1. Hard to believe he is a former Texas district judge.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

5. No! It's not! 😏

[TigressDem]

9. Yeah. Texas has it's own .... well everything it seems. nt

[alwaysinasnit]

19. My apologies. I was being sarcastic and didn't make that clear.

[TheBlackAdder]

60. 🤣

[rsdsharp]

13. He also served six months as Chief Justice of the Texas Court of Appeals.

[alwaysinasnit]

22. That I didn't know. Ugh!! I guess this is the Republican notion of "merit."

[rsdsharp]

26. Well, it was Rick Perry who appointed him to fill an unfinished term,

so take that for what it’s worth.

[alwaysinasnit]

27. I guess, birds of a feather stick together.

[smb]

49. Birdbrains Of A Feather nt

[alwaysinasnit]

52. Priceless!!!

[anarch]

17. have you seen our current Attorney General???

we seriously have a banana-republic style corrupt state government, especially at the very top

[alwaysinasnit]

21. My apologies. I was being sarcastic and didn't make that clear.

[Raster]

37. No it isn't. I lived in Texas for 15 years.

Not. Hard. To. Believe. At. All.

[Trueblue1968]

61. Louis "Gomer Pyle" Gohmert is such a stupid, hateful man. I want him gone from politics ASAP

[niyad]

71. Please do not insult Gomer Pyle. He was a decent human being.

[SoonerPride]

65. I wouldn't let him judge a pie contest

He is truly a moron.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

81. "I wouldn't let him judge a pie contest."

So hilarious and yet so true! Gohmert has got to be one of the stupidest members of Congress.

And poor Louie is triggered by the fact that you can't even tell a good lie anymore without getting into trouble.

[lisa58]

2. There is something seriously wrong with that man

[FalloutShelter]

3. Yeah... remember the Olsen days

When lying was dishonorable and lying to the Congress or FBI could get you arrested? Good times. Oh wait…

[Hassler]

4. Boe Boe the village idiot and Perjury Traitor Greene will be sad

To see Gomer leave.

[Boomerproud]

6. Didn't he crucify Clinton about laffaire Lewinsky?

How this moron had any success in life is bewildering to me.

[Raster]

38. He's a Texas Good ol' Boy...

...they look after their own.

Prime example: the Uvalde Police Department.

[BidenRocks]

58. Oooh! They are so badass.

With their hats and suits with the face which just shouts asshole!

[momta]

88. It would be bewildering to me too, but...

I grew up in the district that continues to elect him to Congress.

[Ocelot II]

7. Well, yeah, Louie. Those are crimes, so...

[TigressDem]

8. Dude, if you lie to Congress or FBI it doesn't matter WHICH party, you're WRONG and gonna get it.

Duh?


WHY would they think lying to Congress or the FBI is one of their rights or something?

Ever heard of perjury?

Gah.

[Hekate]

10. Gohmert haz a sad because he can't perjure himself! I just laughed and laughed...

[onetexan]

77. LOL i could only react w laughter like u

At tge stupidity & absurdity of this wretched man's comment

[RAB910]

11. this is the brain damage caused by consuming toxic

anti-American right-wing propaganda

[walkingman]

15. More than likely it from the stench this state puts in the damn air

on a daily basis.

[Sanity Claws]

12. He is no longer entitled to lie to Congress or the FBI!

OMG. He is just like the rest of us now.
He truly has earned his nickname of Gomer.

[SergeStorms]

34. And if you do...

"you're thrown in jail and terrorized and tortured".

Really, Louie? You're not exaggerating even a little bit there, Louie?

What a maroon.

[Baitball Blogger]

14. Said the man who senses he's losing his white entitlement.

Wah! The woke culture is forcing integrity on us. Wah! Wah!

[SCantiGOP]

16. There is a specific law

That makes it a crime to knowingly lie to the FBI. And it carries potentially more jail time than
Perjury or other offenses.

[BootinUp]

18. A RWNJ classic right there. Sigh

[agingdem]

20. If you can't lie to Congress or the FBI who can you lie to..right Louis?

Obviously Louis is a man without a brain condom…

[erronis]

53. That would be the smallest condom on record. Maybe one neuron?

[blogslug]

23. Looks like someone got some veneers or dental implants

Might want to have those shaved down, Louie. I detect a slight whistle. Are you gussying up for media job in your post-congressional career?

[Sogo]

24. Dumb as a rock....

Sheesh.

[SergeStorms]

39. This is what...

a Texas A&M and Baylor Law School education get you. His parents' money was totally wasted.

[niyad]

72. Rocks are at least useful, and often decorative.

[kentuck]

25. Obviously, Republicans are treated very unfairly...

Poor Louie just doesn't get any respect...

[Rebl2]

28. Isn't that

the way it works? No lying to the FBI or Congress?

[calimary]

29. Call the WAAAAAAAAAHMbulance.

“You can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent…” ?????

Good grief…. Like it’s supposed to be okay to do that??? WTF???

[rurallib]

30. I had heard he was the top in his law school class

Is that true?

Good lord, if so, what was the rest of the class like?

[onenote]

33. Even scarier: he was a judge for over a decade

[RainCaster]

31. What is the world coming to?

Those rich old white guys have lost so many perks.

[usaf-vet]

32. How much time does he spend each day practicing to be an a$$hole? Lying come naturally.

36. Funny, I didn't hear about his outrage when Sussman was prosecuted.

Or when the President of the United States repeatedly and loudly and publicly announced his intention to lock up his political opponents, not even bothering to pretend they broke any laws.

[Caliman73]

51. He thinks that Sussman got let off because he is a Democrat.

Doesn't seem to know how trials work even though he was a judge for a decade.

The prosecution got a chance to present a case against Sussman but did not meet the standard to achieve a guilty verdict.

There actually is a two tier justice system in the US, but not for Republicans and Democrats. The two tiers are, if you are Rich, you can delay and escape justice on technicalities. If you are poor, not even being innocent keeps you out of prison.

[erronis]

55. Stop trying to inject reason into this discussion!

You'll just make Gohmert have another breakdown.

[Caliman73]

56. Promise?

That would be nice if the guys in the white coats with the butterfly nets and straight jackets came in and just hauled him off to some padded room.

[Evolve Dammit]

40. Excuse Gomer. Dropped on his head as an infant, he suffers mightily. And yet he became a JUDGE. TX.

[Vinca]

41. Just when I think Marj is dumber than Louie . . .

[gldstwmn]

42. Are his tax returns in order? One wonders.

[Jack the Greater]

43. Can't even lie to Congress and the FBI anymore

What is the world coming to? We are losing all of our God-given rights. Next thing you know we won't be able to try to overturn an election without getting a sidelong glance.

[lastlib]

44. SO glad they don't let this jeenyus play with subatomic particles

we'd all be glowing in the dark.....or dead.

[11 Bravo]

45. Give Louie a break. They forgot to water and fertilize him this week, so he's not at his best.

[RussBLib]

46. "no big deal to lie to the FBI, huh?"

Was the last thing spoken on that clip. So, Newsmax, ya'll are good with lying to the FBI and Congress, too, like Louie Gohmert is?

Sussman gets acquitted but Gomer is convinced he was guilty.

What a malevolent idiot Gomer is. I'm embarrassed to say that I was born in the district he now represents, and so many of the people that live there just love Louie.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

82. Yes, he is regularly elected with over 70% of the vote.

[Bristlecone]

47. Jesus H is this guy stupid. Unfortunately the viewers buy what he's selling

[The Bopper]

48. Missing the point

According to “right wing “ media, with zero proof, told them the Clintons, the Obamas and every Democrat lies all the time and nothing happens. In the world of their alternative facts, the Democrats are getting away with literally murder.

[MerryBlooms]

50. 😂

[Efilroft Sul]

54. Trouble, oh, we got trouble, right here in Washington City!

With a capital "T"
That rhymes with "G"
And that stands for Gohmert!

With a capital "T"
That rhymes with "B"
And that stands for Boebert!

[patphil]

57. I guess he believes that lying to the FBI is a perk if you're a Republican.

The word is perp, Louie, not perk.

May you reap the rewards of your arrogance and stupidity...up to 5 years in prison, and up to 8 if it relates to a domestic terrorism event.

[Snackshack]

59. Same guy who asked if

The Forestry Service or BLM could change the orbit of the Moon to cool Earth… I 💩 U not, it’s on tape.

[TNNurse]

62. Well, they have been getting away with it for a long time....

[AngryOldDem]

63. What is wrong with him?

🤦‍♀️

[KPN]

64. WTF? Oh, SNAP! Is that ever an eye opener -- they don't

just lie, they actually think it’s a normal and perfectly acceptable practice. Like everybody does it everyday all the time. Wow!

[keithbvadu2]

66. Of course you can lie, Gohmert. You just don't want to be accountable.

Of course you can lie, Gohmert.

You just don't want to be accountable.

[Blue Owl]

67. Fuck that simpleton

[SKKY]

68. I'm sorry. I know it's not their fault, bless their hearts...

...but 219,276 people in Texas' 1st Congressional District are absolute idiots.

[colsohlibgal]

69. Amazing And Disturbing

That people look at him and hear him think he’s congressional material backs up the dumbing down of America theory. Good Grief.

[usonian]

70. Only sleeping dogs are allowed to lie. nt

[niyad]

73. Dear Goddess, he actually said that. Out loud. On the air. I think that beats "peach tree dish".

[BobTheSubgenius]

74. Why is it that Gohmert is widely considered to be the dumbest member...

...of a not terribly gifted Congress? There must be some reason for that.

[Sneederbunk]

79. He wears his stupidity on his sleeve.

[BobTheSubgenius]

91. And proudly, it would seem.

[Ziggysmom]

75. This is a hoot! But it's sad and terrifying that our elected leaders are this brainless!

[MissMillie]

76. Sounds like an admission of criminal conduct

If telling the truth gets you in legal trouble, then maybe there are things you shouldn't be doing.

[dlk]

78. This is the guy Rick Perry, as governor, appointed chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court

Republicans are deeply incompetent and corrupt. Gohmert is, theoretically, an officer of the court. What a joke!

[Buns_of_Fire]

80. How... DARE... they...!!!

Casting asparagus at one of the keenest minds of the Goober Party? 'Tis not done in respectable MAGAt circles!

He's just cranky because he abdicated his championship title in the House, and now two WOMEN are competing for the crown. (Disclaimer: I've got $5 on Margie the Kook to win it all, so I have a vested interest.)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

83. MAGAt privilege I guess

[HuskyOffset]

84. Louie Gohmert is what you get when . . .

Louis Gohmert is what you get when a Keebler elf gets into the bath salts.

[colorado_ufo]

85. This is so absurd that I thought that I had misread it.

Dumbass.

[LudwigPastorius]

86. If that jagoff had a brain, he'd take it out to play with it. n/t

[wryter2000]

87. How's your asparagus, Congressman? n/t

[MustBeTheBooz]

89. "No big deal to lie to the FBI, eh?"

“No, exactly.”

What the actual fuck?

[Emile]

90. I remember a time not so long ago the Republicans said they were the party of the rule of law.

Now they are the party that challenges the law.
