Louie Gohmert is a nut! A very nutty nut. And that’s the only reason he was elected to Congress, because his base – The Teaparty – loves nutty nuts!
Gohmert has said and done some nutty things too, and right up there with the rest of them is his nutty call to Congress to arrest the Attorney General, Eric Holder.
In an interview on Friday with the Family Research Council’s Washington Watch, Gohmert, the brainchild of the Republican party called for Holder’s arrest.
“When you have someone like an attorney general who is in contempt of Congress, what can we do? Someone in contempt of Congress comes waltzing into the House chamber and he’s in contempt of Congress as found by the Congress, what can be done? I was told that actually you can pass a resolution directing the sergeant at arms to detain anyone who is in contempt of Congress until such time as they comply with the requirement that put him in contempt. In this case, they didn’t provide information from the Justice Department, they had it, they refused to provide it, we found him in contempt.”
It remains to be seen if Congressional Republicans will heed Gohmert call. After all, they are a leaderless group and anyone with something to say, no matter how nutty, gets airtime. Watch this space.
