In Race for Attorney General, U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert Warns of Liberal 'Agenda' Sweeping Texas
Republican attorney general candidate Louie Gohmert is ready to save the state from the libs. (That is, if he can beat incumbent Ken Paxton.)
“The leftwing agenda is invading Texas!” the East Texas congressman wrote in a recent post on his campaign’s Facebook page. “From mask mandates, to school board tyrants, to weaponized migration, to courts pushing transgenderism. We need conservative leadership with more grit!”
Over the years, Gohmert has made a name for himself in Congress as a bit of an eccentric. He’s called those locked up over their participation in the Jan. 6 riots “political prisoners.” He’s suggested changing the moon’s orbit as a way to combat climate change.
Gohmert’s also an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, having filed a lawsuit in an attempt to keep him in power despite Trump’s 2020 electoral loss. And days before the storming of the U.S. Capitol last year, intelligence analysts flagged comments Gohmert made on Newsmax as encouraging violence, according to Politico.
