Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) was outraged.
A Democratic congressman had just accused Republicans in a House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General Loretta Lynch of caring more about Hillary Clinton’s email use than the recent fatal shootings of Dallas police officers.
But Gohmert wasn’t quite upset enough to question Lynch about anything other than the investigation into Clinton’s email server.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) began his questions for Lynch by noting that Republicans spent more time in the hearing asking the attorney general about Clinton’s emails than about shootings across the country, including the one that killed five police officers in Dallas last week. He said that to Republicans, the safety of Americans isn’t important.
“What’s important? Let’s go talk about the emails once again,” Gutierrez said, referring to Republicans.
He criticized Republican members for using the hearing to bring up the impeachment trial of former President Bill Clinton and the Supreme Court’s decision to throw out the conviction of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R).
Gohmert was next in line to question Lynch, and began by offering a rebuttal to Gutierrez. He said it was “an outrage” to accuse Republicans of not caring about the death of five police officers in Dallas.
The Republican congressman then proceeded to pepper Lynch with questions about the probe into Clinton’s email use, and did not ask about any other topic.
How dare you cast aspersions on his asparagus!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE4fCcsw6FsThis guy gives simpletons a bad name. Borderline slow. And I want to call him evil, but I think he might be too stupid to be evil. He just goes with the flow of those around him, and those around him are evil.
The Grift that keeps on Grifting
How’s the asparagus doing?
You are far too kind in your comment calling him super fucking stupid.
