Gohmert rejects claims he called for violence during Newsmax interview

Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert rejected accusations Saturday night that he called for violence during a Friday interview on Newsmax when he spoke about his lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence intended to reverse the presidential election being dismissed by the court.

A federal judge ruled on Friday that Gohmert, along with several Arizona Republicans who would have been electors for President Trump, did not “have standing” in the lawsuit filed against Pence. Pence, through Justice Department lawyers argued in a filing with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, that Gohmert and the Arizona Republicans should have sued Congress, not the vice president.
