Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Thursday said that the Dallas nurses who contracted Ebola while caring for a patient with the virus are victims of a Democratic “war on women.”

Gohmert joined Glenn Beck on his radio show where he said that he does not have Ebola when Beck asked how he was.

“As far as I know, I’m okay. But do any of us really know for sure?” Gohmert asked.

He then bashed CDC Director Dr. Tom FriedEn for blaming the nurses for violating protocol.

“It’s a shame that the CDC head, Frieden, is apparently the new commander of the Democrats’ war on women nurses,” Gohmert told Beck. “Because, goodnight, they set them up, and then they throw them under the bus.”

Gohmert then called FriedEn an “idiot” for stating that the first nurse violated protocol.

“At least in football, they have to tell you what you violated,” he added, claiming that the hospital had no protocol.

    Oh, we’re sure, Louie: neither you nor Glenn Beck are in any simple-minded moronic way “okay”.

  2. Beck interviews Goobert. Should be Douche Bag interviews Douche Nozzle

    At the risk of impugning his asparagus… Is he even capable of NOT saying something ignorant?

  4. Did Glenn Beck give that girl who was raped in 1990 Ebola, and that is why she died?

    Why won’t he address this issue?

  5. Ok that was just desperate.
