By Tierney Sneed | July 12, 2018 3:30 pm
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) accused FBI agent Peter Strzok of being liar in a verbal attack during a Thursday hearing, which escalated when Gohmert compared Strzoks smirk in the hearing to how many times did you look so innocent into your wifes eye and lie to her.
Strzok was testifying in front of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, where Republicans peppered him with questions about anti-Donald Trump texts he sent to another FBI official, with whom he was having an affair.
Gohmerts tirade prompted shouting from Democrats who accused the lawmaker of intolerable harassment of a witness.
You need your medication! one lawmaker shouted.

I have to be that all the negative karma being built up by the right will have to come crashing down on them at some point. I hope I live long enough to see it.

(1,823 posts)complete and utter disgrace this was. He accuses him of things and then says "i didnt ask a question" to try to keep him from answering at the end. And after every answer he kept shooting back with stuff to the point the chairman had to cut both of them off.
