Louie Gohmert suspects ‘undocumented Democrats’ are bringing Ebola across the border

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) warned this week that refugees — who he called “undocumented Democrats” — fleeing violence in Central America could be bringing diseases like Ebola into the United States.

“This administration doesn’t have the desire, doesn’t have the will to actually stop it,” Gohmert told radio host Tim Constantine on Wednesday. “Because they see people coming across as undocumented Democrats. And so, they want to keep the surge of people coming in illegally, even though it includes a big spike in Other-Than-Mexicans, OTMs as we call them.”

“It includes a spike in people from countries where terrorism abounds,” he continued. “We have people coming in from countries where Ebola is located.”

“And, gee, since they’re coming across our border, and you know, they don’t get checked, and most of them don’t get really thoroughly checked, they could be coming in with disease that we simply do not need.”

1. Louie Gohmert is an ignorant bigot on every level. nt

[kardonb]

32. Gohmery

just another repug nutter .

[Roy Rolling]

37. Of course

Ebola is infiltrating at the border. Ebola is very tiny and almost impossible to hit with a Rick Perry-endorsed 50-caliber machine gun.

Run, Forest, run!

[TheDebbieDee]

56. Louie Gohmert is a performance artist that has also managed to be elected to the US Congress!

Everytime he says something stupid the right-wingers give more money to his campaign.

[upaloopa]

2. Well they must get those kids to fill out a voter registration

card before the hop the freight train north.

[sinkingfeeling]

3. Can he be declared legally insane?

[Ilsa]

4. You generally can't help it if you are insane.

But the people willing to listen to Gohmert and vote for him have a choice. They choose insanity over reason.

[Skittles]

5. "undocumented Democrats"

OMG these repuke bastards are unhinged

[sarge43]

8. Nuttier than a squirrel's pantry

[Botany]

14. nuttier then a squirrel turd

n/t

[sarge43]

16. Even better. Thank you. nt

[longship]

24. Fruitier than a nutcake.

To quote Capt. Kirk.

[PoutrageFatigue]

6. In the "old days" people that said stupid stuff like this weren't elected officials....

....they certainly didn't get re-elected...Just how twisted does your world-view have to be to CONTINUE to vote for this simpleton?

[Thinkingabout]

7. When the undocumented democrats arrive in San Antonio they can go to the soup kitchen paid for

by the Koch Brothers and they will be fed. Louie on the other hand will still be suffering from Hoof in Mouth disease.

[wordpix]

52. Are you serious -Kochs are feeding the poor? They could pay their fair share of taxes to boot

and stop violating environmental laws while they're at it instead of poisoning the nation with their toxic waste and expecting us poorer Americans to clean up their shit

[Thinkingabout]

57. The story behind this is the Koch Brothers are trying to attract Latino voters, good deal huh.

They need to spend their efforts convincing the GOP to change their hateful platform.

[3catwoman3]

9. Gohmert is an ...

..."OTH" - Other than Human.

[Skier101]

10. "...they could be coming in with disease that we simply do not need.”

I wonder what diseases this idiot thinks we do need?

[unionthug777]

11. darn those "deseased" immigrants !!!!

[Botany]

12. that man went to law school, passed the bar, and he was sitting judge?

tell me this from the onion.

[wordpix]

55. OMG, really?

Stuff like this happens all the time. A friend who was head of a 40-member department at a private school told me a woman who worked under her with a Ph.D and h.s. teacher certification was so Gohmert-like, my friend suggested she teach 1st grade. Not that 1st gr. teachers are stupid but this woman was, and my friend thought maybe she could instruct on that level but no higher. The woman is now teaching 1st gr.

[Sunlei]

13. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) ?? OTM?? oh, so thats what YOU call people? Mr Republican?? OTMs?

How do you like that people you're an OTM to Rep. Louie Gohmert

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. These idiots actually believe their own lies....

Perfect example is the ‘undocumented Democrats’ line.

Someone needs to sit these idiots down and explain slowly that it is NOT true that non-citizens can form a line and be handed a ballot.

This was a LIE invented to tell their idiot followers in suburbia to increase their already hyper-inflated outrage. The idea is to claim a falsehood is true and then to promise to be the hero to fix it if they vote for you.

LOOK!!! The sky is turning green!!! It's the fault of the Democrats!!! Vote for me and I will make sure it becomes blue again! Do it for your children and your grandchildren so they can see the same blue sky you have known all of your life. Do it for America!!!

[drm604]

47. It's a lie invented to gain support for voter ID laws.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

48. A non-issue disguising an agenda to only stop voting for their enemies....

The thing is, there are racists who consider it to be "voter fraud" for black people to vote and applaud Republicans for stopping them.

What gets me is when they claim Democrats are having whole busloads of people brought in from another state to vote in their election,...again,...as if all you have to do is show up and they'll hand you a ballot.

It's a belief taken as FACT on their side so much that a couple of them have been arrested for attempting to vote twice. They are probably in jail thinking "It's not FAIR. The Democrats get to do it all the time but us God fearing patriotic Republicans can't!"

[drm604]

49. I suspect that a lot of the people who fall for these lies don't actually vote themselves,

else they'd know that you can't just show up and vote.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

50. I think a lot of them vote absentee...

Or, they do something incredibly stupid.

I know a right winger who used to sit down and fill in the sample ballot they mail and then mail it back.

Don't know if he still does it,....but I'm not gonna be the one to break the news.

[drm604]

58. Where did he mail it to?

Wow, that is dumb.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

60. I think he just stuffed it in a reguar envelope and used the return address.

[wordpix]

54. yes you do have to register first

but what are facts to these morons?

[tblue37]

17. They must have divine powers if they can actually cross the Atlantic Ocean

on foot like that.

Talk about walking on water!

[TwilightGardener]

18. Manages to link three things he hates in one swoop--Democrats,

immigrants, and fatal disease. Tomorrow it might be Democrats, ISIS, and Dengue fever. It doesn't have to make sense, you just have to stand back and appreciate the sheer awesomeness of someone who just shamelessly makes shit up.

[santamargarita]

19. Only a subhuman piece of shit Republican could dream up such idiocy.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

23. I read "subhuman" as "suburban"....

....still fits.

[doxydad]

20. WHO..

voted for this impossibly stupid bigot? Find those D-bags and never allow them to vote again. That's the only way to stop the stupid!

[Leith]

21. Oh FFS!!

Doesn't Gohmert or any Republican EVER sit back and notice how completely stupid and insane that "person" is? This is proof positive: he is certifiable. Get the nice men in the white coats and get Gohmert a nice jacket with long long arms.

[WinkyDink]

22. Gosh! He omitted "low-information"!

[Liberal Veteran]

25. Can you just imagine if he and Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann had offspring together?

It would be a whole new species called HomoDerpians.

[allan01]

26. hem

[kentauros]

27. As bizarre as this rant is,

next week he'll have something even more bizarre to state or add.

Thus, what we are witnessing is mental-health deterioration in action.

And to answer how anyone else can vote for him, again and again, Gohmert's mental health issue is related.

Technically, one person (though I'm sure it was a team effort) started this mess, and his name was Ronnie Raygun. The two issues that most attributed to our current mess was his defunding of mental health institutions and research, and the beginning of the defunding of public education.

We didn't have people like Gohmert in office before that happened, or if we did, the voting public was better educated and thus, less polarized, and didn't let them get re-elected.

Refunding mental health institutions and research is a no-brainer, so to speak, and as easily done as said. Fixing what we've got for public education is going to take much longer, mostly due to the corporate fingers so deeply rooted in it these days...

[displacedtexan]

28. At least he's being honest about his motive for a change.

He fears those who would not vote for his brand of crazy, even in Texas.

[kentauros]

29. That's a point that is probably on the minds of more republicans, too.

They fear the fact that Latinos of all kinds tend to vote Democratic than republican. And their numbers are growing, mostly by being born here from parents that have many generations in the state.

[Turbineguy]

30. The great thing about being Gohmert

is you'll never have a brain disease.

[Bartlet]

31. How does someone

So amazingly stupid get elected to any office? Even accounting for the dullards in his district, this guy goes full retard and they still vote for him?!? Not sure which is worse, that he's dumber than lumber or that this constituents are even dumber.

[tanyev]

33. This guy's definitely an OTM:

Obviously a Total Moron

[sakabatou]

34. Opens mouth, spews bullshit

[McCamy Taylor]

35. Someone explain how violence in Central America threatens West Africa. Please.

And then explain how the West Africans get over here. Do they swim? Dude, if these people could afford an airplane ticket to cross the Atlantic, do you think they would go to Mexico and then try to sneak across the border? No, they would come to the US as tourists and then jump their visa. So, what good does putting a bunch of armed vigilantes at the border do? Nothing. If the West Africans only have boats, the go north to Spain and Italy which are much closer.

I think you have to be terminally stupid to understand Republic logic.

[freshwest]

36. *VAFFANCULO REPUBBLICANI !!!*

Sick of Gohmert's garbage.

*Profanity courtesy of Tx4obama*

[valerief]

38. Why isn't there a Gohmert series on the Cartoon Network? Maybe an Adult Swim show. nt

[jmowreader]

44. People quit watching TV after they've thrown bricks through them

[LuckyLib]

39. My sympathy to Texans. You have more fruitcakes per square mile than anyplace else

in the country. Even the governor is a certifiable space cadet.

[LynneSin]

40. Of course, Sierra Leone and Guinea are located between Mexico and the United States

Makes perfect sense

[Thor_MN]

41. I see two possibilities (A conservative binary thinking wet dream, I know)

Ebola can incubate for 21 days with no symptoms.

So by the time they get back from vacation, either:

1. Loonie will have documented cases of Ebola coming into the US.

or

2. He can give a welcome back speech on the House floor and admit he has shit for brains.

[SoapBox]

42. ...stupid fuck.

Time for some protests at his jerk's offices.

[MisterP]

43. this is why brothers aren't allowed to marry

[barbtries]

45. he sounds truly stupid.

do people listen to this character?

[defacto7]

46. I've never done this before but I'm going to anyway....

[elias49]

51. Of course. So we can experiment on them like Michele Bachmann said.

Could there be 2 bigger idiots in one country?

[wordpix]

53. Yes, Sarah Palin, Steve and Peter King, the Faux News crew, Pat Robertson...

the list of repuke idiots is huge

[Liberal_from_va34]

59. Everything that comes out of this man's mouth is insane nonsense.

Honestly, I think Louie is probably the most batshit crazy member of the GOP today, next to Palin. He needs to see a shrink ASAP.
