House Majority Leader Hoyer says he doesn't accept the 'premise' that Antifa is violent

Kudos to Hoyer for seeing a beautiful idea for what it is



House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer on Tuesday slammed Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert's recent statement critical of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, also saying he doesn't "accept" the premise those groups are violent.

Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, said Gohmert "seemed to be encouraging people to come to Washington and take up violence, if that were called for, in order to express their belief that this was not an honest, fair election".

Referencing a judge's decision to deny Vice President Mike Pence the ability to overturn election results, Gohmert said, "If bottom line is, the court is saying, 'We're not going to touch this. You have no remedy'. Basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you've got to go the streets and be as violent as Antifa and BLM".
