GOP Rep: HRC is "mentally impaired", "special needs"

Gohmert today at the ridiculously named "Value Voters Summit"-

"A true believer does what Jesus did ... you don't make fun of people who are impaired, have special needs, and whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton's made clear, she is mentally impaired," Gohmert joked, to some laughter from the crowd.
...
Seemingly invoking conspiracy theories about Clinton's health that have been debunked, Gohmert referenced a concussion Clinton sustained in a fall in 2012 as his guess for the start of her "impairment."

"Maybe it was the concussion, the fall back when she did, or maybe who knows, they won't tell us what really is going on with her, but if I were going to smash cell phones, BlackBerrys, I'd use a two-pound sledge," he said, referring to a recent FBI report that said at least one of her phones as secretary of state was destroyed with a hammer. "Maybe someone got to whaling around, hit her again. We ought to be praying for Hillary Clinton. There's special needs there -- mental impairment."
...
"That was not a proper thing to say, because again, I'm making fun of the mentally impaired and that's not right," he said.

Since Trump loosed them from those odious shackles of political correctness, there is no line they won't cross. They revel in the ugly diminishing of groups to which they need to feel superior.

What a vile, sorry excuse for a human being. A pox on him. and on all of the knuckle-draggers who keep electing him into an office he is to fit to occupy.

breakfast is making mentally disabled jokes? This is even ballsier than Chris Christie making fat jokes at someone else's expense.
