Is Louie Gohmert Heartless Or Stupid? Yes

During a House Judiciary Hearing yesterday on gun regulation, Louie Gohmert asked whether Democrats thought he didn't have a "heart." Well, of course not, or he wouldn't have said so many heartless, cruel things over the years. But in his defense we also think he's really stupid and gutless too. Cliff provides the breakdown & takedown.

well if you've been following politics for long enough in washington you've probably heard of louis gomer not in the way that we would hope to hear of someone for having a brain harder guts but as somebody who says incredibly effing stupid things pretty much on a loop um and shares conspiracy theories constantly really provides no positive value that i can think of i mean he sucks up oxygen just by being in dc we'd be better off if we hit a tree they're providing it in his place i mean i have to believe at this point if anybody's found a way to to have their own body create an airborne form of chlamydia it may just be louis gomard why do i think this well louis gomer is a guy who once asked the u.s forest service if we could change the moon's orbit and so that we could solve climate change yes this louis gohmert and in house hearings yesterday why we're talking about this particular on gun safety he is often referred to the new town attack as something that was a potentially a hoax as you'd expect with it from a right-wing lunatic idiot from texas he's often been hostile not often i'm sorry every time been completely hostile to any solution to gun violence plaguing this country so yesterday while there was a live hearing taking place on gun safety and discussing legislation representative eric swalwell threw out the idea that that uh maybe normal republicans said why do we have to change what's normal school throughout maybe normal when little kids are getting buried in superman decorated caskets is not a good thing to which gomer replied don't you think we have hearts no i don't and i don't think anybody does who's been watching you uh for a while um uh he the exact i want to share the exact quote i don't think it's very effective for the children to have people on the other side of the aisle come in and accuse republicans of being complicit in murder and that we put our right to kill over others rights to live yes if not very effective for the children i think most effective for the children will not be getting shot and you're not doing anything about that you i'll continue to infer by rhetorical supposed questions who are you here for we must be here for the gunman is an outrage you are you're there for the nra who pays who stuffs your pockets you're there for your radical base who fox and sinclair and rush limbaugh and others radicalized the point of thinking a gun is a masturbatory utensil a gun is is a god fetish um so again he asked don't you think we have hearts and i thought well let's see let's see if we can discern from all the evidence if louis gomer has a heart i'm just going to give you a couple examples in the past he compared president obama to hitler why gomer cleared a portion of a conservative thomas soules column saying hitler deliberately sought to activate people who did not normally pay attention to politics sir obama so obama was like hitler yeah that's what someone with a heart would do he wanted to rename cesar chavez day the the groundbreaking labor organizer farm union organizer and the person who fought for those underpaid and overworked and almost slave-like conditions on farms he wanted to rename cesar chavez day to border control day right because he has a heart discussing george soros he said quote george soros is supposed to be jewish but you wouldn't know it from the damage he's inflicted on israel and the fact he's turned on his fellow jews and helped take property that they owned nobody knows what the f and how he's talking about there but yeah a guy who survived both uh the nazis and then communist stalin stalinism in hungary and came to this country he's accusing of taking property from other jews and turning over other jews to the nazis that's what someone with a heart would do he outed the original whistleblower um that led to trump's first impeachment they were specifically told on on the judiciary committee how did he get kicked off for this uh you know that's because our congress doesn't work he literally shared the name of whistleblower and could have gotten him and his family killed by putting them in danger that's the heart of louisiana he's also oh here's a great one the us capitol police 21 house
