Congressman Gohmert quotes Pelosi on violent riots and reporters attribute it to him

 Red States:

...

In another one that can be tucked into the “You Can’t Make This Sh*t Up” file, mainstream media “reporters” gave up the game today while giving play by plays of what was being said on the House floor as impeaching Trump was being debated.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) at one point quoted Pelosi’s comments from a June 2018 press conference where she said, “I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country” in response to a question about child separations at the border.

Gohmert was quoting Pelosi in order to float examples of how Democrats had said things that could be construed as “incitement” as well, but in a move that should shock absolutely no one familiar with the highly, oftentimes deliberate way national political reporters operate, several “journalists” tweeted what Gohmert said without noting that it was Pelosi’s remarks he was referencing.

...

Interesting how such observations are totally subjective to these people, isn’t it?

Predictably, “outrage” ensued from the usual corners and Gohmert’s name began trending on Twitter, with liberals calling for Gohmert to be booted from the House over the quote that was actually from Pelosi.

In any event, the irony of media figures “forgetting” it was Pelosi who originally said what she did about “uprisings” wasn’t lost on Twitter conservatives....

...

Gohmert manages to capture the hypocrisy of both the Democrats and their media cohorts. He also manages to demonstrate that the high dudgeon in the impeachment effort was all for show.  Matt Gaetz also exposed the liberal hypocrisy on violence show that Pelosi was not the only one who supported it.
