Looking to turn the tables on the cancel culture, GOP Congressman Louis Gohmert wants to cancel the Democratic party.
The Texas Republican responded to the grandstanding by Dems to remove Confederate statues from Congress – the majority of them were Democrats – by introducing his own resolution to ban organizations that supported the confederacy.

For those who don’t know their history, that would include the Democratic party which not only sided with the losers of the Civil War who they now condemn but have been on the wrong side of slavery, the systemic oppression of black people, Jim Crow laws, and segregation.
In a follow-up to a blistering op-ed that he penned for the conservative website Breitbart News, Rep. Gohmert stole the show by calling our the Dems for their history of racism in a bravado performance delivered from the House floor on Thursday.
According to a statement released by Gohmert:
Gohmert Introduces Privileged Resolution Calling on Congress to Ban any Political Party or Organization that has Held a Public Position Supportive of Slavery
Washington, July 23, 2020
Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) introduced a Privileged Resolution calling upon Congress to ban any political organization or party that has ever held a public position supportive of slavery or the Confederate States of America.
It also calls for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to remove from the House wing of the U.S. Capitol or any House office building any item that names, symbolizes or mentions any political organization or party that supported slavery or the Confederacy.
Rep. Louie Gohmert released the following statement:
“As outlined in the resolution, a great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred. Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan. As the country watches violent leftists burn our cities, tear down our statues and call upon every school, military base and city street to be renamed, it is important to note that past atrocities these radicals claim to be so violently offensive were largely committed by members in good standing of the Democratic Party. Whether it be supporting the most vile forms of racism or actively working against Civil Rights legislation, Democrats in this country perpetuated these abhorrent forms of discrimination and violence practically since their party’s inception. To avoid triggering innocent bystanders by the racist past of the Democratic Party, I would suggest they change their name. That is the standard to which they are holding everyone else, so the name change needs to occur.”
Co-sponsors were Reps. Andy Biggs, Jody Hice, Randy Weber, Andy Harris.

There is nothing quite as delightful as seeing the hypocritical racist Democrats get served up with a nice dose of their own medicine which Rep. Gohmert did.
In the words of radical leftist Saul Alinsky – “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
