America shocked Louie Gohmert outed suspected whistleblower during hearing
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) named the latest person that right-wing media believes is the White House whistleblower during Wednesday’s impeachment proceedings in the House Judiciary Committee.
Louie Gohmert just read the purported name of the whistleblower.

People were shocked by Gohmert’s speech. People suggested the Texas Republican should be referred to the House Ethics Committee for investigation and/or be censured and/or expelled from the House of Representatives.
Here’s some of what people were saying:
Cut his mic, escort him the hearing, strip him of all committees….then make him sit a Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan’s lunch table!

Dude should be expelled

He should be censured.

Someone thinks they are above the law, sent him to ethics

Take him out now strip him clean and tell him he’s no longer a part of this committee. Come on Jerry do it.

If smoking bath salts became a person it would be Louie Gohmert

Gohmert should be held accountable for this.

Louie Gohmert is the dumbest member of the house. Thank you for coming to my obvious things talk.

Louie Gohmert makes Collins and Jordan seem articulate.
— Dan Baer (@danbbaer) December 12, 2019
Disgusting. I’m surprised he can remember his own name let alone the whistleblowers
— Lynn Eddy (@LynnEddy5) December 12, 2019
Huh. Louie Gohmert's naming of the alleged whistleblower was met with no response from the Democrats.
In open & closed hearings, Schiff often interjected/noted when Rs even got close to the whistleblower's identity to try and shut it down

Had been hearing murmurs Gohmert was gonna do this for a while.. looks like he finally pulled the trigger during the Judiciary Committee’s last impeachment hearing https://t.co/8N1wvUj8GO

Louie Gohmert is a living, breathing cringe compilation.

If Rep. Louie Gohmert wasn't here yelling right now he'd be starring in a Plano, Texas theater production of Our Town and he'd be sensational.

IG said this was illegal earlier today

MSNBC’s ‘demotion’ of ‘feckless’ Chuck Todd celebrated: ‘Hurray! More Nicolle, less Chuck’
MSNBC host Chuck Todd was moved to an earlier timeslot where his show, "Meet the Press Daily," will likely earn lower ratings. Meanwhile, Nicolle Wallace seems to have been promoted to a two-hour timeslot leading into primetime.
Wallace, who has extensive experience in Washington, previously served in George W. Bush's White House until abandoning the GOP as the era of Trump came to power.
Todd has made several missteps where he's been unwilling to press GOP leaders who lie openly and obviously on camera.

George Conway blasts ‘blundering cheat’ Trump in new op-ed: ‘His name should live in infamy’
Prominent conservative attorney George T. Conway III has written yet another Washington Post op-ed blasting President Donald Trump.
"If there’s one thing we know about President Trump, it’s that he lies and he cheats. Endlessly," Conway wrote. "And shamelessly. But still, mostly, incompetently."
"So it should have come as no surprise that Trump finally went where no U.S. president had ever gone before. In a tweet last week, he actually suggested that the country 'Delay the Election.' That trial balloon was a brazen effort to see if he can defraud his way into four more years in the White House," he explained. "And why not try? After all, Trump has managed to swindle his way through life, on matters large and small, essential and trivial."
