A Shameless Gohmert Tries To Blame Masks For Getting COVID-19

[kpete]

“I can’t help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place that if I might have put some germs, some of the virus, onto the mask and breathed it in,” Gohmert told KETK News in a Skype interview several hours after news of his diagnosis broke. Gohmert said he’s worn a mask “in the last week or two” (he did not wear a mask on Tuesday while interacting with Attorney General Bill Barr, who also was not wearing a mask).

The Texas lawmaker also stated that he didn’t have any symptoms of the virus.

“I’m asymptomatic,” Gohmert said in a video he posted on Twitter.

The revelation is particularly striking given that the express purpose of wearing a mask, which Gohmert has largely refused to do, is to prevent those with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic from unwittingly transmitting the virus to others.

17. screwy gooey louie

dumbass

[bullimiami]

2. Screwy Louie.

[gratuitous]

3. Anyone hoping that Gohmert would learn something from this

Your hopes are dashed.

[moonscape]

6. "I had CV and it was a breeze ..." The worst

are the asymptomatic idiots.

[Lokee11]

4. He is a special kind of stupid!

FDT

[tanyev]

7. Yeah....this is how Louie wears a 'mask'.

[LisaL]

9. Wearing a bandana around his mouth every now and then hardly qualifies

as wearing a mask. Look at everybody else in that photo-they managed to wear masks correctly. And then he has the gull to blame his covid on mask wearing!

[Blue_true]

18. Hell, even Gym Jordan (over Gohmert's left shoulder in the background) was wearing his right. nt

[Mr. Ected]

8. I guess we can blame his underwear then

For his being an asshole.

[Blue_true]

19. Good one. nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. How I hope he does get sick. Really, really sick.

[OnDoutside]

12. He's surely not out of the woods yet ?

[Blue_true]

20. A number of initially asymptomatic people get worse, some don't.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

24. I thought he had no symptoms.

A significant percentage of those who test positive never do, or have exceedingly mild and short-lived symptoms. I hope he's not one of those.

[OnDoutside]

27. Well he's a repetitive liar, and secondly, maybe it's early days ?

[Goodheart]

11. He's the stupidest motherfucker Washington has ever seen.

[Blue_true]

21. Someone pointed out that he was once a Judge in Texas. F'ing WOW!!!! nt

[bbrady42]

13. Covid-19 can cause brain damage

So no. Not asymptomatic.

[niyad]

14. Trouble is, with the goob, how can we tell???!

[mitch96]

15. If he hates masks he will REALLY hate the tube down his throat and a respirator!! nt

[Turbineguy]

22. Ah yes,

but he also gets tubes up his schwantz and his ass. That may be a plus.

I expect the ears will be spared, but he doesn't listen anyway

[mitch96]

26. "schwantz" Haven't heard that one in a while..........nt

[hvn_nbr_2]

16. Hey Dumfuck Gohmie, go back to Dumfuckistan. nt

[bdamomma]

23. now that's a

stupid ass.

[Brother Mythos]

25. Gohmert is so stupid I can't help but wonder why the Texas GOP hasn't run him for governor.

Texans continually elect one dumb-ass after another for their governor, so it seems to me that he's the perfect candidate for the job.
