Following the ruling, Gohmert, a Texas Republican, told Newsmax: 'But if bottom line is, the court is saying, 'We're not going to touch this. You have no remedy' - basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you gotta go to the streets and be as violent as Antifa and BLM.'
'I have not encouraged and unequivocally do not advocate for violence,' he said. 'I have long advocated for following and teach the example of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. of peaceful protest.'
'That does not keep me from recognizing what lies ahead when the institutions created by a self-governing people to peacefully resolve disputes hide from their responsibilities,' he continued.
'Violence is not the answer. The appropriate answer is courts and self-governing bodies resolving disputes as intended,' Gohmert concluded.
Gohmert's suit sought to empower Pence to overturn the results of the presidential election won by Joe Biden when Congress formally counts the Electoral College votes next week.
Pence, as president of the Senate, will oversee the session Wednesday and declare the winner of the White House race.

It's scientific.
Antifa has given us a wonderful blueprint. Umbrellas, face shields, helmets, Baefong radios, fireworks, green lasers, pepper spray. Since we are older, skateboards as clubs won’t work — but we can use canes and crutches (after all, we’re seniors.) Nice, heavy, durable canes (and crutches).
Those tactics have worked rather well for the left. Maybe we should try them too, with conviction and a sense of rightful indignation.
‘Violence is not the answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The founders knew that sometimes violence is the answer.
The Declaration of Independence makes that very clear.
The 2nd Amendment is testament to that.
There is going to be violence. Antifa and BLM will see to it that is true. And, the media will blame it all on the Proud Boys and Trump supporters.
The only difference is, we shouldn’t burn down our own neighborhoods, and grocery stores. Go after the big cities instead.
Agreed.
When the government fails to adhere to the rules it has instituted the last option of the population is to rise up and overthrow their corrupt leadership.
The USA is a Constitutional Republic. Not a parliament or dictatorship.
We are governed by the will of the people; Not by the will of potentates, political dynasties, corporations, NGOS, foreign interests and governments.
It is long past time to reassert our right to be governed by citizens rather than corrupt politicians and uber elitists.
I am ready, willing and able to stand against this apostasy.
You can only kill me once.
Fake headline.
Make up your mind Gohmert. Either direct and violent reaction or your “peaceful protests” solution that don’t work. Just another wishy washy politician trying to play both sides. I know were I stand if they STEAL this election.
I don't like corners, never did.
Target woke companies.
They media won't blame anybody if they are the first ones on the list.
