Republican congressman Louie Gohmert has distanced himself from a QAnon conference he attended—claiming he wasn't aware of its connection to the conspiracy theory and that he does not support a military coup in this country as suggested at the event by Michael Flynn.
Gohmert, who represents Texas's 1st congressional district, spoke at the three-day "For God & Country Patriot Roundup" in Dallas, Texas, over the Memorial Day weekend.
While on stage at the $500-a-head event which also featured a host of names connected to the movement listed as a domestic terrorist threat by the FBI, Gohmert downplayed the January 6 attack on the Capitol in Washington D.C.
