Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) introduced a bill Thursday on the floor of the House of Representatives that would ban the Democratic Party due to the party's history of having supported slavery and the Confederacy, saying "that is the standard to which they are holding everyone else, so the name change needs to occur."
"Whereas on June 18, 2020, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ordered the removal from the capital portraits of four previous speakers of the House who served in the Confederacy, saying that these portraits 'set back our nation's work to confront and combat bigotry,'" Gohmert said. "The men depicted in the portraits were Democrat Robert M.T. Hunter, Democrat Howell Cobb, Democrat James L. Orr, and Democrat Charles F. Crisp."
"Resolved that the speaker of the House of Representatives shall remove any item that named symbolizes or mentions any political organization or party that has ever held a public position that supported slavery or the Confederacy from any area within the House wing of the Capitol or any House office building and shall donate such item or symbol to the Library of Congress, and two, that any political organization or party that has ever held a public position that supported slavery of the Confederacy shall either change its name or be barred from participation in the House of Representatives," Gohmert concluded. "With that, I would yield back."

In a tweet, Gohmert wrote: "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 KKK. #CancelDemocrats"

"As outlined in the resolution, a great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred," Gohmert said in a statement. "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," Gohmert continued. "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."
Gohmert concluded, "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."

Be careful what you wish for; you just might get it!
if the democrat party represents the confederacy, why are trumpsters so upset about their shit rag flag going away?
That's quite a deflection from owning the notion of cancelling everything connected with slavery!
Because it isn't about Trump, but good try at deflecting that the Democrat's had over a 100 years of Racism in their ranks,
The far right wing continually bring up the fact that Southern democrats were the party of racism in the distant past. They were conservatives. Now the democratic party is the party of liberalism [deleted]
Which is what the left says every day. They make up their own "facts".
The candidate insists they believe in truth over facts.
If that is suddenly going to bother Democrats, maybe we should all think about getting over negative things that happened in the distant past; focus on the positive, and move forward.
But if we want to keep at it, we can ask “If the confederate flag is the flag of traitors, why isn’t the Democratic Party the party of traitors?“
Or again, we can encourage each other to focus on shit that matters.
You'd have to ask Old Man Biden. He's the one who said it.
What is Gohmert saying?
I see......Ya, maybe he should be taught a lesson for speaking out?
OK This has 0 chance of surviving any court challenge.
it's not going to court... LOL it will never even become law.
the only reason was to point out the dems "cancel culture" hypocrisy and remind people the democrats were against freeing the slaves.
it is interesting how the party that backed slavery screams the loudest about things they did in the past while trying to blame everyone else... seems to me that white guilt thing is actually just democrat guilt.
if the dems lived by their own rules? they would change the name of the democrat party.
but yepp, zero chance of that happening also...
I think it's a great idea - say about the end of January both parties can change their names.
Democrats can change their party name to the Winner Party
Republicans can change their party name to the Whiner Party.
Sure - it's a great idea.
Sound better every I hear it Adam....!
That's funny. Did a little fairy come to you in your dream and give you that idea?
Seems a little juvenile.
Thar's a pretty ironic statement considering the topic of the seed.
Oh thanks but I'm not really into Rap. I'm more of an iambic pentameter sort of guy. Still, thanks for the complement.
But for you - I might make an exception. Something about sitting around all broken hearted then having performance difficulties?
Naaahhh - that's already been done in stall two.
Well that made zero sense, but coming from......never mind...
You got that backwards or did you forget all the crying and wailing and gnashing of teeth and the scream tests held by the Democrats in 2016.

It's true that Clinton only won the popular vote by 2.1 points. I think 2020 will be a bit different. Aren't you sweating just a bit with Biden's double digit lead in the polls - even FOX.
But that's ok, come November you can change your name and brag about how you were always a stealth Biden supporter.
How many times do you have to be told that the national popular vote is meaningless. We have never elected a president of the country by popular vote. In the case of the vote in 2016, it was a damn good thing.
As far as Bidens supposed lead, Clinton also had a substantial polling lead right up to election day include Fox poll and it, I mean she, still lost the electoral vote by a wide margin. So no I am not particularly worried.
It actually has more clout now than it use to. With the SC ruling that electors cannot go rogue, states that have election laws that the elector must follow the popular vote hold more weight.
electors must vote their states majority vote
that is the end of the national popular vote campaign
More than likely they will change their party name to " Union of Unity and Fatherland ", or "Единая россия".
AOC should go up to Gohmert on the steps of the Capitol and call him a "fucking idiot".
It’s consistent with the current lunacy that’s trending. I don’t know how you argue against it. So many people are obsessed with erasing everything and anyone who ever did anything we now disapprove of. I don’t see why the Democratic Party should get a pass.
If the Democratic Party should have to change it's name for it's past support of slavery, shouldn't we be changing the name of the United States of America too?
If so, may I suggest "The Disunited States of America" i.e. "D.S.A."?
Louie Gohmert? Really?
Is this the best the TGOP can do?
Reminds me of early April, 1945, Berlin, when Hitler exhorted to his Field Marshals that General Steiner was coming from the North to smash the Russian armies. Well, that never happened. Steiner surrendered his forces to the Americans and British.
Yes. That or the openly racist Steve King. They are the GOP poster children. They and Trump represent the best that the GOP has to offer. Misogynistic, racist confederate loving fascist morons who believe the rest of the world should be sucking their tiny dicks for the "white races" supposed achievements while ignoring that they got where they are on the backs of women and/or slaves.
"The Daily Wire is one of America's fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment."
"and entertainment". Well THAT explains the seed - it's a fucking joke.
Always attack the source rather than discuss the material. You are truly starting to fit in with the left.
Everyone attacks the sources here - if I were to quote from China Daily I'd get plastered here. I just thought the seed was entertaining - the topic is ridiculous, it's satirical - making fun of those who are ridding America of anything or anyone to do with the Confederacy by taking it to an extreme. Wait a sec, did you not understand that?
In fact, I had even suggested a new name for America above.
My choice would be USOR (United States of Russia) thanks to Trump's bromance with Putin.
I think the Democratic party is already well on it's way to becoming the Communist party so why not just change names.
It is not a Democrat that is kissing Putin's/Kim's asses, that would the the head R.
How come you didn't mind Obama kissing Putin's and Hugo Chavez's and the Castro brothers ass. I even remember Obama asking for permission to delay something Putin asked for. Shoot you didn't even mind Obama not doing anything about Putin meddling in our elections even though Obama knew about it as early as 2015
