Gohmert Goes Off on Nadler After He Accuses Republicans of Promoting Russian Propaganda
This isn’t the first time Gohmert has gone viral in his defense of the President.
The debate over President Trump’s coming impeachment simmered for hours on the House floor Wednesday, showing no signs of swaying a single public servant in either direction.
This stagnation was expected, as the carte blanche partisanship of the impeachment fight has been tempered and galvanized time and again throughout the process. This led to some predictable fireworks in the lower chamber of Congress today, with Republican Louie Gohmert taking particular umbrage with Democratic Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler’s characterization of the GOP’s stance.
During his remarks, Gohmert called the impeachment process an attempt by Democrats to thwart the Justice Department’s investigation “into the corruption of Ukraine interference into U.S. election in 2016.”

The Texas Republican then slammed the Democrats for jumping from allegation to allegation to justify removing the president.
The moment was undeniably tense.
