Rep. Louis Gohmert Wants Sergeant At Arms In Congress 'To Arrest' Eric Holder
Rep. Louis Gohmert's call for Eric Holder to be arrested is red meat for the base, but it's also loose, dangerous talk.
If I had to pick one example in the House of Representatives of the type of extremist politician that the Tea Party ushered into American politics then I choose Rep. Louis Gohmert. He's as far right as possible without falling off the edge of Planet Earth. And because he represents the very red District 1 in Texas, his only worry is make sure he sounds crazy enough to be part of Nurse Ratched's therapy sessions.
Brian Tashman:
In an interview Friday on the Family Research Council’s Washington Watch, Rep. Louie Gohmert said that Congress should considering passing a resolution directing the sergeant at arms to arrest Attorney General Eric Holder.
Inside sources tell me that he's very gracious to politicians on both sides of the aisle, but this is crazy talk, people.
This is the kind of crazy talk they were throwing around in the late 90s. You know, stuff that could never actually happen. Like impeachment.
Rep. Gohmert is the nut that wants Congress to carry guns in in the Capitol building:
Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) recently signaled his intention to submit a piece of legislation that would make exceptions to a number of firearms laws by allowing members of Congress to carry guns in D.C. and even into the Capitol building, including the chamber floors.
If I were Eric Holder, I would have one eye open at all times. I'm just saying.
