. 6 during a conference this past weekend that was attended by many QAnon conspiracy supporters, saying "it wasn't just right-wing extremists."

As The Washington Post reports, Gohmert pushed the debunked claim that leftist activists played a role in the Jan. 6 attack while speaking at an event titled "For God & Country Patriot Roundup" on Saturday.

"Some of us think Pearl Harbor was the worst attack on democracy, some of us think 9/11 was the worst attack," Gohmert said. "Some of us think that those things were worse attacks on democracy."

The Texas congressman later posted a photo posing with a QAnon promoter who claims to have been at the Jan. 6 attack, the Post reports.
