GOP lawmaker invokes possibility of 'civil war' after House votes on Trump impeachment procedures
The Hill ^ | 10/31/2019 | Aris Folley

Posted on 10/31/2019 3:49:32 PM PDT by Crazieman

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said on Thursday that House Democrats’ ongoing inquiry into the president's dealings in the Ukraine is “about to push this country to a civil war if they were to get their wishes.”

Gohmert, speaking after the House voted along party lines to approve a measure establishing procedures for the impeachment process, added, “And if there’s one thing I don’t want to see in my lifetime, I don’t want to ever have participation in, it’s a civil war. Some historian, I don’t remember who, said, guns are only involved in the last phase of a civil war."

During his address on the House floor Thursday afternoon, Gohmert said that while some say the vote “was very important,” he believes it “didn’t do so much.”

The Texas Republican further contended that he is still of the opinion that the House will “not end up having a vote in this chamber on whether or not to actually impeach President Trump because if that happens, it goes to the Senate,” where he predicted it would get a “slam dunk down” on the basis of “massive failure of due process, as well as no evidence, no direct evidence of any wrongdoing.”

Kinda. But that may be all that is left if they end our ability to vote. They end it with 20 million Mexicans here and voting. They end it with overthrowing the election.

If you can’t vote your way out, you have to shoot your way out.

No one in their right mind wants a ‘shooting war’.....BUT....E V E R Y T H I N G that has made America ‘The Land of the FREE and home of the BRAVE’

...HAS COME at the cost of blood. The blood of GREAT men and women...who answered the call when it came.

Did THEY want a ‘shooting war’.....NO!!!!!

Yet THEY fought and put their lives on the line....MANY giving ALL.....because THAT is what the dire situation called for.

We are but a hairs breath from such a ‘situation’...

Screw the armed guards and walk in anyway.

No rent-a-cop is going to shoot a congressman.

Let's hear Schiffless tell the world they have "shoot to kill" orders.......

“Anybody who wants things to turn to a shooting war are nuts.”

This is just nothing but bluster - Gohmert - like fellow swamp critters - is much too comfy in swamp-money to actually do anything. This is just red meat.

They didn’t vote to impeach Trump because they want to drag this political witch hunt out forever.
