Rep. Louie gohmert (R-Texas) is suggesting the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 involved more than just “right-wing extremists.”
During an event titled “For God & Country Patriot Roundup” on Saturday, Gohmert said that “it wasn’t just right-wing extremists” who stormed the Capitol.
He also argued the United States has faced worse things, “Some of us think Pearl Harbor was the worst attack on democracy, some of us think 9/11 was the worst attack. … Some of us think that those things were worse attacks on democracy.”

Last month, Gohmert made similar statements about the attack, as IJR previously reported.
“I just want the president to understand there have been things worse than people without any firearms coming into a building,” Gohmert said on the House floor.
He added, “When Pearl Harbor occurred… that was more of an attack on democracy than the protests of January 6. When 9/11 occurred, and I know it’s been so long ago and a lot of people that have forgotten apparently about 9/11, 3,000 people killed, the Pentagon was hit, the two World Trade Centers were hit, thousands died.”
