WATCH: Fireworks Erupt on House Floor Over Accusations of ‘Russian Propaganda’

An intense moment unfolded on the floor of the House of Representatives between Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Jerry Nadler (D-NY) on Wednesday, as Nadler made a wild accusation against Gohmert, and the Republican angrily demanded his comments be "taken down."

“But let’s be honest, the president turning his back on Ukraine, that happened in 2009 because in 2008 Ukraine invaded Georgia, what happened? Bush put sanctions on Russia to teach him a lesson,” Gohmert continued. “What happened after that? Well, in March of 2009 Hillary Clinton was sent over to Russia with a reset button to say, ‘Bush overreacted, we’re okay that you invaded Georgia.’ It was a greenlight to Russia to invade Ukraine and what [did Obama] do? [Obama] sent blankets and MREs and you eat and be warm why the Russians are killing them. That is what the Obama administration did.”

“This is a travesty and we’re in big trouble because Schumer was right, now the bar is lowered even further, it will be used for political battles and this country’s end is now in sight,” Gohmert concluded. “I hope I don’t live to see it. This is an outrage.”

Nadler responded by bizarrely announcing, I am deeply concerned that any member of the House would spout Russian propaganda on the floor of the House …

Nadler did not cite any evidence to back up his claim that Gohmert was spreading “Russian propaganda,” after the Texas Rep. merely recalled recent history of U.S.-Russian relations over Georgia and Ukraine since 2008.

Gohmert, who had left the podium, stormed back after Nadler made his comments and began shouting at him for several seconds, demanding that Nadler's "outrageous comments about Russian propaganda" be "taken down" (stripped from the House record).

Politicians rant and rave. The Democrats get away with everything, our side is always fighting with our backs in the corner.

I remember the blankets and MREs were shipped to a neighboring country and then trucked into Ukraine. We didn’t want to land military planes in Ukraine because that would be provocative.

Nadler is a absolute punk who needs his ass kicked. He did this to Candace Owens all if you’ll remember, put words in her mouth, twist meaning to make her look like she supported Hitler and when she corrected him he wasn’t even man enough to look at her and instead flipped his hand like he was dismissing a bug. This is all the rich liberals in Manhattans upper west side who voted this effin cockroach into office.

Verbal accusations mistakes like that indicate the first stages of losing control and going into panic.

So why is nadds on the verge of panic?

If there isn’t a massive campaign to shame these freaking liars into eternal damnation then we have indeed, lost our Republic.

The entire Democrat party has doctorate degrees in proinconology, from Alinsky University. All Alinsky in thought, word, and deed.

The end cometh soon. It will be them turning on each other. Peddling lies and deception eventually causes the ranks to direct political weaponry at comrades.

“...because in 2008 Ukraine invaded Georgia, what happened?”

The link went to something about Nadler and a cheeseburger. If you have seen the actual exchange, did Gohmert say Ukraine or Putin?

If Gohmert actually said “in 2008 Ukraine invaded Georgia”, his next line, “Bush put sanctions on HIM to teach HIM a lesson” does not fit. It’s obvious that Gohmert either said or meant to say “Putin”, not Ukraine, invaded Georgia. That’s the verbal equivalent of a typo, not spewing Russian propaganda. Plus, the Russians proudly admit they invaded Georgia (even if their excuse for doing it is bilge).
