Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX): Today’s “Liar” Award Winner

 

Congratulations to….

 

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)

Today’s “Liar” Award Winner

 

 

  

This isn’t the first Award presented to Louie. In the past, he has been the recipient of twenty (20) Awards in various categories. Those awards are listed at the end of this article and can be viewed by going to the listed categories.

 

During a recent (07/11/14) rant on the House Floor, Louie compared the flood of undocumented children coming from Central America to soldiers invading France during World War II.

 

Louie then called upon fellow Loon, Gov. Rick Perry to:

  • “That’s why I’m hoping that my governor will utilize Article 1, Section 10 that allows a state that is being invaded, which in our case is more in recent months, which is more than  twice as many than invaded France on D-Day.”
  • “Under Article I, Section 10, the state of Texas would appear to have the right, not only to use whatever means, whether it’s troops, even using ships of war, even exacting a tax on interstate commerce that wouldn’t normally be allowed to have or utilize, they’d be entitled in order to pay to stop the invasion.”

As usual, Louie likes to play fast and loose with the truth. The allied invasion force on D-Day consisted of 154,000 troops. This number is at least three times as much as the children that have recently crossed by border from Central America into the U.S. Therefore, if Louie’s falsehood were true, there would have been at least 450,000 undocumented children invading the country.

 

Louie’s claim that Texas would have the right to using ships of war to stop the invasion doesn’t pass the involuntary laugh test. What ships of war is this fool speaking of? Who knows, maybe Gov. Perry can put together a fleet of yachts compliments of his millionaire handlers.

 

If Louie truly wishes for Texas to become its own county via secession, then he should introduce legislation allow all of the blue states to vote on the issue. Such a vote would likely result in victory for Louie and his secessionist friends.
