Louie Gohmert says he’s still refusing to wear a mask, even though it’s been mandated by the congressional physician.

“I don’t have the coronavirus, turns out as of yesterday I’ve never had it,” Gohmert said about his reasoning for not wearing a mask.

Gohmert says that he’s “routinely tested,” as are my nerves when he speaks, but he won’t wear a mask until he tests positives.  So, if he gets the virus at 3:30 one afternoon, you are just totally out of luck if he gets near you for the rest of the day.  He probably doesn’t understand this because it’s complicated, but you don’t get a 24 hour guarantee with a test.

“I keep being tested and I don’t have it,” he said. “So I’m not afraid of you, but if I get it I’ll wear a mask.”

Well, see, you shouldn’t be afraid of me because I’m wearing a damn mask and throwing my feet in reverse when I see you, Louie.

Thanks to Mel for the heads up.
