Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) accused FBI agent Peter Strzok of being liar in a verbal attack during a Thursday hearing, which escalated when Gohmert compared Strzok’s “smirk” in the hearing to “how many times did you look so innocent into your wife’s eye and lie to her.”
Strzok was testifying in front of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, where Republicans peppered him with questions about anti-Donald Trump texts he sent to another FBI official, with whom he was having an affair.
Gohmert’s tirade prompted shouting from Democrats who accused the lawmaker of “intolerable harassment of a witness. “
“You need your medication!” one lawmaker shouted.

That’s awesome! You know they got nuthin’ when they start with the personal snark.
Sad part is they’re not even very good at it.
Gohmert Pyle needs to smoke a little less meth and a little more weed I think.
I hope he asks Trump how often he has lied to his wives.
Louie Louie, oh, no no, now you gotta go.
I understand Democrats will extend this line of questioning by calling Stormy Daniels as the next witness.
Goober once again proves what an absolutely ignorant simpleton he is.
