Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) fired back at Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) over McCain’s condemnation of the allegations that Gohmert, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and others have made against a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

There were five letters, and there were many things that are stated that are facts in each letter,” said Gohmert. “And I wish some of these numb nuts would go out there and read the letter before they make these horrible allegations, about the horrible accusations we’re making.
