After January 6, 2021, GOP shows off its 'soft on crime' side (Laughable Louie Gohmert of Texas edition)

 
Headline:  New York Times, 2/4/2022

Washington Post, 1/21/2021
He suggested that “it wasn’t just right-wing extremists” rioting in the Capitol, even though federal officials have consistently debunked claims that leftist activists played a role in the attack. He also suggested that the insurrection shouldn’t be a serious concern because the United States has weathered worse, including foreign attacks. 
“Some of us think Pearl Harbor was the worst attack on democracy, some of us think 9/11 was the worst attack,” he said. “Some of us think that those things were worse attacks on democracy.” 
Gohmert later posed for a photo with a QAnon-promoting podcaster who has claimed that he participated in the Jan. 6 riot, reported Media Matters for America, a liberal media watchdog group. [emphasis added]
