Rep. Gohmert's daughter warns him not to ignore COVID experts, stop following the president

As Tyler Congressman Louie Gohmert finishes his 10-day quarantine with coronavirus, his daughter posted on Instagram and Twitter a message to him about ignoring medical experts and following the president.

Caroline Brooks, one of three daughters of Gohmert, has a successful music career in Los Angeles. She posted about her father on Sunday. Gohmert has made national headlines for his refusing to wear a mask, but said he has worn a mask in the last three weeks more than ever.

Her post said, “Wearing a mask is a non-partisan issue. The advice of medical experts shouldn’t be politicized. My father ignored medical expertise and now he has COVID. This has been a heartbreaking battle bc I love my dad and don’t want him to die. Please listen to the medical experts. It’s not worth following a president who has no remorse for leading his followers to an early grave.”

Gohmert was going to fly on Air Force One with President Trump to West Texas, but had to take a COVID-19 test before the trip. His first test came back positive for the virus.

It's comforting to know that somebody in that family has a brain though I suspect a generation on both the maternal and paternal sides.
