Crackpot Rep. Louie Gohmert On House Sit-In: Democrats Are Taking Away Civil Rights [VIDEO]

As those of us watching the sit-in live stream last night witnessed, at one point crackpot Rep. Louie Gohmert rushed the podium to scream about radical Islam and he nearly came to blows with Rep. Corrine Brown. This morning Gohmert ran whining to Fox News.  The Hill reports:

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) early Thursday blasted the Democrats’ gun control sit-in, accusing participants of exploiting tactics from the civil rights movement to “try to take away people’s civil rights.”

“So they weren’t just standing up for rights, they were taking away rights,” Gohmert said on “Fox and Friends.”

“It was incredible to see real American folk heroes like John Lewis who were brutalized and stood up for civil rights,” he added.

“Folks were there using the instruments that helped gain civil rights to try to take away people’s civil rights.”

During the sit-in, Gohmert was seen getting in a shouting match with Democrats on the House floor.

“Radical Islam killed these people,” he yelled, pointing to posters with photos of gun violence victims.

The full altercation is in the second clip below.
