As The Washington Post reports, Gohmert pushed the debunked claim that leftist activists played a role in the Jan. 6 attack while speaking at an event titled “For God & Country Patriot Roundup” on Saturday.
The Texas congressman later posted a photo posing with a QAnon promoter who claims to have been at the Jan. 6 attack, the Post reports.
At the same conference, former national security adviser Michael Flynn was seen in a video suggesting a Myanmar-like coup “should happen” in the U.S.
When asked by an audience member why a coup like the one that happened in Myanmar couldn’t happen in the U.S., Flynn responded, “No reason. I mean, it should happen here.”
The idea that Trump will use the military to overthrow the government and reclaim power is an extremely popular idea among QAnon supporters. Many believed that Trump would use the military to prevent Biden from assuming power before or on Inauguration Day.
