Gohmert elaborates about Muslim Brotherhood comments

TYLER, TX (KLTV) -
An East Texas congressman says "anti-Muslim investigations" into the Obama Administration are necessary because of the "horrendous decisions" in backing revolutions in Muslim countries across the world.

.....

Congressman Louie Gohmert of Tyler was a guest on The Frank Gaffney Show on Tuesday. On the show, the congressman claims the Obama Administration actively aided al-Qaeda and charges that it follows the advice of the Muslim Brotherhood.

"You look at the decisions it made especially in the last two years in going through the revolutions in Northern Africa and across the Middle East and to the Far East, and the only way you can explain the horrendous decisions that were so completely wrongheaded would be if the administration had a bunch of Muslim Brotherhood members giving them advice," said Gohmert.

He's been in Congress for quite a while, that place where insider trading enriches the members far beyond what a sharp trader out in the real world can do, pulling down $174,000/year, and he's $150,000 in debt.

Yes, Mr. Economic Genius not only hasn't figured out how to steal while surrounded by potential economic hog troughs, he's also managed to go nearly his yearly gross salary into debt.

Judiciary (because of his judicial background) and Natural Resources (as his district sits on top of the East Texas oil field).
