On Monday, Gohmert joined our news partner KETK, to share his thoughts on the actions taken during that impeachment. During the debate, Gohmert firmly defended President Trump from impeachment and railed against Democrats for investigating President Trump, saying they were trying to make anything stick.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ktbb.com\/post\/wp-content\/media\/2019\/12\/Louie-Gohmert-After-Articles-of-Impeachment-Passed-House-12-13-19-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-839385\" \/>He then ranted that it was actually the Democrats who were too friendly with Russia and Ukraine. Gohmert also spoke out against President Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s foreign policy towards them. As Gohmert was walking off the floor, Nadler (D-NY) fought back against the speech, saying that he couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe a sitting congressman would repeat Russian propaganda. Responding to his actions, Gohmert stated, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Basically slandered me saying I was spreading Russian Propoganda and every detail I said has been documented and is true so that was a ridiculous and false statement he made.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Gohmert goes on to say that under the Rules of the House if someone says a slanderous statement then that individual is recognized that those words be taken down. He mentions that Speaker Nancy Pelosi would not recognize him while he was challenging the issue. Now that the House has formally impeached President Trump, the Senate will continue with a trial that begins in 2020. However, the House Judiciary Committee claims there is a need for Don McGahn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s testimony to further the impeachment process before the Senate proceeds. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Obviously they know they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t prove their case and therefore it will never go over well in the Senate,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Gohmert. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153So they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re wanting to continue this sham effort to impeach the President.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d While the decision to impeach is divided among Americans, the case is only partially over. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I would love to see the Senate bring in critical witnesses, fact witnesses and get them up there cause the House didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t allow it and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m afraid there will be people screaming that \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcOh they covered up for the President\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 when the truth is if we get the witnesses out there them people will see what a scam this whole thing was,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Gohmert. When the Senate continues with the trial is still undecided. The House must send the documents and the Senate must accept them before the Impeachment process continues. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; Recently during a marathon debate on whether to impeach President Trump, Congressman Louie Gohmert got into a heated exchange with House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler.
