I know that Donald Trump is hogging all the crazy now, but Louie managed to get some notice by jumping on the Trump.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) praised Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump this week for improving the recent debate “immeasurably.”

Speaking to Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg on Tuesday, Gohmert said that he had met Trump once during an event in New Hampshire.

“We met, our faces are six inches apart,” Gohmert recalled. “And he says, ‘Louie Gohmert!’ And he starts punching me in the chest. ‘I love you, you’re great! You’re really great! I love what you’re doing! Did you get my contribution?’”

“It’s hard to feel badly toward someone that keeps telling you how great you are and they send you money,” the congressman laughed.

Gohmert explained that he had promised to endorse Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for president, but Trump was an attractive candidate.

Honey, compared to Ted Cruz, Louie is attractive.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
