At least he didn't imitate Khrushchev.

There is one good side-effect of the House holding virtual sessions: Louie Gohmert doesn't get to hog the camera at the end of the legislative day.

That said, he's still gag-inducing. Case in point, at today's hearing he started banging his ring on the desk in an effort to disrupt the person testifying. He was admonished by the chair but started up again, claiming "there's no rule about when you can make noise."

Thanks for that info, Louie. Here's hoping your colleagues remember that when you start hogging the camera again, you'll have no one to blame but yourself when you're surrounded by a rising chorus of taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap............


Enjoy your asparagus, butt nugget.

That was the most childish thing I've seen since Trump's last brat tantrum.

Comes around. They don't seem to understand this concept.

But then Louie isn't the sharpest crayon in the box.

...had behaved that disruptively in his courtroom, he’d have had them thrown in the clink for contempt.

What an odious man. That he was ever a judge is terrifying.

But your honor why can't I make noise?

Judge Gohmert, Ballif!

I really don't think he is as dumb as he acts and
so much of it is staged because he has zero respect for "the other side" and he thinks it is a win to get "the libs" upset.
