Louie Gohmert says Hillary is "mentally impaired..."

Speak for yourself, Louie!

Rep. Louie Gohmert: 'Hillary Clinton Has Made Clear She Is Mentally Impaired'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Friday, 9/9/2016 10:45 am

Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas opened his remarks at the Values Voter Summit today by facetiously apologizing for having said that Hillary Clinton's "brain is in a blender" because it is unchristian to mock those with "special needs."

"You don't make fun of people who are impaired, have special needs," Gohmert said, "and whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton has made clear she is mentally impaired and this is not somebody you should be making fun of."

Making up bombastic accusations that don't even make sense.
It's so sad and unfortunate that Louie lost his mind from having
sex with small rodents for all those years. We should feel sorry for him.

Our favorite crazy uncle - he's gone beyond annoying to just plain funny. I think the people of Texas elect him so they can get a good laugh as they read their morning newspapers.

Disparage the next president and those with special needs in one breath.

Why won't these nasty people just go away?

Truly a sickening human being. I can't imagine what the voters of Texas' First District are thinking, sending this odious man back to Congress again and again.

Sadly, his own impairment causes his mouth to run nonstop with no connection to anything resembling gray matter (much like his fearless leader, the Trumpenfuhrer).

If he gets Gowdy to signal agreement, the entire house repug Microencephalic Caucus can issue a united front joint statement.
