Louie Gohmert Tests Positive For COVID

By Frances Langum — July 29, 2020

Here at Crooks and Liars, we NEVER wish sickness or death on anyone. And we certainly hope Louie Gohmert, who tested positive for COVID 19, has a speedy recovery. We also hope his congressional colleagues were, UNLIKE LOUIE, wearing a mask around him. Because contagion.

We need to keep in mind that while a mask protects you somewhat, it is mainly to protect others. So Gohmert’s recklessness endangered many of his colleagues and a large number of staff on Capitol Hill. Despicable.

It would be wrong to laugh at @replouiegohmert over this, right?

The idiot has been walking around the halls of Congress and attending a meeting w/out wearing a mask and, therefore, putting others at risk. Idiot. https://t.co/I0i3ybTkC4

GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert, Who Refused to Wear a Mask, Now Has Coronavirus

The Texas lawmaker has refused to wear a mask in the Capitol, insisting that he would wear one if he tested positive.

How many people did he infect before he got the test results?https://t.co/P8buInHs8G

If @replouiegohmert hadn't been scheduled to fly on Air Force One today, he would still be walking around Congress as a COVID-19 carrier… without a mask on.

He should be censured. Indeed, he should be kicked out of the House.

Did Louie get a COVID test in preparation for his flight with the so-called president? Too bad that precaution wasn't available for Gohmert's colleagues and staff.

And we wish there was a vaccine for the crazy that is Louie Gohmert.
