As long as he's around, nobody runs any danger of being called the dimmest member of Congress.

3. Gohmert should be a HUGE embarrassment to those who elected him.

Unfortunately, I'm sure he speaks for them, which is what is scary these days. Trump sure brought that ignorance out. In the recent debate, all Republicans candidates swore that basically they'd "bomb first and talk later." "Obama is a wimp and disrespected by the world!" Yeah, right. Sadly Obama is more respected by more of the world than he seems to be more respected in the U.S. We've been there in the Republican way and done that in terms of "Bomb!" or worse yet, "boots on the ground!" None of the verbal hawks have ever served except Lindsay Graham, and he was JAG, not combat. The "chickenhawk" attitude is dying out, but not leaving yet without a big struggle.

It's like the other side of the isle might as well change their name to NAZI. If these fuckers gained the presidency how long would it be before they arranged a false flag operation so they could invade Iran?

They keep electing him.

From his web page:

"Serving his fifth term in the United States House of Representatives, Congressman Louie Gohmert was first sworn in January 4, 2005.
He proudly represents the First District of Texas which encompasses over 12 counties stretching nearly 120 miles down the state's eastern border."
