I see America's Dumbest Congressman
has returned to the House in fine form.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) called on American leaders to emulate Egypt’s military dictator, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi–a man who orchestrated a coup d’etat and has presided over the killing of more than a thousand dissidents.
Gohmert made the remarks on Wednesday in a speech from the House floor denouncing radical Islam, and the Muslim Brotherhood.
“I hope one day that our top leaders in this country will have the courage of president el-Sisi in Egypt and they will reflect, as general el-Sisi has, the will of the people of their country,” Gohmert stated.
You don't see congressmen praising dissident-killing military dictators quite as often as you used to, but for Louie that was just the side dish. The main course was supposing the current president was a Sekrit Muslim working with the Muslim Brotherhood to make America Muslimy, and
you know it must be true because:
Gohmert once again suggested that President Obama is secretly a Muslim, citing an incident in the 2008 primary season when then-candidate Obama mistakenly said he had visited 57 states, which Gohmert contends was an accidental reference to the 57 members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
We're through the looking glass, people. Oh, and also? Louie Gohmert says he is
not a crackpot.
“I fear God, I don’t fear any man. I’m not a ‘phobe’ of anything, but it’s time to recognize truth and that is that radical Islamic terrorists want to destroy our way of life and kill us. It’s very simple.”
These are the people who pass our laws. They think the elected leader is a Sekrit Terrorist, they bubble when military dictators really put their foot down and give an elected leader and the common rabble that supported that leader the ol' what-for, and you may or may not raise your eyebrows at how close together Louie Gohmert put those two perhaps-connected thoughts but he said he fears God, so you're not allowed to think that any of the rest of it is a little nuts.
