Louie Gohmert is refusing to do town halls out in east Texas.  Do you want to know why?  He doesn’t want you to get shot.

“At this time there are groups from the more violent strains of the leftist ideology, some even being paid, who are preying on public town halls to wreak havoc and threaten public safety,” Gohmert said in a statement.

“Threats are nothing new to me and I have gotten my share as a felony judge. However, the House Sergeant at Arms advised us after former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot at a public appearance, that civilian attendees at Congressional public events stand the most chance of being harmed or killed—just as happened there.”

There’s a couple of bean dip dumb things about that statement.

First off, Gohmert has voted against every sensible piece of gun legislation in the seven years since Giffords was shot.  If he is concerned about your safety, ‘plain that.

Second off, Gohmert has attended every damn gun fetish and Come-And-Take-It flag waving tea party demonstration in this whole country.  And he’s scared of some kale-eating liberals?

.

Yeah, these really look like some bad hombres.

Third off, how come it’s perfectly safe for Louie to speak at the country club but not the high school cafeteria?

Y’all, Louie was not a “felony judge.” There is no such thing as a felony judge in Texas. So, if you see him, please refer to him as a so-called felony judge.  However, I admit it was a felony for his jerk to ever be a judge.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
