Some Texas Republicans decried Capitol insurrection — but didn t connect the violence to their own rhetoric | Region

When a federal court tossed U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmertâs far-fetched lawsuit asking Vice President Mike Pence to challenge Joe Bidenâs legitimacy as president-elect, the Texas Republican appeared to propose violence in response. âBasically, in effect, the ruling would be that you got to go to the streets and be as violent as Antifa and [Black Lives Matter],â he told Newsmax, a hyperpartisan, pro-Donald Trump media company, last Friday. The comments drew quick criticism that Gohmert was advocating for violence, which he later denied. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat, called for a formal congressional censure. âWe live in a time where words can cause hurt and harm to peopleâs livelihoods and their very lives,â Wasserman Schutlz said at a news conference covered by the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
