Crazy Louie Gohmert....

GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has never been accused of being the smartest guy in the room, but even his conspiracy theories make you wonder what alternate reality he lives in. On Monday night, just after he and Steve Bannon held a rally for accused child molester Roy Moore, Gohmert said on “Breitbart News Tonight” that Christians were very lucky Hillary Clinton didn’t win the presidency, because if she had, they would all be in jail right now.

“If Hillary were elected and then she replaces [Antonin] Scalia with someone who has contempt for the God we know rules the universe, and our freedom of religion would have been gone. They consider Christians a hate group, even though it’s the one true religion based on ‘God so loved the world he gave his son. His son so loved the world he gave his life,’ and they have turned that upside down. They were going to be coming after Christians with the help of then a 5-4 Supreme Court,” Gohmert said.

Clinton’s persecution of Christians may have even landed him in jail, he said he told his wife.

It would be different if they kept their fantasies to themselves, but when they try to foist those fantasies on the rest of us, they get dangerous.

he is as dumb as they come. Sad he's involved in running the country. No wonder it's in such bad shape.
