Poor Ole Louie Gohmert
Louie is back after laying low in the mid terms.
He went on Fox Business this morning and became a meme before noon.
The interview was supposed to be about Google opening in China, which Louie doesn’t know much about but he knows China is godless so his mind is made up. He moves to one of this favorite topics.
“You mention [George] Orwell,” he added, pivoting away from the topic. “That reminds me of another George. George Soros is supposed to be Jewish, but you wouldn’t know it from the damage he’s inflicted on Israel and the fact that he turned on fellow Jews and helped take the property that they own.”
Okay, this is one of those conspiracy theories that ranks right up there with child porn rings in the basement of a basementless pizza parlor in DeeCee.
And to their credit, Fox called it pretty close to what it is – hogwash.
Fox Business Network host Stuart Varney later in the morning distanced the network from Gohmert’s comments, saying, “Congressman Louie Gohmert for some reason went out of his way to bring up George Soros and made unsubstantiated and false allegations against him.”
“I want to make clear those views are not shared by me, this program or anyone at Fox Business,” Varney continued.
However, these are not “views.” These are lies.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Poor Louie. Chasing crazy conspiracy theories while missing the obvious. He should be introduced to Shelly Adelson since Shelly really deserves all of Louie’s crazy attention. What fun is projection with the lens cap in place?
1In the ecumenical spirit of the holidays, Louie will sponsor a Kristallnacht in Tyler during the upcoming Sabbath.
2I would like to see cable news networks, especially Fox, install trap doors in their interview sets. When an egregious lie is told, a lever is pulled by the host, and the guest slides into a pit of snakes, or large felines, maybe tarantulas below the set.
As this would happen every 5 minutes on Fox, I would definitely become a viewer. Something for Murdoch to consider to get his ratings up.
3Louie makes me sad to be a Texan, a man, a human being, on this planet…
4Micr – take refuge in the strong likelihood that Louie is the left-hand anchor on the intelligence bell curve.
5Are there brain worms in Louie’s county ??
6Montag: no. The brain worms all died of starvation.
7@ Rick Says: I would like to see a kill switch on the mic of those ridiculous people who talk loudly and forever when they are on their own particular pony. Nothing annoys me so much…
8I’d be happy enough with a zapper in the seats. The first egregious lie gets a zap at Level 1. The second, including any attempts to defend the first lie, gets level 2. And so the long day wears on. If they’re lying about climate change, the zap number is doubled, because they’ve been talking s*** for so damn long that we’re all just about f***ed.
9Want to see a real class act? Of course you do, especially considering the state our country now finds itself in.

10Louie just can’t help himself. He’s SUCH a GOHMERT!
11I knew it would happen some time. Folks are catching on. Louie is just plain nuts. Once Fox does that jive, you have been certified.
12why cant the Democrats find some one to defeat him. You would think any sane person could win.. He is an embarrassment tp all of Texas.
13Could we have a special trap door for Rick Santorum? Why is he on CNN every day? Pennsylvanians got tired and voted him out years ago. We already know his opinion before he opens his mouth. Louie Gohmert with (better) hair and no constituency.
14@ Gary Halter: I think the reason that his constituents keep electing Louie Gohmert is because sending him to DC keeps him away from them. It’s more humane than running the village idiot out of town, because it provides him with an income and a place to stay.
15Buttermilk Sky @14, Rick Santorum is a special kind of zombie. If the Dan Savage definition of santorum didn’t shame the fool into wearing a bag over his head or silence him, doubt a trap door would bring us but temporary relief from his smarm.
However, in 2016 redux and eleven good reasons to restore balanced FCC campaign regulations right now, it’s a good time to ban gaslighting Gish Gallop Drumpf campaigner Steve Cortes. 2016 was bad with cable news giving Donnie $billions of free air time. So letting Cortes have hours of lying time for free 2 years ahead of the next election would be a good place to begin campaign finance reform.
Gary Halter @13, it’s still Texass; or, Beto O’Rourke would have pummeled Teddie Crooze.
16The only people Louie is speaking to are his constituents, some of whom are my cousins in Fred, Texas. I spent 4th of July with them in 2000. The town is every bit as captivating as its name.
17Louie is their man in Washington and they couldn’t be happier.
