Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) fired back at Democrats during a markup on Thursday, slamming his colleagues across the aisle for their criticism of Republicans during the ongoing gun legislation debate.
The comments came during a House Judiciary Committee markup of a package of bills that seek to tighten gun control measures in the U.S., including raising the age to purchase semi-automatic rifles to 21 years old and placing restrictions on high-capacity magazines.
I dont think that its very effective for the children to have people on the other side of the aisle come in and accuse Republicans of being complicit in murder and that we put our right to kill over others right to live, to infer by rhetorical supposed questions, who are you here for, we must be here for the gunman, is an outrage, Gohmert said.
How dare you. You think we dont have hearts? he added.

(54,403 posts)It was in Philadelphia, 1971. The police commissioner, a true sadistic oaf, asked Longstreth (shows you what a moron he was) in the debate about a time Longstreth had called the police commissioner all sorts of things, such as stupid, oafish, unfeeling, cruel and incompetent, and wanted to know why he had said that?
Longstreth fired back without missing a beat: "Well, if the shoe fits, Commissioner....." The rest of what he said was lost in the howls of approval from me and my two roomies (we were in college).
It was the first time I was eligible to vote, and the ONLY time in my life I ever voted for a Republican.

Emotionally, you don't have a heart, nor do you have a brain or courage.
So there.
