Gohmert: Democrats' 'strategy' is to 'keep America in turmoil' to make it easier to dump Trump

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday that he believes Democrats’ strategy is to “keep America in turmoil” so it would be easier to get rid of President Trump.

Host Griff Jenkins had asked Gohmert if he believed “the Democrats... are trying to sort of hold out on significant legislation beyond the November election?”

“Absolutely,” Gohmert said in response. “That is exactly what they’re trying to do.”

He continued, “Their strategy is, if we can keep America in turmoil, the riots, the economic problems that COVID has caused, it’s better for getting rid of Donald Trump.”

Gohmert made the comments following another night of rioting and lawlessness in more than half a dozen U.S. cities Saturday – with the mayhem including damage to federal buildings and local police precincts, and a deadly shooting in Austin, Texas.
