“The bottom line is, the court says, ‘We’re not going to touch this, you don’t have a cure,'” Gohmert told Newsmax.

“In essence, the statement would be ‘you have to take to the streets and be as violent as antifa, BLM’”, he added.

Gohmert was referring to protests that sometimes turned violent during the summer when anti-fascist protesters and Black Lives Matter protesters took to the streets following the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd during meetings with law enforcement personnel.
