Louie Gohmert Should Take a Permanent Vacation, His Opponent Suggests in New Ad
Because of America’s inability to contain the coronavirus, many countries have closed their doors to U.S. travelers. But East Texas U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert isn’t your average American; he could probably wield his influence to coax some nation to take him in.
It could be wishful thinking, but maybe Gohmert would be down to take a permanent vacation, as an advertisement by his Democratic opponent, Hank Gilbert, politely suggests. After all, working tirelessly to be Texas’ greatest embarrassment (Ted Cruz aside) has got to be pretty exhausting.
The Observer hasn’t been kind to Gohmert in the past, but hey, the guy earned it. We’d be remiss not to point out that he caught the coronavirus after repeatedly refusing to wear a face mask. Oh yeah, and that he recently voted against a House resolution affirming a peaceful transfer of power following Election Day, according to The Hill. Then there was his recent vote against a federal anti-lynching bill. Gohmert's was one of only for votes against the bill in the House.
But the news here today is the commercial — or rather that a Democratic opponent is spending big money in what is generally a safe seat for Republicans, or at least for Gohmert. He took the once solidly Democratic district in 2004 after some deft redistricting by the GOP and has essentially walked through every election since, running twice without a Democratic opponent.
